andy Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Here's some pics of my 50 Coupe. The pics are of the car being loaded in North Carolina for shipping to NZ. It was an ebay buy and was supposed to be rust free...... it wasn't. Ive had it for about six years and done bits and pieces as time and funds permit. It came with a 302/C4 but it originally had a flathead. Id love to put a flathead back in but it would add another 5-6K to the build. It won't happen over night.. but it will happen!

andy Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Here are a couple of pics of where i'm heading. Im looking at a late 50's - mid 60's mild custom. This basically means low, nosed, decked, mild/stock interior but nothing radical like chopping or sectioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 These arrived last week from North Carolina via L.A. Was just like Christmas only better. Unfortunately the critical inner rockers (sills) have been lost in transit. They are hand formed, made to order and only made every 18 months. They are looking for them. Ill unpack and get pics of the parts this weekend but basically its a bunch of sheet metal and some stainless side trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Engine. 302 Windsor, 30 thou over, mild cam grind with stock heads. Basically its a completely rebuilt stock engine save for some mild porting, over bore and mild cam grind for a bit of character in the idle. I also have a rebuilt C4 to back it up. Wade Engine Reconditioners in Penrose did an awesome job machining the engine at a very good price. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
