    Just found your channel. Cool stuff. Your 30 coupe is sweet. Driving old hot rods is a driving experience some people will never understand. Not the safest or very practical for the mega family minivan drivers but they check all the boxes in the connection the operator has with the road and just the overall feeling of freedom they provide and the owners self expression and personal taste. They are NOT for everyone...and that's a good thing.

Anyways, going to get a new frame for the foundation and cut the bed between 20 and 22 inches. That eight foot bed is to long. I'm keepin the flathead though going with a 5 speed t5. 4" drop axle in the front and putting the rear axle on top of the springs. Wish me luck brother.

      I guess it depends on how the car is built and the drivetrain. But on average is say 1700-2000 pounds. Maybe higher with all the “fixings”.
      The 30 coupe cab get out of control quick if you’re not careful.
