I HATE the crossbreading within the big 3!!! Ford stay ford, chevy stay chevy and mopar stay mopar! I walk away from cars at shows when I see a "355" in it!!!!! I associate that extra 5 a insecurity and wishing they had more! Anyways, the 33 will be getting a 440 with indy heads and roller cam. Engine is a lil over kill but should be fun. (It has went 10.30s in a 3200lb car. I am using a 35 ford straight axle with the transverse spring, think they look good on open Wheeled car. Still checking into using a 4spd. Don't know for sure what to do for pedal/linkage.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I had an old 34 coupe that was in very BAD shape. All I've used from it was the top of the quarters panels. The back of the roof from belt line up is the back of the sedan. I chopped top 3in and rear window 2 1/4in. Spent more time figuring cuts then actually working on it. Goin to tub it slightly so about a 1/3 of the tire is under car on front of tire. Of course more will stick out rear as the body gets narrower towards rear. Tires are 32x17.50x15s on 14in wide wheels.

I certainly appreciate what it will take to get it where you want it. Out of the ordinary is awesome in my book! Keep the pics coming. Arno

But the lowwer rear of body had been cut out to put a wire winder ran off of driveshaft. It was one of those farmer deals. Reason I did this, sedans are cool but coupes are [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]'N!!!!!! Just my opinionion. Open wheel sedans don't do anything for me.

I thought that too but check these out below I kind of wish you did the sedan as a sedan, as I really need the back half of a coupe. I have one that is in great shape except they cut the back out to put a PU bed in the trunk area, your bad coupe would have been a great doner to fix mine. anyway like I said before great job....... sure you dont want to make a Cabriolet with a lift off roof? like this
