model a build thread for you not to look at.

So im pretty much doing this "build thread" to document everything and have it all in one place, and if some other people happen to be able to enjoy it then so be it.

it all started about a year and a half ago, when i was living in san diego and came across a super great deal on a 29 coupe-ster, it was an old build and had been sitting for years from what i was told. so after getting it running and looking decent-ish i dove it around ALOT had fun in it, and came across a great deal on the recent coupe, which is what ive always wanted

 

bare with me im trying to add pics and more info

 

...If you build it they will come!

Re your pics....

Go to the flickr page.

Under Share, there's a blue link that says "Grab the HTML/BB code". Click it.

There's a button for BBcode. Push it.

Copy the code, and paste it in your thread....

Should look like this when you're done:

so we got everything bolted together and slapped the body on the frame and had everything redy to go for the king of clubs car show/ drags.

That's starting to look like a pretty decent body now.

Whoo, you were posting that last photo while I was writing, that looks good.

 

i drove it this way for several months and then unfortunatly it was time for me to leave california and move back home to the mother land KENTUCKY. so since we dont have the best weather in the world here in ky all year long since it was cold i decided to tear the ole gal down again and re do some things that i kinda skimped on and take the time to fix it the way i wanted to

Looks great Andrew, I'll have to come down there and check it out

 

I looked at it.

I like it.

 

so you finally looked at? i was just saying that you should probly look at it hahaha,

 

so after looking at it, i dropped the rear and starting cutting and grinding the old brackets off and clean it up real nice so i could get ready to make my rear spring hangers so i could put the spring behind the rear end when it comes time for that .
