Projects the coupe from half moon farms

i was thinking maybe the grill is a little too big its off of a 33 truck. but ill try a few more adjustments and see if it helps .i was also thinking about maybe lowering the whole car another inch or 2. heck i don't know i just think something is a little off and its bugging me. thanks for all the help lord knows i can use it.

 

looks like its coming along well nice job

 

You are right on what is bugging you. a little too much rear wheel well showing. Dropping the car 2" or 3" would fix it. Stance is everything. The car is coming along great! Great vision! My next car project is a 31 coupe. Thanks for the inspiration.

 

MMMMMMMMM............cookies.

 

looking good!

 

I disagree. The highboy stance is right on. If anything allows the inner fender-well to be revealed it's the slicks. They are just a little shorter than your "average" tire. Lowering this car more would take away a lot of the nostalgic feel this car has.

 

The stance of your car is right on! its got the real old hot rod stance! I love it and wouldn't change it too much. Thats the kind of style im trying achieve with my Hudson....little harder with an odd rod! Keep up the good work!

 

NICE NICE NICE....love the name also...Half Moon Coupe

 

very nice sits just right.

 

you definitely lucked out

 

The stance is perfect! Cookies look good as well....

 

Cars really coming along!!! Keep it going!

 

Update!!!

 

I think this is it. also strip the shell or paint it grey to match the body. The eye is drawn to the colour in a see of grey. Makes it harder to tell if it's right.

Great build. Did you get that drivers window fixed?

I'm in the middle of about 4 or 5 modifications nothing major.but i should start having some more pics for you in the next few weeks. thanks for all the comments it helps to have another set of eyes

 

Car looks great....really coming along. Nice to see some guys from FL on here!

 

Dude, I officially hate ya!

I been on craigs list for ages and havent ever seen anything worth buyin....

nice to see another A in J-ville!

Looks great!

 

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!! What drivetrain are you thinking of running in your coupe?

 

Matt - Car is looking dialed...

I like the stance, it just looks like the grill is a little high and leaning back, like someone else mentioned.

Remember, it should be parallel to the cowl line, so actually leaning forward with the rake of the car -

 

tim that makes a lot of sense and i never thought about it. thanks

 

im going to be running a 331 chrysler with a t-5 behind it

 

well i have been trying to make some head way but its going kinda slow! it takes me 3x's longer than i think it should. i had to clearance the fire wall a little. not sure if its common to do it this way but this is what i come up with. still have to finish it but you get the idea

 

then i got started on the dash i didn't realize this thing had so much bondo and fiberglass on it when i bought it! but it was one of those online auction's http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp231/matt_b2003/firewallanddash006.jpg[/IMG]

 

that dash is freaking sweet (what is it from again? I didnt go back to look, sorry being lazy.)

nice job and good job clearancing the firewall.

 

Love this car... firewall looks really cool.

 

Awesome dude.

 

Looks really good thanks for the update!

 

Lookin good. Your coupe is really coming along great.

 

thanks man. the dash and the steering column come out of a 40 ford

 

great looking project, it seems to be going good and smooth, did you take out a loan? I noticed all the tools are new and the chrome etc, keep us posted .... I WANT ONE TOO.
