Thanks, Ended up cutting the ends of the coilbuckets off and gained about 1.5 inchs of front travel, front is great now.Just finished up the heater install. Should get my side windows from the glass shop tomorrow, brakes adjusted, oil changed , just about ready to leadfoot it to the Pileup!
Thanks guys. working on the grill area now. put in a 49 merc grill opening and I am building a custom grill and gravel pan. Also putting on a 41 Cad front bumper to match the rear. I had hoped to do more this winter but have not had time. I will post pics when i get the front done.
I really like the flow of this kustom- the rear fender stretch, fleetline roof portion in the chop, and amount of chop- all make for a very nice flow. I like the photoshop idea with full fadeaways...like Jimmy Summers. The sombreros are the icing on the cake
Brownmetal you have done it, the perfect chop on one of these coupes. I've seen a lot of really nice ones and some terrible ones but this is the best of the bunch as far as chopping the roof. I have no idea how I missed the thread because I am a big fan of these coupes.
Still have some tuning to do on the front of the hood. This is the second attempt at a grill. First was a severly narrowed 53 Ford grill that turned out great but looked wrong. This one is made out of Cad bumper gaurds and random bumper pieces.
