    Very cool. I like how the floor was done. What kind of dash is that? I still can't decide if I want to use 35 wires or 16" steelies.

    thanks! chop or no chop that is the question I am asking everybody now. Thinking 3" chop if I do it. Personally I like it either way. what's your opinion?

    Blackboard Hotrods in Bakersfield, Ca. has the best price I have found for the '32 frame. The workmanship is fantastic as well.

    I'm faced with the same problem. I love that stock look, but the chop looks so mean. Right now I'm doing NO chop, but if you ask me tomorrow I might tell you otherwise. If you did the chop, 3" would be my choice as well.

    My 31 Tudor (in my profile pic) becomes a roller next week once I get the rear spring I need for the stance I'm going for. I'm using the Model A frame for now. (Plans of switching the body to a 32 frame in a couple years.) I would like to try 2 different springs, a reverse Model T with some springs missing or use a flat rear crossmember with a 35-48 spring mounted behind the rear end axle.

    BTW here's my WANTED AD incase anyone reading has either spring I need.
