It looks interesting and pretty complete compared to what some here started with. What are your plans? Do you know any of the car's history? Oh yeah, Welcome to the site.  :)

   So Brian I take it you picked up more than one coupe  the first one looked like it had the roof chopped off. What with that
   By the way are you on the east coast the west coast the south coast or in between  lol  vette59jdwl

A friend in Carson City runs a shop called "NO Coast Customs".

Well Brian that on looks a bit more "rat" than "old school" but what the heck? It will be interesting to see what you come up with on the new one. Are you going to keep the original engine? I'd like to see someone build a first generation Chevy six. It would surely stand out in a crowd and I believe with the right trans and rear gears would be capable of highway speeds. I think with some head work, a cam, duel carbs, good exhaust and possibly custom pistons it could double it's rated HP. 8)

Hey brian, good to see you found the guys here. Been learning a lot about mine here thanks to the fellows here.

Brian posted some pix on crackbook and rather than listen to goofs I  told him to come talk to the pros

One picture he posted shows a rigid windshield  cowl but it's got roadster doors and a sing out windshield frame laying on the hood.... I  told him to post his Vin tag here to help identify  what it is.
