My new 5 window coupe

[tiny1]

My new 30 model A 5 window. I know she is rough but i like a challenge. I hope one day it make a nice ride not sure i will ever fit in it but Its what I've always wanted

The funny thing about the deal was my buddy Ron and my wife went with me to look at the car. I knew before going the car was in rough shape i was looking at it i ask my buddy what he thought he seem to thank it was fixable I made the mistake of asking wife what she thought and Wham she told me she wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole! So i told the man it was sold and paid him and now its sit over in the corner of my shop waiting for me to find the wife a ten foot pole

There's plenty there to work with. Nice score Tiny1. From the looks of the rear wheel wells, it sat pretty low sometime in it's past. Congrats on getting the car you've always wanted. When does the build thread start?

 

[cycledog]

Congrats Tiny1. Looks like a fun build.

 

[OptimusGrime]

good luck on the build

 

[Bonehead]

Oh sure, I build a truck, you build a truck, ( you build another truck) I get a 5 window..... you get a 5 window.

I am really looking forward to which way you go on this one. (be sure and look at the 5 window in Gastricks last show coverage.)

Congatulations, I like it!

 

[tiny1]

Good find Tiny looks like you could cut the bottom and leave the lid.

 

[tiny1]

Thanks guys!! I can't wait to get started on it.

Tripper i was at a cruisin and a guy was talking to me about my truck and he asked me did i still have the front clip off my truck i told him yeah and he could have it if he wanted it so we exchanged phone numbers and he came back a little later an we were talking about his projects and he said he had too many.

I asked what all he had and when he got to the coupe i started foaming at the mouth and asked did he want to sale it he said yes. I had to wait a weeks before i could go look at it. A week of sleepless nights lol My wife is all excited about it now because i told her she could have the truck when i got the coupe finished.

Way to go Tiny!! My wife told me when I started on my truck "You can't polish a terd"! Then she came in the garage the other day looked at where I'm at with the build and said "Well maybe you can!!"" I'm sure your wife will turn around!!

Man I've been wanting a coupe since I was in 6th grade!! Wow that was a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago!! Guess I need to come visit your neck of the woods after my truck is done and go coupe hunting! lol I wonder if they make a tree stand for hunting coupe's!! lmao

Happy for ya Tiny!!

 

[hotrod preacher]

looks like a good "project starter"[cl
will be looking forward to a build thread [P[

 

[bob w]

tiny1, With your skill and imagination the coupe will turn out great! Just make sure you leave room for yourself in there, big guy.

 

[tiny1]

Thanks guys! bowatjr6969 thats the way my wife is she don't think they can be saved i already know what it looks like finished she can't see that far lol But she will work right beside me till its finished she is my A# 1 helper. I couldn't do it without her.


Bob I'm worried about that maybe when i get startedon it i want wanna quit working on it and i will loose a couple hundred pounds while building it. I'm pretty sure i want be able to chop it. I thought about adding 5 " in the back.
I hate to add too much in fear of it looking weird.

Tiny1, Great looking car! Do you have a deck lid? I might have one if you don't. I think the one I have is a rumble lid, did they make both? As a fellow "BIG GUY" myself I look at it like this, have you ever HAD to use the toilet in a camper? Well, there! Since it's the car you've always wanted, you'll fit just fine! Post me back on the lid!

 

[Thunder1]

Nice Tiny! I know you'll do a great job on it. Tell Ron hello for me.

Pat

 

[tiny1]
