Pro-Touring Little Deuce Coupe
 

Here's a few pictures of my 32 3 window coupe which I have always wanted since I was 16 years old when I let one slip thru my fingers because I hesitated on paying $100 for a complete original with all the fenders, etc (1962.....still dream about that moment). Anyway fast forward to today as I finally pulled the trigger on buying one that was build by a professional shop in SF but never finished. It was running and licensed in Ca. but needed to be blown apart to be painted, upholstered, etc. It had a nice 350 SB with a 700R4 and being a Car Crazy Pro-Touring enthusiast, I replaced that drive train with a 2001 Camaro LS1/700R4. It has TCI all stainless front independent susp and the rear is an early Jaguar. It really rides well and drives excellent with the rack n pinion steering. I just enjoy driving it now but will have to eventually tear it down to be painted and finish the upholstery. Notice...I had to go with the 17/20 wheel tire combo as I'm really into larger rims. Today the trend is make them look like they did in the 50's/60's but I actually lived that time frame and remember how bad the steering/susp was at that time so hence I have give it a little pro-touring look and LS1 drive train! It's taken me 2 years to get to this point as I still spend time working on my 55 Chevy and 69 Camaro pro touring project.

Totally awesome seeing that newage power plant through the open hood like that. Im sure no one expects that.

Looks like a fun little hot rod!

Sweet car!

Looks like a real fun little car, love the idea of a PT rod.
Mine's not PT but a bit similar in - TCI front, jag rear, 17's & 20's.
As soon as i bought my coupe, the Nova came off the road and onto the rotisserie for a full dose of PT lovin'.

Have you decided on a colour yet or just drive it until the colour comes to you?

Both of yáll's coupes look great! Good luck with the build as you progress. Do you have any pics of the 55 and the 69?
