    i dont have a problem with some one that knows something i dont showing me a trick or two. i work with people that have been wrenching as long as i have been alive. i get tricks from them. and i help them when i can. the problem i have is when you ask for help and people give you attitude for asking.

    yeah this is awesome cause i got what i was after in the long run. but i had a great idea on a frame build last night. so my idea has changed a little. still going to use 32 frame rails.....well kinda. ill post it when ever i build it. i think its going to look very differant.... and not in a bad way. well maybe not for some of you on here.

    The guy is just looking for a little advice on a cars stance and you start this foolish crap busting on him. Find something better to do, who needs this childish crap.

    Cleaned up... a few folks banned... a few folks slapped around.

    It's real simple fellas. We don't tolerate drama. Wanna name call? Go some place else... I don't really care how long you've been on the HAMB or how bad ass you are. This isn't grade school.

    Heck yeah. I suck at photshop so I'll give you some thoughts. Ribbed roof from a Caravan or Suburban, no chop but channel it about 3 inches, '32 rails and a nice healthy flathead and some shiny paint.

    yeah im going to fill the roof. i want to chop it 4in with no section. i want to show the 32 rails. since i love the look of a A on a 32 frame. but i do want the car to sit low. and forgive me if some one doesnt like this but a ford 300 straight 6 with a true 4 speed and a winters rear end will be the drive train. im a straight 6 guy. got a 235 for the 39 chevy and a 250 that is getting a 194 head swap in my 82 chevy. i know it will never be a flathead but i just love the look and sound of a nice built 6.
