    One thing to keep in mind about zoomies, you will lose the performance gain from header scavenging, less you run a supercharger

    Don't give Dave any more ideas....
     
  5. I love the chop on your coupe. If forward visibility will be a problem you could always thin out the visor horizontally for more forward view.
    Keep up the progress!

    Is that a tint base primer tinted close to the final color? or is it a funky new product? I like the color!
    I think the wheel is cool and might look good as the body color if your dash is going to contrast the body!

    Its just red oxide primer and i think the light makes it lok mlike it does in the black berry pic. IDK what the final color is going to be yet but i do like this color. IDK what color frame yet either, may go black... ?? just tryig to figure it out while doing the fitting and finish body work

    Yeah I figured that out after I posted. That's pretty wild. I really like the color of that primer too. Was it still wet when you took the pic? If not it's some mighty fancy red oxide.

Barn find whatever you want to call it I am stoked and thank god and my friend from california who found this for me. Let me know what you think. It has a 303 olds with a hydro i think a chrysler rear LH threads on rear lugs. I need wheels and tires but havent figured out what i want to do yet... I also plan to lower the rear and unchannell i think i just dont know yet. I will drive it just the way it is this summer and This hing has never had a patch panel put in and doesnt need them..

    Hello Dave, looks good to me! A way chopped model A and a good strong well built chassis by the looks of it. If its Dave friendly thats all that counts.
