    On the car, looks like a spring behind the axle on the front and a decent size kick in the rear. I have a similar drop front axle on my current project and even with Model A front crossmember it sits a bunch higher.

    Humm, what looks like a legal cage for an x class roadster and an engine that looks like it may have what it takes to make a serious pass across the salt. I like it.

    That is a serious looking car and I'd sure like to know more about it.

    There has yet to be a '32 roadster that looks better with it's windshield and headlights than without. This is no exception. Mean looking car.
     
  18. Awesome looking car!!

    Any news so far?? Heard the dude moved to A.S.S.?
     
  24. I know its been around for a while in that state. In one of his garage magazines, No. 13 form March 2007, hes kneeling beside the car for a old milwaukee beer ad. In the picture they have a flathead sitting next to the car but im unsure if it is the same one.
     
  25. Great car. I love the ASS style.

    Next time I am in Austin I am eating at Sam's!:D
