  1. footage of the first drive! got a bit exited and forgot the fuel tanks bolts. whoops!
    lucky the tank was out of my 5 window and had a 1/4" of bog on the under side so
    no damage:) i have done worse, like starting a fresh motor with no oil when i was 18 :(
    still i just had a laugh fixed my fuel line and drove it to chopped!

  19. Looks like you found the limit. Hope the axles and hubs can be reused.
     
  20. Yeah it was a clean break so both the axle and hub are fine. I think I'll have to be a bit more kind to the old girl (no more clutch dumping):)

    Awesome '32!!! You've managed to keep it as traditional as any I've seen for quite awhile and the fact that it's a genuine '32 body puts it over the top.
