    Hey! I drove the '32 for the first time today!! That is the best feeling in the world, to drive a car you built for the first time!

    I like your style. That's just what I have in mind.
    What are you doing for interior?

    The eng is a 221, 81A that came out of a restored '38 truck. Although, it does have adj lifters. The build sheet from Aaron's Machine in Roseville CA says bored over and a reground cam so I'm not sure what the displacement is now. They weren't specific with those details. It idles pretty smooth so I'm guessing it's not a hot rod cam.
    I plan on painting it gloss black with a dark red or oxblood interior to match the wheels.

    No, I have not stopped smiling yet! That's the first '32 I've ever driven.
