    Looks cool, what size tires you running?
     
  13. Thanks for all the good words guys, I need to finish up the rear suspension and revamp a few things. Nope Rusty1 i'm still lookin for a chevelle. I'm just gonna focus on the coupe for right now, then I need to get my truck done. The tires are 5.50 x15's and L78 15's from coker. 40 ford wheels on the front and stock 52 olds wheels on the rear. Motor and trans are 53 and the rear end is 52 olds. Dash and steering column will be 52 olds.

    I'll have to snap a few shots Langy, I haven't started cutting on it yet.

    Happy birthday Billy!

    Unfortunately, he passed away march of 2008. The good news is, after some time to grieve, his dad is back to work on it for him! Next time I see him at a car show, I'm gonna see about getting over there to check out the progress. I'll report back.

    Man.... that's terrible. I always wondered how he was doing with that little coupe. Billy was a really cool guy.
