Default Just an old Ford!

I have not been visiting here too much lately because I have been busy with my new project....

It is not a Mustang, but it is a Ford if that makes it more palatable!

It will be 351/408 powered....

My deadline is May 15th, we have been hitting it hard for the last couple of months....

Any thoughts?

Looks like you've done a lot. Nice work. I see the earliest picture is a new chassis. Can you buy one of those or did you have to make it?
Flame paint?

Nice.
What are the plans for the finished appearance? Retro? No billet schit right?
'39-'40 Ford Coupes are some of the prettiest designs ever. Truly timeless. I like the stance and the fact that you're keeping it Ford powered.

That's a great car. I don't know what way you plan on going with it but I love that distressed look on those old Ford's.
