They say that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions and this project may just toast my ass for all eternity.....
I've always wanted a Bonneville/dry lakes-style coupe...so I'm going for it. Not quite the Pierson Bros, the SoCal racer, the Poteet car, the Rolling Bones, or the 'Whiskey Runner', but in that sphere of influence. I recently bought a '35 Ford 2 door sedan body and frame and the idea is to make it into a 3 window coupe with a heavy chop, laidback 'A' pillars, fenderless, traditional highboy style, Olds powered, tall skinnys on wide fives, '38 Ford rear axle w/bones, bare interior, and best of all, a bare metal body (well maybe a satin clear to preserve it). Selling the fenders, running boards, spare tire carrier....
Parts are beginning to accumulate:
Body and frame -'35 Ford
Engine -1958 Olds 371
Transmission -3 or 4 speed (unknown, as yet)
Front axle -4" dropped Chassis Engineering axle
Replacement grille:
Cleaning up the replacement grille (badly pitted) and stripping the tin:
Sorry, no pics of the wide fives, as yet.
Oh my....it's getting warm in here already.....
