Good for you! I really like the stance.

 

looks good, nice stance. what kind of drivetrain is in it?

 

details??

 

Very cool. Love those Merc caps and the stance!

 

You guys will be disappointed..It was a stocker parked away in 2 different barns( 50 yrs) until I rescued it.. I built it as I thought a coupe should look in 1960.. It had never been apart and I built it on the frame with fenders on..SBC/auto, 7.60's-5.60's, kickstand lakes, 1940 column and shift.. Sorry if I misled..........

 

No need to apologize to me. The fact that you got an old piece of iron back on the road after that long is the important thing. And it looks really cool. Have fun and drive it!!

Well, you have a nice foundation to build on, that's for sure. IMHO a flatty V8 would have been more period correct, but if you have a 283 in there it fits the 1960 theme. Nice save.

 

very cool coupe....congrats!

 

Love it!

 

Carl, The car looks great. See ya in a few days!

Later,Bill

 

Congrats

Lookin FINE

 

So did you have to box the frame or update the steering to make it driveable with the new engine and horsepower?
