I'm thinking of putting my Early a model tudor on 32 rails, channeling it half way over the frame to keep the 32 style line visable and sweep up the cowl sides to match the front curve of the style line... Does any one hav pictures of such a thing??? Any pics would be grately appreciated MS
Thats it!! wow thats a nice 32 modified!!, We dont see too many 32s done that way down under.. Thats what i was picturing in my head just with my 28 body and swept up cowl sides. Thanks MS
I was thinking about doing this. I believe that Josh's (TUDOR) '32 is channeled only partially. I think it looks so rad!! I haven't found examples of them doing it back in the day but it's rad and you should do it!!
Josh I noticed that after we got home from the show. I was wondering what the hell makes your cars sit so awesome and then I stumbled on the channel. I was like BINGO!!!!! They way you did it, visually slims the profile but doesn't hammer the car so low it looks slow ya know? Awesome job and it's one of my favorites!
SUPERSTOCKGALAXY, you have it there with the upsweep on the sides! nice pickup JefferyJames, I know what you mean, i havn't been able to find any from back in the day done this way but, most of the time everything has already been donee by someone some where ant some point so i'lll do it... that and the rest of my tudor project will be very 60s inspired Slddnmatt, I have never seen VooDoo Larrys coup from a low angle, i did know it was on a 32 chassis but never knew why.. i do now!! Thanking all of you for the help to find some of the pics Aaron MS
Oldebob has a 27 roadster, phil weiand had a '27 roadster, and i have a 27 roadster i'm doing, all chaneled around 2" on 32 rails
Some other things that are different are that the wheelbase is only 104" and the body is forward a couple inches. I've only got 30" between the cowl and the shell.
Here is a pic of the tudor i am going to do this to, I picked up the Genuine 32 chassis from a mates dad Tony Kuchel, ... just happened to have them up on his loft and didn't suit his current project as this chassis has been lopped off afer the rear kick... SCORE for me
Here's my 30 Tudor Sedan on original '32 rails. Channeled 1" at the back, 2" at the front and lower front swept up to fit in with the line of the rails. Works for me! Talk to Mel (Dirtyest Devil) at Ye Ole Choppe Shoppe. Martin
Interesting thread... Gary Martin... that's a very nice channel, my favorite so far here. Superstock... NICE looking truck.
Hi Bob its a 351, from a Fairmont here in Oz, Curious to know if any one knows of some nice intake manifolds available in America for them? Cheers Aaron MS
If you're looking for a new one Summit or Jegs probably has what you need.Maybe Ford Motorsports? Is it a Cleveland or Modified block? A Modified intake is wider because the deck is taller.
Cant believe I missed this one. Here's Jalopy Kids' old car. Among the nicest I've seen. Tudor's is pretty bad ass! TUDOR, how much of a chop is that? 2 or 3 inches
