    So far you've achieved perfection.

    What color?

    Paint or primer?

    what motor?

    Just curious, but why are the wishbones mounted so high? Seems like the axle would be leaning forward instead of back.

    Looks awesome. Im working on the same kind of car. I went with a dropped axle, but I keep seeing these cars with the spring on the wishbones and it looks so good...

    The Axle is in front of the spring and front end much lower (Like the rolling bones cars)
    Wicked looking 32w can't wait to see it done:D Is that the same chassie build and style as your old Killer 32 Roadster:D?!!

    Guilty as charged! I just can't get enough of that pinched frame, Bonneville race look. It's being built in the same style as the old black '32 that you mentioned.

    The axle has the right amount of caster, don't worry guys...

    Also worth mentioning, there was no motor or trans in the car at the time of that picture. So the front end will drop down a little bit more and when you look at the car from the side, those front wishbones will line up with the frame a little bit better.

    As far as paint goes, I'm not 100% sure what color yet. But it's going to be something dark and I'm gonna shoot it in Lacquer.

    Just thought I'd put up another photo, this is where the car stands now. I'm at the point where most of the big stuff is done and the little things just seem to drag on forever.

    Keep your fingers crossed for me!

    It's been awhile and while I was digging around my computer I found some more "in progress" pictures... Nothing spectacular, but I know that everyone loves pictures.
