    City: Jefferson

    State: Georgia
    Price: $2500
    I picked up a bunch of pieces to build a second Nostalgia Altered alongside my '27 Altered Hot Rod Deluxe magazine project.
    Unfortunately, before I could get the chassis built for the Bantam, my chassis guy won an all-expenses paid vacation from the State of Georgia for the next 5-15 years.
    I've got my hands full with other projects, and hunting down another chassis guy and going through all that again just doesn't seem worth it at this point--I'd rather take the time and money and finish my Widow Wagon gasser.
    It doesn't look like a lot, but this is EVERYTHING you'd build the frame around, so it really IS, actually, a lot.
    Body
    - Fiberglass, uncut '32 Bantam roadster body. No cracks or repairs.

    Rear End
    -
    Narrowed Ford 9-inch rear, 33-inches backing plate to backing plate.
    - Shortened 28-spline axles, long studs installed.
    - Drum brakes and loaded backing plates.

    Front axle assembly by Ron Pope Motorsports
    -
    Front tube axle by Ron Pope Motorsports, with 7-degrees of camber built in to the kingpins.
    - New front leaf spring.
    - Hairpins
    - Tie Rod
    - Steering arms.
    - All heim joints and clevises to mount front axle
    - New Speedway Motors Chevy spindles, king pins and hardware.
    - Front Axle Mounting Perch (suicide-style)

    Reversed Corvair Steering Box
    -
    New bearings and seals. It got trapped in a closed plastic bin during a VERY high humidity spell, and looks like hell, but it's a fresh rebuild (done for a Hot Rod Deluxe article)
    - Ron Pope Motorsports center steer kit

    Wheels
    -
    15x10 ET IV rear, unilug pattern. Lips around back side are chipped and broken in several places, but the wheels aren't bent and they hold air. It's the lip, not the bead area. Can be repaired, or make it up with wheel balance weights.
    - 3.5x15 Fenton Gyro Ford pattern fronts. Excellent condition.

    $2,500.
    Front axle assembly, hairpins, spring mount and center-steer kit were over $1,200 alone.

    For another $150, I'll throw in a '76 400-inch big block Chrysler and short 727 trans (both will need to be rebuilt)
