What year is your coupe CJsteak?
I would think a coupe would be cool done similar to the Gabby Garrison car.

Here are some pics of Gabby Garrisons, I believe these pics were taken around 1932-33

Here is Iskys 24', it originally had a hopped up banger but was converted in the winter 38-39 to the OHV converted V8.

Do you have some pics of that car with the fenders?

This is supposed to be the copy of Gabbys car. I think CJsteaks coupe would look good done like this.

Dont believe there is any brake on the front.

He raced Clark Gable with this car....notice the cut down body behind the driver...


An inspiration for what I hope to build....

SUHRsc,
Estes roadster is one of the best looking full fendered cars. Great car to pick for inspiration! Great start with your parts collection!
How much was the back cut down? Doesn't look like much.

Zach.....Your roadster is shaping up well, I remember the before pixs. Great job.

I'm not sure how much the body is cut down on Estes' car..
MY plan is about half way between stock and horizontal...
With the gas tank moved into the turtle deck(it fits) you can get the seat real low!

* thanks t-head

Zach,

The T looks great!

Have you heard from Coaltown Kid lately? Just checking in on him from time to time... wondering if the new Fordbarn threads might jumpstart some activity from him. That sprinter he was working on was fantastic- hate to see him stall out!

Thanks, Bill

I don't know of any original pics of gabbys car with the fenders on it, I think those two are the only ones in circulation on the web.
