    Unfortunately its a 235 at present, however, there's enough room for a jimmy, when I get sick of playing with 235/261's.

    Now thats it's back in your shed get working on it, I want to see this on the road soon.
    You probably want to see it on the road sooner I bet.

    Nope, its a fabbed chassis made out of 6x2" tubing.

    It will just fit onto a 32 chassis, but oh shit its tight. This way there's plenty of room for the mill to grow....... Bluto is trying to talk me into a long motor ;)

    @Stovebolt did you get a chance to get this Blue Flame going? I just discovered this thread...

    @Stogy Alas I never did get this car going. I got into some "issues", parted it out, and have started again, collecting all the parts I wish I had when I started this project.

    And that has been a long and expensive undertaking. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and work will commence soon on a replacement car using all original components and aftermarket parts from back in the day.

    Stay in tuned, but don't hold your breath.

    No problem Stovebolt...I easily adjust to builds. I am no speedy gonzales myself oh and then there's life.

    Still a Model A & six banger in the forecasted future?...you truly had a very cool Hotrod on the go...Hope all is well otherwise...and yeah bring it on when your ready...;)

    With a handle of "Stovebolt" could I run anything else???

    I will post pictures as soon as I have made some decent enough progress that will entertain readers, and not just be a few pictures of a bunch of parts
