    My favorite thing to do is put new tires on a car. I had to drive to four different tire shops to find someone to mount these tires on wires. That's B.S.! So here are a couple pics. What do you guys think? I know I need to go down a couple inches.

    If my brother feels like being nice.... I think he has a pic of us pushing this thing on the trailer when I bought it. That was before I destroyed it:D

    Would love to see that coupe with the runningboard aprons in place like the old strip downs. Just a touch down in the nose and a drop in the tail and it's hot rod city one more time.

  9. I thought there was something different about those wheels. How close are you to driving it legally, Corey?

    Ah jeez, another jalopy from up north in the county, just another car to pass on the road. Those gold wheels look great, looks like all you need are reversed eye springs and you're good to go, except for the V-8, don't want your big brother to have to wait for you.

    Wow , we have an old 30 coupe in the barn too and you have just nailed the build in my head. Its refreshingly different reflecting an old style rod thats just had a fresh chop but otherwise stock (Cheater)and ready for some fun.
     
  13. Oh man that thing looks awesome. It's leaning to the passanger side, and I think the stance on that side is perfect. Tire/wheel combo with the chop looks KILLER!!! Can't wait to see it in person Thursday :D
     
  14. Heres some pics of when you first got it and was dumping the engine in...note my cars still a bone stocker, too ;)

  15. Korn,

    Your car looks awesome, I love the stance and love the chop, but I would go back to the original wheel and tire combination.:D

    I still need fix the sub frame, finish chop, headlights, tail lights, wiring, ... restore car... , etc. It will be a while. Nothing like putting brand new tires on a car you can't drive out of your driveway.

    Just another piece of shit on the road, I guess now we have something in common! ;):D

    It's leaning like that to pre-load the suspension to launch at the line... Oh, I guess she is leaning the wrong way;) Maybe putting some of the subframe back in will help:D

    Are you talking the stock 19's, or go back to the ones pictured above? all terrain mud/snow radials? Like the new tires on Doug's car? Hahaha, sorry Doug. That's my laugh of the day:D

    Well I won't throw out any names, but one of them said, "We can put them on, but you need to sign this stating that we are not liable if your tires and/or wheels get destroyed".

    Great find! I like the stance as it is, and the fenderless condition is perfect. Good luck with it!

    John,
    I don't think I have met you, but I think I know your car. I know Mark pretty good and I think you know my brother. He goes by the name of "Chris" on here. Were you the one asking for the Emperors pin at the poker run lunch?
    Drop by sometime, I will hook you up with one:)

    Yep, that was me. Oh, sure, I know who you are, I just didn't realize you lived around here or that you had that sweet coupe. You'll have to come out to one of the Beggars meetings one of these days. Catch ya around. John

    You can tell from just looking at that car, that the owner drives with one hand on the wheel,the other on a tyre iron and has a switch blade in the back pocket of his Levi's.That car is fuckin' bad ass!:D:D
