Hey Newbomb Turk,

You are correct, the wheels are 14's but here is a little bit more info for you. The wheels are 14x6 (on all four corners of the coupe) with a 5 on 4 3/4 bolt pattern. The back space is 2 1/2 inches but you can get away with using a 3 inch back spacing. The wheels are chevy OEM wheels that have just been reversed. As for the coupe using chevy bolt patterns on all four corners of the car, the front two wheels use a wheel adaptor to bolt to the 1940 Ford drums .

Hey Guys,

Sorry for taking so long to get these photos updated but life does not always go as planned especially when building a hot rod . This summer here in Kansas has been a REAL CRAZY one It seems that all the weather wants to do is rain (very bizarre for July) or worse yet thunder storms! This makes it very hard for me to get any work on the hot rod as most of my work has to be done outside due to a lack of room in my garage . Well anyway here are a few pictures of the coupe now with both 1/4 windows installed. I hope you guys can see the green tint as it took me forever to find this stuff and yes, Milner's 1/4 windows are green. I also painted (rattle canned) the firewall black (semi gloss). I really didn't send much time on this as most of the firewall will not be seen due to firewall insert, Cal Custom goodies and engine but I still wanted it to kinda look as though it had been around for a few years. Next week I am hoping to get the frame work finished and the body sitting on the chassis. I should have pictures of this as I am moving the frame and body to my buddies shop (has plasma cutter) if the weather holds out. Hope you all enjoy the photos!!
