All good but why ugly paint? You/it deserves better.

 

[jfg455]

That body looks awesome to me! most of mine are a piece here, piece there and a whole lot a "Johnny made ups"! [P

 

[DOUGIEB59]

bits and peices

started dreaming earlier and here are the results so far...

got a I.R.S. sitting under it (with some custom low rolling resitsance tires).

but the body on the frame, just so's i could give it a sit...

 

[Neverdone]

Looks to be off to a good start, but yes, why the ugly paint?

 

[old man dave]

That is an awesome looking body [the cars not yours].JK
I have never seen a car like that so I have to ask what is it?

I have never seen a car like that so I have to ask what is it?

It's a '30-'31 Ford Coupe.

Chop looks right on too. But forget the ugly paint - why the FUGLY rear end? Everything else in the setup sounds good (except the rack & pinion and Mustang tail lights), but leave that rear in the 80's. Yuck...

 

[old man dave]

Thanks for the quick reply B E D. Why does the windshield cowl area look so different? Maybe I need to start wearing my glasses.

1 vote for the Jag rear

Love to watch those axles/inboard rotors turning, i would probably
paint barber pole stripes on them.

 

[Blue Eyed Devil]

Why does the windshield cowl area look so different?

Because the fuel tank/cowl top isn't in place.

 

[jammersspeed]

nice project! i like the jag rear!!!

 

[Sam_Fear]

These colors? I like 'em.

 

[DOUGIEB59]

Pis* yellow/puke green...

I was thinking kinda a more current milners coupe thing, add a rake and a blower, and loose the fenders... [s

 

[DOUGIEB59]

Whitewall/blackwall

Progress is slo... (too many projects/honeydoos...)
managed to uncage the rearend, what a heavy bast*rd! Now the quest is engineering... Trying to figure, stance, rake,wheelbase,engine setback,ride height, and interior configuration... Would welcome any thoughts.
This will be only my second "ground up build" and id rather not learn from my "misteaks".
Thnx d/b [s

these colors? I like 'em.
