700 miles r/t and it was only noisy 1/2 the trip
Less than 1000 miles on the clock, just needs paint and guts. Very Hi $ build.
has a grouse stance from behind!!
Looks like a 2-3" channel......
Good eye Bob, 2 1/2 in rear, 2 in front
It doesn't take much of a view to tell that IS a high-end build. Amazing detail on the chassis. BTW, there are a LOT of parts on that chassis that I recognize. It looks very Pete and Jakes to me. Glass body?
Yep it glass Jack,
N&N body all Pete and Jake's parts on the chassis
don , i have the solution . mount an air compressor on the trailer and shoot them on the way home . saves time on unloading ....... :)
Or cover everything in Vasaline that I don't want color on, put you in the back of the pickup and you throw paint @ it until we get 50 miles from home, then it'll by the time we get home. Kool idea Shine.Quote:

Headlights will stay right where they are 4 sure on that $300 bar. The body will be the BMW RED same as all else and Black dead cow guts, if I don't sell it the way it is. Have a few already interested in it the way it is MarkQuote:

Don, nice purchase! I bet it doesn't last long at all.
Rear are 285 70 15 (31" tall) on 15 x 10's
It is 4 sale as is for about 3000 less than the parts would cost.
Took it out 2day and put about 100 miles on it. 1 fantastic car.
Don, exactly the same size as on my '34. Are they Coker repops of the Goodrich T/A's? Just asking, because if anything happens to my originals, no one will work on them.Quote:

Wow, I like the new revel line ending like that. Is this the first of a trend that will take off State Side. The way you work the car will be painted before anybody has time to hit the " Buy Now " button. Although shiny paint and trim will finish the car to your normal high standard resulting in another quick sale at top dollar.
N&N hood, Don? Just thinking maybe you picked one up at Duane's when you went to get the car.
Nope Roger, Duane doesn't make a hood.
Rolled it out myself and did the revel with my bead roller
See post #21
That's nice work Don! So we can blame you for all the 32's everywhere now? :LOL:
Only 175 or so. In the past 20/22 years RyanQuote:

No, not bad at all. What are your plans for the firewall?
OG's as in original Goodrich's or another brand? Also looking for that T/A look for my truck!
I asked earlier. Don said that they're originals. Sadly, they are no longer available except for Coker re-pops. The "big 'n little" look isn't as simple as it used to be - at least with 15" wheels.Quote:

Your soooo correct Jack.Quote:
