Sweeeet !!!

 

VERY nice!!!

 

No hood senor, to cover that would be a sin.

 

OFF for now....wear it as a hat and then ON in January when you roll that bad boy out for a winter MN SPIN!!!! Awesome ride...I just bought another 40 Deluxe Coupe (replacing my Tudor) that will be here next week....just love the damn things!!!

 

Mark - that's so bitchin - I know you had that in mind, didn't know you were doing it.

I vote for hood on - as beautiful as that motor is ... I think 40s look better hooded generally. Either way you can't lose.

 

That sounds damn nice!

 

Nice work! Sounds perfect!

 

I like your thinking Jeff. Wether you're kidding or not, it sounds cool.

 

I like them with hoods... but the Caddy mill (and even the super clean radiator) are pretty great looking.

 

That engine is beautiful and sounds great! but for christsake put the freakin hood on that car! Looks like a bucktooth stepchild without it!

 

Killer! WHo the hell gave this thread one star?!

 

I m a hood guy. But I d have to wait a
while...what MILL.

 

Wow that is a great looking car!

 

I m a hood guy. But I d have to wait a
while...what a mill.

 

Maybe something like this? Only on a smaller scale.

Badmutherfuker!

 

Jeff & Mark,

I have the utmost respect for you guys and everything you have done, but are you serious about a clear hood? Not a custom...it is a hot rod!!!! While I have never seen it done, I have never seen Caterpillar wheels under a deuce, either!!!!

 

I vote for the hood on too---40's look the best to me with the hood on--with the Caddy mill it's kinda "sneeky Pete" deal---really cool-just finishing another 40 cpe and will only run it without the hood for a week or so to dial it in--then the hood goes on

 

That's the kind of rap music I like.

 

Do we get to vote? Ha!

 

Hood on...and..I know it's a tiny, tiny thing to nit-pick...but I'd really like to see the top radiator hose replaced...just never did like flex hose, even if it is a Green Stripe. I know, shoot me.

It looks like a fairly severe set of curves, but I wonder if you could use part of a molded hose to match it, or, maybe two molded hoses with a coupler. I suppose you could also use a chrome pipe with short hose couplers at each end.

As I said, nit-picking...the car looks beautiful in the video. Nice job on the exhaust, too.

 

I had to look again for the 23rd time... damn it man what have you done? That 40 is just too sweet! The world really is a wonderful 40 caddy coupe after all.

 

Great lookin 40....cool mill

 

Mark, what happened to your flathead man?? (sounds like a line from American Graffiti) Finally pulled the low mileage original out! Looks great!
