I know a lot of guys aren't into this kinda stuff on here, but I know some who are. I finally got some progress going on my '32 build and figured I'd share with everyone. The perimeter frame is pretty much squared away now and the suspension is next. The car is getting the Rolling Bones(rollingboneshotrodshop.com) / Bonneville salt flat / El Mirage style stance and suspension and with the help of Ken Schmidt and Keith Cornell (Rolling Bones guys) through email, it's getting there slowly. I got the front end mocked up tonight (don't mind the perch sleeves, they're to locate the spring angle). Overall it's starting to take shape very nicely and hopefully I can get it a roller in the next couple weeks. Here's some shots of it so far and around the shop. The car is getting a DeSoto 291 hemi, so I've stock piled PLENTY of early DeSoto hemi parts. It'll be backed by a World Class T5 for cruising on the highway as rounded off with a Halibrand quickchange rear end. The firewall I have was a butcher job back in the day, badly warped and the bottom was gone, I did my best to get it back into a pretty useable shape, fits the '32 cowl perfectly now. Anyway here are the pics guys!

 

Nice to see your still at it. The other day my dad got word of some guy around here who has a few mopars. So we take a trip to the middle of damn nowhere and I'll be damned dude has about 300-400 60-70 era mopars. I think Imma end up buying a 1970 Dodge Charger from him.

 

Looks like you have a nice clean start. Love the safe are you going to pin stripe the car also?

 

You are so talented. I wish I had skills.

 

Nice.

ugh, I love the whole Rat Rod/Hot Rod thing...

I love how we use to be able to buy a Model A al rusted and complete from a farmers field for $200. I cant find one decent for under 2k now!

 

We have a rust free 28-29 Model A tudor sedan sitting in the storage part of our garage waiting to get built, they're getting harder and harder to find for sure!

 

I am a HUGE fan of 30s Fords, here's a '32 Ford I just finished building. Chopped glass, cut off the fenders and hood sides, lowered it, no hubcaps on the steelies, open headers, real fabric interior.



Good luck with the build and I can't wait to see the outcome.
