Keep looking guys, they're still out there

  1. The first thing i've been told to look for is if it has cowl light, also to look for the ciger lighter althou I'm not 100% sure on that yet. I have seen the roll down rear window in all coupes, rumble seat or trunk.

    I don't see a right side tail light, either.
     
  2. This coupe is badass, is it yours?

    Getting them cleaned up, and rolling is a great time in a build. I'm excited for ya. I love those things.
     
  12. Kinda weird how you can dream about something and then you see it in reality, and even better yet it's yours now! Awesome score!!
     
  13. CO-FUCKING-CANE!!!

    No wonder I never see ol Burns anymore, he is in his garage working while I'm home changing diapers.
     
  14. Congrats on the find. Please keep the build updates coming on this thread so all can see the start to finsh. What is the name of car going to be since anytime a car is found you have name it something. I am thinking

    pocket full of change coupe
    34 dream
    hide away coupe
    the mower 34 coupe
    or name it your grandfarther first name with coupe at the end.
     
  15. I never was a big diaper changer. Ha Ha. Besides them kids are only going to be in diapers for so long, then no more excuses, time to get a hot rod running Geno.
     
  16. I named my daughter after my grandpa, so that name might work out good. I'm doing mine a little different than my grandpa's coupe. I started tearing my 292 down the other night. I will get some more pics up soon.

    Love your part of the world, we've made Gros Ventre/Jackson/Yellowstone for about 20 summers running, let the kids dig that shale along the way.
