Hot Rods Horse Barn A Build on a 32 Frame

After having this sit in my uncle's horse barn for almost 30 yrs. I saw this sitting all these years even as I was a kid. I was given a chance to take it out of storage and give it life again. Here are a few pictures of the day we resurrected the old girl. Be I don't think she know she was going to be turned into a cut hard Bonneville style build.
I'll be posting pics as I move along.

 

Looks to be a good body, you're 1/2 way there already. Is the grill shell there?

 

Looks good looking forward to seeing more progress and pics!

 

Looks like a great start, subscribed.

Interested in the direction your going with paint ? That side shot of body on shop floor has a Wicked "As found" look to it...piss a lil' lacquer on the chop area, my .02, an I don't like yellow

 

How much higher is the front crossmenber after you made this cut? Bob

 

This will be interesting. I like what your doing, Looks like you save her from that shed just in time! THANKS and keep us posted.

hi bob the front cross member is actually lower by about 2 inches, what i ended up doing is bringing the front section of the rain down until it ended level with the rear section

Great start...

 

Nice way to start! Lookin' good, boys;
Turn up the music and ice down the beer.
