Minnesota coupe update

Adam got the chassis package from us this summer.
Steady progress on the 1929 coupe.
6" chop as I remember..1931 visor nice touch.
And it looks like a 3" channel ? 
Got some Firestone cheater slicks.  Keep up the good work buddy ! !
Be sure to send pictures when it's rolling on all 4
mocking up grill to get correct sizing

the slicks are causing the coupe to wheelie !

Dakota Chief Model A gasser update two in a row

Got it off the rollers in back.
Still fine tuning the stance..Might bring the rear up another inch..
And the front will droop down a bit with engine/trans/rad...


wheel well to tire is just a visual trick. It is centered.
Looks like a race car to me !
