    Well actually yeasterday but I finally got some help unloading it this afternoon. All the parts are there, I showed three bodymen friends of mine and they were all stoked. That rust on the bottom of the door is just a little surface scale, there is zero rot on this sucker. Unfortunately this is the last update I'll have because I'm not touching it till the roadster is moving under its own power so enjoy.

    SE Michigan about two hours from my house. I think the guy said it came from the South Bend, Indiana area. But I won it on eBay.

    I'm not touching the coupe till the roadster is driving. Same thing I did when I bought the roadster while I was building the sedan. I can't swing building two of them at once and if I start on the coupe that roadster will never get done.

    nice looking coupe - congrats
     
  16. You've got a great group of cars and a lot more will power than me.
    The only way I could keep my hands off that thing would be to store it out of sight.

    60's street racer theme. Gloss black, 3" chop, 32 frame and grille shell, chrome reverse with blackwalls, and a dual quad 327 with a 4 speed. Of course that's what I'm thinking right now. Who knows what the plans will be when I get around to working on it.
     
  21. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'm liking the sound of that!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
