    I'm building a drag race styled 32 roadster. The car is inspired by my father who drag raced all his life. So I thought if he was going to build a 32 roadster, how would he do it? So this is my impression of what I think he might build. 10350435_702107646518393_5141688399602455535_n.jpg 10172636_687539731308518_6123410860412449488_n.jpg 10007257_702626239799867_756889345586122254_n.jpg 10358133_704831946245963_8371625354921775976_n.jpg 1010795_639864342742724_1763496508_n.jpg 1779929_653581444704347_1190797143_n.jpg 10297610_717603864968771_1576843379418603403_n.jpg a2713938045f11e38fba22000a1fb1a7_7.jpg c85b6686168a11e3af4d22000a1fb83a_7.jpg 10426669_719229668139524_4537481453665901935_n.jpg 10442375_712565815472576_6767259276995454828_n.jpg 10557315_730424147020076_5304941508982669792_n.jpg 10494605_730453493683808_7103879552582232584_n.jpg

    Looks like you are on the right track with your build. Nice workmanship! Keep the photos coming.
     
  3. Nice work! You might want the front end up in the air like the old days too. It's going to be a killer Deuce!

    Looks like my kind of build. I gotta say I really like the 4 gear with the blower motor.

    There's a lot of cool stuff in those pics, but I have got to know more about that twisted pipe on the floor in pic # 4

    Its going to be the front spreader bar. It is a solid piece of steel from a oil rig. It's the worm gear from the inside of the drill pipe.

  14. Always good to see a hot rod with a manual transmission, too many automatics in the hobby anymore.

    Looking good I am building a 32 with a pontiac motor and 4 speed. Can't wait to see how you run your clutch linkage.
    Good luck
