ORANGE Jalopy coupe!

Oh, that's just because we're awesome!

 

That last shot is the hilarious! My new screen saver!

 

Nice cars and that pic is funny as $hit!!!

 

Just screwing around...

 

is that also what the rear is from?

I think the car looks great btw. It just has that feel...

 

I believe it's the complete unit.

 

What a great car! I can sniff the sweet stink of pure HOT ROD all the way up here. Smells like trouble..

 

the heavy chop looks perfect with the hiboy theme. personally, i think there are far too many hot rods inches off the ground with the top of the tires almost to the roof. its good to see a bare bones hot rod like they used to be. i love the car, great work!!

 

Very Nice i like it heavy chop like mine was gonna go back up but might keep it that way 6 or more chop

 

very sinister. i think those spokes might work for ya with some biased plys

 

Very nice! What are the seats out of?

 

seats are out of an Anglia, or so I was told by my sister who fould them at a garage sale.

 

40's? With a SBC?

 

Fine job young man, looks great.

 

this was the first ford i had ever driven with a chevy in it, and that was just last week. TALL is the look in my book.. awesome car matt..

 

BOTH cars look cool guys.

 

I agree, I think if people would look at more magazines from the era they want to emulate instead of old skool gayrods, they would have a more accurate traditional car, In the case of this coupe, I looked at the newest part on the car, that being the 1958 283, so I decided to look at hot rods from 58-64, the thing is I didn’t look at show cars I looked at drag cars, I looked at the cars in the background shot at the strip. allot of those cars were rough, I did some research and determined as a drag car in 58 the coupe would have been a B/Altered, so from there I looked at all the B/A coupes I could find, and allot of them were not that low. So the stance, seatbelts, and square role bar help give the car its era distinction. Another thing I did was I didn’t over think the car, when I got the chassis it had some funky wishbone mounts and I was real tempted to re-do them, but I decided that they looked gross because they where actually done along time ago, and it helps give the car its primitive backyard drag car look.

 

i love it! excellent job, what did you do for a firewall cant see in the pics?

 

Mojo.

 

I like it. I questioned the square roll bar initally though....
I'm impressed that you went from a good body without a chop on bare frame to that in only four weeks. I'd like to see the trend move from easter eggs, rat rods, and airbags to more of the everyman traditional..but then I'm biased.

Very nice . Fun ,functional and the bare necessities . Zoom zzzzzzzzoom

 

stock firewall backwards, slice the top corners and bend them down a bi,t and it will bolt back in.

 

So, bad ass hot rod coupe or bad ass hot rod roadster heads-up in a drag race....50's style from a roll?

 

I've never had any problems with a single pot master.

This is one of the sickest cars I've seen recently. I love the tall stance.

 

am i mistaken or is the car in vallejo? will it be at billetproof or midnight mass this year?

 

Its in Vallejo, I will be at billetproof. and It will be at the Norcal knockout show at the Vallejo fairgrounds July 3rd.

 

bad ass model A

 

Two words: Love it!

 

Nice "A" dude. building one as we speak.

 

Guess I must be off today.....the only thing I like about it is the chop....
