Title: Coupe Chop Ideas
Post by: Serious on December 04, 2005 7:57 pm

these are somewhat of what im looking at,  the black car with the red top, is 99% what i want. Or the bottom pic, is a little lower, wich i like.  If im gonna chop it, its gonna get slammed. whats the point of chopping a car only 2 inches?  hehe

=

Whatcha think?

ITs getting the bags, and a v8/auto.   the motor in it is a hot, 250 I6, with a saginaw 4 speed and a 3:42 posi in it.

want something that fits a little better, that motor is like 3"longer than the factory 216 and everythign is too tight. so its geting a smallblock and an auto, mostly just for reliability, and driveability. Might even piece together my Tuned Port setup for it. just for milage/driveability.  Although i do dream about a nice 3x2 setup for it.

but this is the next big project, i need sometrhing that anne can drive easily, till i have the time/money/place to work on her 56 2 door wagon.

A small camper should'nt be a problem, but the T on a car trailer might be.
