36 Eats 37's Guts

I did some fun work to the roadster this weekend. I purchased a running driving old hot rod ’37 pick-up ch***is. I swapped out the front suspension, rear suspension, steering, engine and transmission in about 10 hours into the '36. Talk about a motivator – I’m ready to get this thing on the road!

 

Bad ***, are those juice brakes?

 

damn good for you...congrats.glad to see you kept the car.

 

Yes - they are '39. I love the look of the wide fives.

 

Ya I'm so glad I kept it. It still has a ways to go, but it will be a fun jalopy driver.

 

Looks great, keep it up.

 

Are you going to slam it or tail drag it?

 

Neither. As the front sits now will be its ride height. The rear will get a taller tire (7.00ish) to fill up the air gap to the fender. It will have a slight hot rod rake.

Thanks.

 

Awesome. I hope to see your car one day.

 

Looks like a productive weekend. Does make you feel good. Sometimes I can't see any progress and then it all falls together. Good for you.

 

Ten hours, Wow, their not much faster than that on that 'Overhaulin' show....good job
