Caleb's coupe update

Building a flathead V8 1929 coupe on a double z'd frame
Cool new space to be working in.
I'm jealous
First pictures, the before from before and after..
nice 59AB flathead V8


flatheads LOVE having a T5 behind 'em. Overdrive, and downshifting !
I can envision some fantastic pictures of the coupe going together in here.

Justin's Tudor update

Sent off the rolling chassis in May to SD
Going to be a flathead T5 combo installed.

Justin is considering channeling the body .
I like it on top of the frame. Timeless hot rod look.
We'll see what he decides shortly..

 
body propped up on frame in this picture. His Tudor is 300 times nicer then mine.
