Projects Middle school coupe (build)

well folks this is my new project. ive had it for awhile been working on it for a few months when i can. doing a 2x3 frame, sbc 350, channeled 3 inches, its gonna have a bit of a rake to it with a suicide front end. this is gonna be my first build where i dont have to rely on someone else to do the work due to not having the tools or the place to do it. i helped build two of my previous cars. and now its my turn to be in charge. i have been thinking about this car for the past 2 years and now its time!! i know the name sounds kind of corny but it makes sense to me. old school + new school = MIDDLE school! will post progress as i get it. And a big thanks to my good buddy Cody (patches) for all of his time and help.

 

Mock up stage!

 

Looks like a great project.. I like your attitude.. Keep us informed........

 

you have MY ATTENTION!!!!!

 

Great coupe and even better name for the project! Good luck on the build!

 

only advice i can really give, being 26, is have fun building it and more fun driving it. ive had my 57 for 24yrs and am just now getting around to getting it goin. but o well, a few mustangs got in the road. looks like a fun project. good luck

 

Hmm...

 

Started to get the floor ready for the channel and I got my wheels back from powder coater and put the tires on!

 

That's gonna be so freaking sweet

 

Keep it raked like that and it'll look bad ass.

wow ! thanks for all the input fellas. the black wall wide fives were a buddys of mine he let me use them just to lean up there to get the tire size right.

 

Looks like a great start.

 

The start of my sub-rails how many should I do?.

 

Make the reality match the mockup and you'll be right on target. Keep us posted on tjhe progress.

I dig it !

 

dont take this the wrong way,,your original pic you posted looks spot on,,,( i admit i didnt read your original post though) please dont put a goofy suicide front end under it (just my own personal opinion) looks killer with the blackwalls and wide fives...
