Starting the build of Coupe #420

[michael everson]

Just recieved a Customers Coupe last night. It really has very little work completed. I will be checking whats done and removing a couple of things that will be changed. I will update this thread with pictures and info as I move along. Please note this car will be a track car so no frills. I will build it with the thinking that someone might want to use it on the street, so it will have all working lights, horn, directionals etc. I will wire it for heat and wipers, but it will have neither. Here are a few pictures of what I am starting with.

Finally found some time to pick away at the Coupe. I spent most of the weekend drilling all the aluminum that I could. Also mounted most of the front suspension and steering.

This Coupe will have power brakes. I have psoted some of the pictures of that install.

Here is the power booster with one of my Custom Spacers installed.

Here are some pictures of the final install of the aluminum. I cut the trunk floor in half to aid servicing the tank if ever needed.
