    So this is more of an introduction to a project a couple of months ago I traded my 1950 olds 88 for a 1927 moody t coupe as a forgotten project. Here’s a couple of picture from when I got it to where I’m at now I’m at now.

    Glad it found a nice home.
    Good call on the back window.
    Will be looking for updates.
    BTW It is recommended that one should click on the 'full size' button before posting pics.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I have to ask what did you do with the 348 that was in it?

  8. If that W engine has the F code it might be worth quite a bit to the right fella

    The 348 was just a bare short block with junk heads and core carbs. I ended up selling it to fund the y block and t10 transmission. I don’t appreciate a W enough to fund a full rebuild. Cool for others just not me.

    I can, but if you try to zoom in on them on a phone it’ll shut the photo off pretty easily where posted bigger you can let go and it stays big etc.

    wasn’t trying to be a dick or anything you can post how ever pleases you. I had just saved the photos so I could zoom in easier and figured I’d repost them larger.

    It makes watching your thread easier and more enjoyable if you post them as full size images instead of thumbnails!

    That looks really cool. How much was the chop? I'm just starting on mine, I have a 10" chop and have mounted mine on a 1933 Willys chassis. I was going to run an Old's 215 and 5 speed but considering hopping up the banger. I'm also measuring up to add to the cowl as the Burbank Choppers did on Aaron Kahn's T. Keep posting

    Aarons is “bad news” right?

    the chop is 8”. The body still isn’t sitting quite right the back is actually lower than the front but I can’t get that completely set just yet until I get the correct cite wheels and tires. I’m going 7.50 16 in the back and 525/550 16 in the front.
