    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
