    Do you know of any pictures of what it should look like? This one has definitely been butchered.

    Did you ever get the lower hose alignment figured out?
    I have a 8ba in my deuce with truck pumps and wound up having to pick up the engine to meet, then used short hoses to the rad.. Tried the model engineering offsets, but they weren't going to work and really everything was too close to fab an offset... Curious how you work it out.... Nice build

    Sweet Build! Where are those tail lights from? I have the same ones on my 32.

    Thanks Jesse

    Saw this build thread in Paul's sticky. This roadster really looks great. You're nailing everything on what a flatty hot rod should look like.

    Great project I am reading with interest , top ideas happening, hope the previous keeps taking their pills, and stays away from cars.
    Do you have any details of the hydraulic clutch master cyl. And salve cyl. Or mount pics of the slave . We are doing the same thing in a very low T coupe.

    Nice work!

    So what was the budget? I'll guess with the initial purchase of the body $32k. New budget $ 46,531.02. Let me know if I'm close.
    It will be one sweet ride, worth every penny.
