Thread: 32 Coupe Bodies

Tweet

I'm not saying it will work, or that it can even be made right, but as far as getting a coupe body mounted on that old pro-street chassis the way Duane does his body assembly it would have the best chance of anything out there. With the frame level he bolts the floor panel to the frame, then brings the body down into position and glasses them into a unit. Once the body is in place and dry, the door outers are grafted to the inners, setting tight gaps. That said, if Duane says you'd be better off starting with a new chassis you can take that to the bank. He knows his stuff, and I'd trust him completely.

Can you explain what it is that you're end project is going to be? Are you focused on a pro-street machine, with inset tubs and huge rear tires mounted on a narrowed differential? If that's not what you're building then you've taken a bad first step buying the old TCI ProStreet frame. There are a ton of compromises made for a ProStreet car, and it's destined to be a trailer queen as opposed to the car you drive to and from distant events, IMO. Explain to us how you came to have the chassis, what your plan is, and what your dream machine is going to look like when done. Otherwise the comments are going to continue to be scattered like a sawed off shotgun pattern.
