    It looks great. Would love to see more pictures. Do you have any extra exterior door handles or know where any are? I am looking to add the handles and hood sides back on my 32.

    Very nice. Thanks for keeping it mostly Stude, & not hacking it like it is/was worthless. Beautiful car, roadster looks like it will be killer. Mostly Stude for that one, too - I hope? Might these show up at the Stude Nats, when it's in South Bend? :D .

    Wow thats nice. Its not common to see a rockne hot rod thats well constructed. Looks way better than the ford beside it with the rear toolbox. I think its a ford anyways. Nice color combo also.

    nice coupe its pretty amazing that you have a coupe and a roadster dad has had his 32 4 door sedan for 25+ years. Not a car you see many of at least around here. I can't count how many times people look at the radiator cap and ask if its a Rolls Royce:p

    The seats are from a triumph t3. They fit just right!

    Tell me the camber is also an optical dilusion?

    Great looking oddball car!

    Camber looks to be from Ford axle/Chevy spindles. Saw a guy bend the 'smile' out of a '34 dropped axle with a similar setup...

    Other than that...This Rockne rocks!

    It looks to be a nice car. I'm not fully buying the optical illusion thing. If so then those pictures should be deleted and the photographer needs a lesson.
    I'd like to see a proper front on and full side on shot of the car to see a true representation of the look.
    That side view with the rear axle appearing way back from where it should be just looks like crap.
