Thread: Project American Graffiti Coupe

Tweet

Hey Guys,

Sorry I have not posted on here in a LONG TIME but the guy I am building the Graffiti Coupe for has not had the money to keep the project going so I have been a bit of a stand still with the project. Once the project is back up and going I will start up my post again.

In the mean time I found out that a New Age Motorsports Body (maybe chassis) made into the AACA (Antique Auto Club of America) Museum in Pennsylvania. I thought this car had a Graffiti type flair about it so I wanted to do a small post on it. The coupe looks like it just rolled out of the 50's and right into the Museum. Now here's the thing I don't understand (just one of the things in my life....LOL). Aren't these cars that go into this Museum supposed to be original steel???? If so someone over there was fooled by the curve ball big time. But then again I know first hand how the NAM bodies fool people as it happend all the time when I was taking this project to car shows........ I guess in the end we really do end up what we pay for..........

Anyway here is the coupe and the name of the owner is Dick Railing. I pretty sure he is one HAPPY GUY at this point with the coupe!

That's rich that the AACA may not realize their display car is glass On your project, I guess I had missed the fact that you were building that one for someone else. Thought it was going to be yours

Don't feel bad, the economy got me and I'm out. Can't do no more. All that money & time invested, Gonna take the kick in the pants and sell mine for whatever I can get out of it. I really hate to, but sometimes ya just got to do what you got to. I'll list it under parts... Sad...
