Well,now I feel it's time to tell about my project as it's starting to look like a car, finally.
It's been a long and hard way,but now I see the light in the tunnel. -Guess a lot of you know what I mean.
-Found a 31 coupe body from Texas on Ebay that was chopped 4 inches. The body is now mounted on a 32 frame.Engine and tranny are smallblock Chevy and 3spd.manual,Chrysler '489'rear axle,-33 Plymouth 16"wire wheels.
If someone from 'over there' would send a comment to a lonely hot rod-builder in cold Norway,-that would light up my day.:)

Thanks for answering me,folks. I live on the north-west coast of Norway,not far from the town Alesund.
The small-block I'm using is a 350 long-block crate bought from Summit. It's rated at 290 hp.
In the beginning of this project I wanted a flathead,but found them too exotic for my wallet.-Then I was thinking-What did hot-rodding used to be about ? -to build something out of what is easy to find and affordable.. And with that in mind I ended up with a Chevy engine...and then I could put to use the 3 speed man.trans That was bought many years ago and never used.
(let'see if we have a pic of the engine too).
