    I'm building a drag race styled 32 roadster. The car is inspired by my father who drag raced all his life. So I thought if he was going to build a 32 roadster, how would he do it? So this is my impression of what I think he might build. 10350435_702107646518393_5141688399602455535_n.jpg 10172636_687539731308518_6123410860412449488_n.jpg 10007257_702626239799867_756889345586122254_n.jpg 10358133_704831946245963_8371625354921775976_n.jpg 1010795_639864342742724_1763496508_n.jpg 1779929_653581444704347_1190797143_n.jpg 10297610_717603864968771_1576843379418603403_n.jpg a2713938045f11e38fba22000a1fb1a7_7.jpg c85b6686168a11e3af4d22000a1fb83a_7.jpg 10426669_719229668139524_4537481453665901935_n.jpg 10442375_712565815472576_6767259276995454828_n.jpg 10557315_730424147020076_5304941508982669792_n.jpg 10494605_730453493683808_7103879552582232584_n.jpg

    Nice work! You might want the front end up in the air like the old days too. It's going to be a killer Deuce!

    Looks like my kind of build. I gotta say I really like the 4 gear with the blower motor.

    Nice build!
    There's a lot of cool stuff in those pics, but I have got to know more about that twisted pipe on the floor in pic # 4

    Its going to be the front spreader bar. It is a solid piece of steel from a oil rig. It's the worm gear from the inside of the drill pipe.

    Always good to see a hot rod with a manual transmission, too many automatics in the hobby anymore.

    Looking good I am building a 32 with a pontiac motor and 4 speed. Can't wait to see how you run your clutch linkage.
    Good luck
