    Hello!

    This is Chris from Idaho, just bought an old 28' sport coupe body...

    No big plans yet, although I don't think I'll put a roof back on it. I've got a buick 215 with a 4 speed that'll probably end up in it. I'm still deciding on A or 32' rails...

    Looking forward the project, and I'm sure I'll be back looking for some help and inspiration.

    Here is the obligatory "first drive" picture. Doesn't the old lady look enthused?! =)

    Welcome from Florida. Always liked sport coupes and 215's. Great combo. A lift-off top might be a good way to go. Have fun.

    I dont know why the tops started getting cut off.. sport coupes are so much cooler.

    I agree... sport coupes are cool. My doors were relieved of their tops many years before I stumbled across the project. I've got my eyes out for a set of doors ($$$!), but I'm leaning towards running it without them and fabbing a removable hardtop down the road. I'll have plenty to keep me busy building a chassis before I start even thinking about that stuff though!
