Noob from WV with a 40 ford coop

[niterunner71]

Hi from WV. This is my first post. I am currently building a 40 ford coupe. Pics included.

Welcome to the site. Nice car.

Welcome to RRR! That looks great!

Welcome aboard! What kind of look are you going for with your '40 ? Looks like it has a bit of a 'Gasser' flavor to it [dr

 

[niterunner71]

sorta like a gasser sorta like a moonshine hauler, and i got alot of inspiration from the early drag race pics you see in mags like ht rod deluxe the ones from the mid and late 50s with the flagman. it will have wide whites and cheater slicks most likely with chrome reverse rims, early SBC ('57 283 to be exact) power, 4 speed and 9 inch rear. i went back with a stock buggy spring front end with a stock (non dropped) axle and a reversed eye spring so i hope it sits kinda like a moonshine car. i could go on and on but those are the basic elements...

If it's a WV car it may well have hauled a little 'shine' in it's day! [ddd

I'm liking it already.....[P[P[P

 

[niterunner71]

i originally planned on chrome rev wheels with wide whites but now i am thinking more about black wheels with blackwall tires[ddev
