Title: Coupe
Post by: wlspdshop on June 06, 2005 4:05 pm

I am proud to day I got a 31 coupe body on Friday night (a dream come true).  I went to Tom's on Saturday and got a ton of wisdom (Thanks Tom).  So I will be selling the 31 truck cab.  If anyone is interested PM me.  I will check here first if anyone one is interested before putting it on ebay.

I have a good idea of what I want to do.  Tom and I talked and that gave me a lot of ideas.  I am going to keep it as traditional as I can.  I am not sure If I will paint it or just prime it.  A lot to think about.  I did decide to go with 32 rails.  I also am still looking at engine to run.  I may just go with the old SBC for cost reasons and at least get the thing drivable for now.

Ok guys, we talked for 3 1/2 hours. Nailhead, olds, SBC were some of the motors. Chopped, channeled, model A and duce rails were discussed. I didn't tell him how to build it. It's going to be his decision, just tried to give him some ideas.

Travis give me a call when you get the coupe, I'd like to see it.

Sounds good.  I am going to pick it up next Thursday and then Friday morning they guys are all driving down to Back to the 50's.  So when I get back we can take a look.

I love wide whites and old school stuff to much. Nice car though.  31Rodder thanks for letting me pick your brain at Scotty's.
