    :)

    On January the 15th, 2009 ... I will have owned this 32 3W coupe 4 years. It has taken much longer to get to this point than I thought it would. Here it is 4 years ago.

    And this was taken this afternoon ( 1/10/09 ) Notice the 100 or so big trees missing ... and the little dog is a different one. The other one died but this one is trying real hard to fill the void ...
    :)

    I will not bore you guys with the construction photos ... but I am pretty happy with the coupe so far.

    I still have to finish up the Vintage Air and complete the wiring ... before I take it to the upholstery man.

    I really like how the rear window goes up/down. I have never had a car with that feature before. :D

    This old coupe has been off the road since 1958 ... but the WIFE and I plan on it being on the road A LOT this summer and fall. ;)

    Fronts are 165/80/15R Kumos on a 4.5 wide rim
    Rears are 235/75/15R Kumos on a 7 inch wide rim

    Straight axle under the front is a 48 inch wide dropped 4 inch tube type.

    Plans are for a leather interior ... and a brown color.
    The wife and I are trying to decide the shade of brown now.
    It will look a good bit like this ... but BROWN and the garnish moldings
    are already done to match the dash.

    We have the original seat and arm rests also ( like this 3W :) )
