New JBL Coupe Build

[951mat]

just the pic posted before by GMS with the front windshield in. No more with glass. Should have the rear hatch mounted soon. Side windows are about done, not sure if he'll mount tinted windows before he paints or not. Probably will to get some nice pics here on CC. He should have the window track Monday to mount in the window frames too.

When I get my cobra up and running I'll get some pics side by side.

Got to take it for a nice little cruise last week. Drove very nicely, really didn't test anything, just putting around. Sounded awesome though. Looks awesome going down the road too. Larry is doing a great job. Gaps are perfect, lines are perfect. Can't wait to see it painted. Well on to the pics. I don't think I posted these yet.

Man that thing looks good! Nice ass too!

You mean you didn't juice the gas even once?

[Clois Harlan]

He told me it scared him!

I hope he post pictures today of the Coupe. I understand it is in a nice classic color.

I like hearing the stories. You guys wouldn't believe how bitter sweet it is to build a hoss-cat of a motor for someone and never get to experience the horsepower myself.

E track works good with tire webbing for trailer tie down, any provisions for a tow back?

I was a little scared. Larry told me a cop lives on the street we were going up and down on, so I took it easy. Its a little scary with no mirror, signals, fiberglass rear hatch, liscence plate etc. I rolled into it enough to know that goosing it would greatly increase chances of finding the ditch. Larry drove it once and goosed it. I think he was staring at a ditch for a split second before he straighted it back out. Brent, the HP you put into that motor, goosing it in any gear lower than 3rd may be a dangerous idea

JBL Coupe Test Drive - YouTube


Lets see if this works. Sorry, I wasn't blasting around the curve at 90 mph. Give me a couple weeks. I'll get some nice video then.

Love the meatballs...

[951mat]

I love me some meatballs too. I'll have a guy here in Tulsa hand lay some black pinstripes to set off all the stripes and meatballs. I don't want the car to be tooo inconspicuous

Larry Goins is doing an incredible job putting all this together. Wait till u all see the fit and finish on the body seams,custom ac/alt brackets, electric smoked windows, dry sump plumbing(well u won't see that bc of the belly pan), and robust roll cage with removable bars across the top of the door (to protect my hair when driving on the street), and future rear diffuser of course. I think you'll agree with me that he's an excellent fabricator.

I can't wait to photo it sitting on all fours in all it's low slung glory, hopefully next week.

Awesome Mat (and Larry). Hope you make the Tulsa Ford/Shelby show, have JBL Motorsports contact info at the ready

[951mat]

I hope we make it to the Ford/Shelby meet too. I paid to drive on saturday, sure hope its ready. Larry is working overtime to say the least to get it ready. Had some setbacks but he's fighting through them. Today he hopes to install dash and finish driver door/power window install. If he does I think he'll have it about licked. Rest of interior should go in relativey easily on Monday/Tuesday. Here's pics with driver window installed and rear glass as well.

Like the way you opened the wheel well up for the tank. What number you gonna use?

[Clois Harlan]

I hope you make it too!

Mine is next and the sooner Larry finishes yours the sooner he can get my chassis to me. I have EVERYTHING staged waiting so this should be a pretty good gauge for assembly time. My start date was April 22, 2013.
