HAA...Thanks I don't feel so bad about my progress anymore, i can definitely relate.

Pictures look great, Nice work. Two thumbs up, looks like a blast. Can't wait to be at this point.

Praise the Lord! (and the state of Tennessee)...I got my title today!!! All I had was the number on the frame.

Haven't updated this thread in a while, I've been busy putting miles on the coupe.

I've had this old S'OK can on the shelf for 30 years and went to use it the other day and it had turned to gel so I found another use for it.





Got the rest of the windows in and made a snap-off top for it.

Pin striping really set it off. Set of vintage style cheaters would look cool. Really turned out nice.

I picked up a set of L78-15 wide whites that are the same brand (Commander) as the 16X6s, I think the proportions are better with the "Big and Little" look.

I agree [cl Like the overflow can and the top too. It just keeps getting better [cl[cl

Looked great as it was, but yes, the new meats look even better! Love the job you did on this, it’s excellent. [cl

oh, life sounds SOO hard, "just putting some miles on the cuope", riding around in arguably one of the coolest cuopes I've seen in a while! Nice work![cl

the new rubber is a good choice as well. I like it!

Wow, looking really good. I will admit I lean a little towards the 16x4's on the back myself, but an awesome car non the less, jealous to say the least.

I like the tire change.

Thank you, thank you, thank you SSOOOOO MUCH for NOT chopping it!

Dear God, but this little coupe has character, by the carload!

Your sense of style, flow and proportion are bang on. Hope you're enjoying your A-Bone and thank you very much for taking the time to share your build with us. [[P

Regards,
Shea

Wow, thanks for the good words guys...I really appreciate it!

good looking car, and i really like the tire change....

now if it was flatty powered i guess i might have stuck with the lil tires, but this puts it in "period-style" with that lil sbc - ya know what i mean?

i like it!![cl[cl[cl[cl

You should come up to our cruise-in in Kingsport...every Friday evening at the K-Mart.

I think I will call this style a "Rough Rod".

I think the new tires definitely finished off the look, the old ones werent bad but a tad undersized...
