Okay okay! Sheesh! It's a glass body from high boy classics. Chevy 350 (330HP) 700R4 ford 8" rear. It's driver quality that needs some tweekin. It needs interior help bad. Looks like the inside of a 70's boat. Polished P&J front end with unisteer and a chrome posies spring. Out back is a polished 4 bar setup with polished coil overs. Boyd wheels (don't like the raised white letters but the wife does) hell this aint no muscle car son! Power windows and power deck lid. Tilt column and generic white faced gauges. Paint and body work are nice but not Barret Jackson quality. The doors close reeeeeal nice. Can close it with your pinky. Bear claw mini latches and safety pins. Steel hood and grille shell, king bee headlights and an electric fan (pusher). Let see...oh EZ wiring and no heater. That just about covers it. Any questions?? No? Good there will be a test on Monday!

Thanks for the specs and the pics..
You DO, understand what you can do with the test right?!?!?!

Pusher fan? Really, with that A/C and radiator setup? I have that same fan as a puller, and it keeps my '34 temp perfectly stable - even in Texas sun with the A/C on. It looks like a good project, though.

Ya got me it's a puller ( I fat fingered that one sorry bud). Wow I must have been tired when I wrote that. Good catch.

It would seem so wouldn't it. It's not the first time and I'm sure it wont be the last.

I see a lot of potential there!

Nice deuce coupe, but you still have the '34 too, right?

Thanks guy's; yes I still have all 3 (33 Chevy 3 window coupe, 32 ford 3 window, and the 34 tudor). Supposedly the buyer for the 33 chevy will be here in a couple weeks with the cash so I can pay for the 32. On a side note I think I have created a monster! Having an unusual winter here without snow so MaMa got to take the kids out for a spin around the block. In all fairness I did need to get some gas stabilizer into the system. But to chirp the tires on an unregistered and uninsured (for the road) hot rod is just plain irresponsible! I love my wife!!! Today was only the second time ever driving a hot rod and I think she is getting used to it for sure. Ooooh Yea! She IS hooked. She is already telling me what SHE wants to change to make it HERS. And so the fun begins...LOL I have to admit it was kool as hell seeing it go flying down the street. It looks great and sounds great too. She was grinning from ear to ear for about 2 hours after driving it. For me; I'm just happy she finally knows what it's like to drive a hot rod. I have always driven our cars but now she has her own. Like they say "you're not having fun unless you're the one behind the wheel". I suppose I will have to start a thread on her car once we start changing it a bit.

Trying to come up with some door panel treatments. What do you all think? I have a blank one is anyone wants to give it a shot.

Of the three posted I like the last one best..It has a more symetric, light classic feel to it, the first one I like too, I'm guessing you'd Stitch the quilted/padded design verticaly like the second and third ones, in the all white field?

No the first one was left blank for anyone to take a stab at it.

The last one.
