    Well, I was really sad to see it go as I had brought it a long way from its butchered beginnings, but the new owner did a great job finishing it somewhat to what I had in mind.

    How it looked when I got it -

    Then it left me and went to Bob in Florida looking like this-

    Now it is finished and in my opinion one of the baddest business coupe's I have seen!!! Long ass, Small Block 350 bored out to 408 HP, Rousch rear end with customer Mosier Axles, etc, etc.-

    Well that certainly turned out nice! I love the satin copper metallic. It's one of my favorite colors. Fresh and clean white interior is super awesome. I hate to let vehicles go, but it sure is nice when whoever gets them treats them right.

    Yeah, he did a great job in my opinion. Took it alot farther than I was able or planning to. He did talk to me a few times to get my opinion on how I was planning on finishing it, so it was a big compliment that he finished it with my style in mind.

    Yeah, the tips is the main thing that went against what I had in mind. The interior is a thunderbird interior from what I was told. It also laid alot lower in the rear when it was in my garage, so he must have modified the rear setup to not sit so low.

    looks great.its always nice to know when you sell a car it gets the love and attention that you would have given it.sometimes its better for a car to go to someone else,that way its new to them and they have alot of ambition to finish it and do it justice.

  20. Body proportions are right and if it's being driven then it's perfect, if it's sitting like a TURD (Turd and Undriven Rod Division) then get the popcorn! Nice ride and again, differnt stokes on the uh, tips.
     
  21. Car nice, exhaust bad

    It looks to me that the exhaust tips on the side dont allow him to drop the car all the way down in the rear!?!?!? Those tips gotta go, just my opinion though!!:cool:

    Nice car inside and out. I prefer shiny paint paint and a rear exit exhaust though.

    Port Orange, but he sold it already from what I was told. I think it is still there for now though.

    It is because it is a business coupe (no backseat originally). In my opinion, you gotta lay the rear window down really far to get a somewhat good proportionate look. When we did it, we were going for a Westergard look. That is why alot of people don't chop the business coupes and you don't see them too often. Alot of times, they are hardtop chopped instead of leaving the little back window.
