Black Firewall & Green 1/4 Windows
Hey Guys,
Sorry for taking so long to get these photos updated but life does not always go as planned especially when building a hot rod ;). This summer here in Kansas has been a REAL CRAZY one :eek: It seems that all the weather wants to do is rain (very bizarre for July) or worse yet thunder storms! This makes it very hard for me to get any work on the hot rod as most of my work has to be done outside due to a lack of room in my garage :CRY:. Well anyway here are a few pictures of the coupe now with both 1/4 windows installed. I hope you guys can see the green tint as it took me forever to find this stuff and yes, Milner's 1/4 windows are green. I also painted (rattle canned) the firewall black (semi gloss). I really didn't send much time on this as most of the firewall will not be seen due to firewall insert, Cal Custom goodies and engine but I still wanted it to kinda look as though it had been around for a few years. Next week I am hoping to get the frame work finished and the body sitting on the chassis. I should have pictures of this as I am moving the frame and body to my buddies shop (has plasma cutter) if the weather holds out. Hope you all enjoy the photos!!

Graffiti Rear End / Traction Bars
Hey Guys,
I figured I better post something to show you all that I am still working on this coupe. I have been setting the coupe at ride height to tac weld the traction bar setup to the rear end. At the present time I am still to high in the rear (by 3 inches) so I have to take out the springs to get them De-Arched AGAIN. That's right I said again. I have already De-Arched the rear spring 3 inches and after getting everything installed it still needs more :CRY:.
The one thing that makes this coupe is the stance (or at least in my book) so it is VERY IMPORTANT to make the car sit just right. The Traction Bars should have a pretty good angle running down hill to the doors. These on this coupe will do that once I get the spring problem taken car of as this is how I welded the traction bar set up to the rear end. So PLEASE take note when looking at the photos the traction bars do run down hill but they will have the proper angle once I get the springs back from the shop. Once all this headache is taken care of I will be putting in the boxing plates and then getting the chassis ready for paint :3dSMILE:. Hope you enjoy the photos!!
