Default New Project - '48 Coupe!!!

In a strange effort to thin the herd and actually finish a few projects, a mutually beneficial trade with my uncle landed me this super solid '47 coupe on Saturday.

Plans call for a hot SBC, bags, and big wheels. I can't wait to get started.

Just to update (& to piss off the masses )....

The Street Rod Nationals resulted in a complete Ride Tech suspension kit with 4 link for the rear, Haywire wiring kit, and 17" & 20" Coys wheels.

Awesome!!!!

You driving to Shades Harrison? Just kidding, looks like a great project. I too like the look of those wheels on it. Hope to see you at the Forge.

Guess I can update with the (barely) HAMB-friendly bits & pieces....







Nothing else really fits in here.
