next project found
After spending a year and a half making this car, I sold it to an offer I couldn't refuse.
I found this car last week and will drag it home on a trailer on Saturday. It looks much nicer than it is, but there is very little rust and the electrical and suspension, interior are all redone. All it needs is motor, paint and body.

Yeah I have a 1930 Model A but I really haven't started doing anything to it... I am still not quite finished with the Stang ya know, plus time has been a bit of a crunch lately... but soon enough....
SJ 66Coupe, I was gonna tell you that I will see what I can do about putting together another glove box for you, All the toold I used to make it are in Arkansas and I am heading back to NM tomorrow so it may be awhile before I get back to it... but I will see what I can rig up when I get home... hardest part is not having a bending machine there everything else is pretty simple...
I also just bought this little project, I don't think I am gonna do much to it other than drive it though!

TX,
It was originally all red, the black sides were added by the last owner. It looks like the two tone is a common paint scheme. I am inclined to do it in all black, but will probably chicken out and keep it red.

A small block swap would be fun, but I think its cooler to keep it with what its supposed to have.
It does look cool in black. What about one of those cool dark greens? If you keep it red are you going with one color? I hope so. The two tone paint schemes only look good on certain cars.

This will never be a show/collector car as it has been modified too much already. So, my goal is to create a realiable, fun car that I can enjoy and looks stunning. My plan is to keep this car long term (as was the case with the GT350 clone) and if I do, put a nice old school 289 / toploader 4 speed in it. Some hacking would need to happen to the trans tunnel, so I am going to wait a while before I decide if this is something I really want to do.
British Racing Green is a great color too:
I also love the two tone / fold down window on this 100/4
