    Thanks everyone again.
    The plan is to drive the coupe for a few weeks, work out all the bugs, then get stuff to the chromer, after that, it's off to upholstery.
    It should look pretty cool, when it's all done.

    The wheels are 40 Ford steelies 4" in front 4.5" in rear.
    Tires are Firestones, 5.00 X 16 Dirt track tires in front, and 750 X 16 in the rear.

    The pitman arm is just bare metal right now, it will be plated.
    It sounds good, and it has torque, I mean torque, it's a pleasure driving it.
    Gotta say, I need to adjust the carbs, properly, there are flat spots, but that's all part of the fun.

    Amazingly top notch in such a short time,
    even with the mechanical setbacks.
