Next project-just bought 58 Kellison J5 coupe

[john chesnut]

I've been looking for a new project. My cobra is done. My original Spyder is done. Those are both roadsters. Now I want a coupe with all of the creature comforts!
You guys have helped me out alot in deciding on the next car to do. Thanks Tommy for suggesting the Kellison J5 coupe. I fell in love with it right away and thought that I could do some custom body work, use one of my frames with new C6 Corvette drivetrain and suspension. I found an abandoned project with a great body on a custom frame with C4 Corvette suspension and custom wheels and tires. The car is an unfinsihed roller.
I plan to add fender flares, make the front end a full tilt, change the windshield from Studebaker flat glass to curved glass, I think make the doors gull wing, and maybe some other changes. we'll see how it goes.
