That was my car. As of right now I plan on running the flathead, lower the rear end and put a dropped front axle in it. Also install merc skirts...

Too low for the street.
It's a bummer that the grounds didn't have the cool vibe of Grundy but what are you going to do? Success and traffic congestion forced the move....
Welcome from Kenosha.
Whats the problem?The original frame looks good. The guy did such a shitty job that he didn't butcher it. The body looks to be in good condition...
God knows I'm still recovering. Third shift last night was a real exercise in survival. I sure could use another one of those Symco showers with...
Can't go wrong with Redneck or Wescott. Stay away from the cheap stuff. I had a 34 from Outlaw that was also very good but don't know if they make...

Great story. It's the times you break down that you meet the best people and have the best times. My buddie's car broke down twice that day. The...
