    Figure8 - The truck arms on my coupe are not readily visible unless you get down on your belly, so they would be a non-issue visually. I make them from 2 x 3 tubing and similar to the ones used in NASCAR. The big advantage to them is they provide good bite when "launching" plus they are really strong. The 4-bar system would provide just as nice ride and only the bottom bar would be visible on each side, which is common on fenderless Deuce roadsters and coupes. I have done both multiple times in the past, so I think it comes down to nothing but preference. I'll make a decision soon...

    40FordDeluxe - Here's a snapshot of the Merc right after we finished the temporary paint job. We did the satin black so we can easily spot it in as we do the bodywork on it. It has some cracked welds around the rear side windows, some holes to fill where the dummy spots used to be, the front fenders are sagging a bit which makes hood fitment impossible, and there are a few dings in it that we'll straighten. Right now my son's plan is to paint it dark purple metallic with green and white flames and scallops. Of course that could change by the time we get that far.
