    Thumbs down

    Sorry Crowie no pictures, my legs haven't been that steady of late so staying out of our 5" snow.
    The nice thing about Alabama snow storms is the next day or so it will be 45 or so and the snow is puff gone, thank you very much.
    Having been born and raised around the great lakes I know about real winter weather and have VERY LITTLE USE FOR IT.

    That bonnet looks way to short for 2 motors. Beautiful work by the way.

    Question

    On ward and up ward, me thinks?

    Trying to make up my mind if I want the front wheels before the radiator or out front, if it's out front I will need to make some kind of suspension with springs I would think, any votes one way or the other would be appreciated.

    Certainly taking shape now love the grill. The great thing about a build like this you can make it up as you go and it still will look good as all your builds do.

    I'd be inclined to have the wheels out the front with beam axle and radius rods similar to this Attachment 425850. Front mount could be like thisbeam axle. mount. gif.jpg
    Another change that I'd do is to make the front wheels about half the width of the rears, making it look more "Hot Rod" like, just my thoughts though.
    Looking good.

    You have my train of thought on this build KB, these aren't the wheels for this build just some proof of concept wheel I made awhile back.
    I made a coupe a year or so ago and used the tyre set up like you mentioned.

    The springs and axle as KB suggested. Here's a photo off the suspension on the Bucket HotRod I made earlier this year. John.

    I used your pictures for inspiration on this build but with this coupe I feel like the wheels need to be under the radiator, I guess it's more of a rat rod than hot rod. lol

    Figured out the frame.
    The frame still needs to be shorter but want to figure out a bumper first.

    Now on to the front end.

    Next glue on the roof and sand sand sand.

    I like the little one you did in The blog about the other coupe. That's RADICAL.
    You're right, looking at it with the wheels in front of the radiator, doesn't quite look right.
    But I LOVE the whole thing.
    Does it really need a bumper??? I reckon they look cool with out a bumper.
    I'm now inspired to do one similar, after I get the Trucks, trailers, etc out of the way.
