    That headlight stand matches his shifter pretty good!

    love this build... what is the spring rate of your rear coils? I am curious, I wanted to run a very similar setup.

    Spring are 250lbs. I recommend to put they more straight than mine, I think car would be more stabile to drive in curve, or then not... They feels good now, but I hope they'll work on the road too.

    No, it is still in pieces. I concentrate to build it in this winter and start and run it in engine dyno.

    Damn nice headlights!
     
  20. When I saw "Finland"'in the title, this was the first thread I read today. How have I missed this one! You guys build the best cars over there. This one is coming along great, awesome fabrication. I've never been a fan of the E&J lights, I think some Guide 582s or even stock model A, any larger light would look better, that's just my opinion. I love the Desoto taillights, however. The paint scheme looks great as well. Keep up the good work, can't wait to hear the blown flathead!

    Just found this thread. Absolutely awesome!

    That shifter is almost pornographic yet I'm uncomfortably drawn to it. Does that make me bi?

    Well, I like E&J lights very much... And I have to be different, one guy I know he have in his sbc powered coupe stock model A lights, one friend have in his FH powered roadster guide 682's and my other friend have in his hemi coupe ford '36 lights.....
