Jim...Looks awesome! Id like to know a little more about the car. I have one, and although not quite as far along, still real close. Heres a pic from basically the same angle.
Looks great, both of 'em!

well I've been moved.
BlueOvalFanatic:
The coupe originally started out my fathers as well. He has owned it since the late 60's. Once he got the roadster he had lost interest in the car and somewhat let it go down hill. He later gave it to me. It is a steel bodied car. We ran the stock chassis for many years with an 8BA flathead. After many long road trips the decision was made to make the change over to late-model running gear. We are located in Tyler, Tx home of Harwood Racing which I'm sure your familiar with some of their cars and chassis they were making. We worked closly with Gary Harwood to build us a chassis to fit the original floor pan. Once we got it home paint it and assemble we wound up with kinda the standard budget route of building. I myself was into latemodel hotrods at the time so I had quite a few parts. The rearend is an 8" ford out of a '66 mustang. Nothing cut just cleaned up brackets welded on for the ladder bar suspension and powder coated. We did have a better 3rd member built with a 3.50 gear and Auburn posi. The transmission is a 700r4 rebuilt by a local shop using a corvette servo and shift kit. The motor is a late-model 350 using the roller cam. The front is a dropped axle using the usual vega steering box and has disc brakes.
Many changes to the car over the years. It had a rumble seat but in later 80's was changed to a truck car. Other than the glass dash for the a/c vents the car is still all original steel. Been tough to try to keep a nice car with time wearing on it but we do our best.

Welcome to CHR, Jim. That sure is a nice looking pair you and your Dad have!! A steel 5 window that has been in the family that long I would imagine is just about priceless. Hope you enjoy your time here, the cars are great !!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Good to have her home finally, still need to go back and give her another polish after messing with the engine stuff. Made it up to Idaho. Also a local show.
