Projects French Winter project /'32 roadster

Hi all

I found my Winter project
I bought a 32 châssis with 9" Ford rear axle and a dago drop I-beam on the front
'42 Ford spindle with full '40 Ford brake
4 16" Ford 40 wheels
Fiber glass roadster '32 body

I have my 303 rocket with tri power intake and a 3 speed trans of corvette '58

Avec un kit d'adaptateurs de transmission

 

Great start to a great build!!!!!!

 

For the front end i will want a braided frame look like "rolling Bones "
But I don't know if i do a classic front end (leaf above I-beam ) or a suicide front end

Anyone know what is the distance between the firewall and the I-beam on "rolling Bones" frame look like the '32 roadster 232 ?

 

What IBeam size they use ? 46" or 48"

 

From what I have seen they tend to use original Ford axles. The early beam axles are 50 1/2” and the ‘37 tube axles that they also prefer are 48 1/2 inches.

 

IMO... find out what your local rules are before you cut anything off the original frame...
now is the time !
years ago a buddy's brother said when in France he couldn't legally change the tire size, front or rear...
best of luck to you...

 

Hahaha !! I don't Make my choice with the law

Legal or illégal, i does any one care

Thanks for your caution

 

I see the article on rolling Bones châssis
I know they use a 109,5 wheels base but I don't know where they position the front member compared the firewall
