    Very cool. I like how the floor was done. What kind of dash is that? I still can't decide if I want to use 35 wires or 16" steelies.

    Thanks for posting this. Love the stance and the dash. You got my creative juices flowing...
     
  21. thanks! chop or no chop that is the question I am asking everybody now. Thinking 3" chop if I do it. Personally I like it either way. what's your opinion?
     
  22. Blackboard Hotrods in Bakersfield, Ca. has the best price I have found for the '32 frame. The workmanship is fantastic as well.

    I'm faced with the same problem. I love that stock look, but the chop looks so mean. Right now I'm doing NO chop, but if you ask me tomorrow I might tell you otherwise. If you did the chop, 3" would be my choice as well.

    My 31 Tudor (in my profile pic) becomes a roller next week once I get the rear spring I need for the stance I'm going for. I'm using the Model A frame for now. (Plans of switching the body to a 32 frame in a couple years.) I would like to try 2 different springs, a reverse Model T with some springs missing or use a flat rear crossmember with a 35-48 spring mounted behind the rear end axle.

    BTW here's my WANTED AD incase anyone reading has either spring I need.
