Quick baby on for a visual. Front tires… seem too big still. But will decide once car it together. I was super pumped on running a Dickie seat...
You’re not wrong. And I’d be thinking the same. I have a set of 4.75s there I might pop on one side to see. But biggest thing is getting the body...
So this has been assembled and rolling before. So it’s no major milestone getting back up on wheels BUT- since disassembly I dropped the 32 heavy...
Thanks @GearheadsQCE the package arrived today! Time to get that rear end together
Rears fitted! These are huge! Hope to keep proportions good. But they look awesome mounted on the 700/18s Next up: build rear axle and make it a...
Thinking the hub will go that colour! Or the inside of the backing plates.
Tires to rims tomorrow! Can’t wait to mock this up again and see how it all looks with these beautiful Rocky Mountain Hubs! They remind me of the...
Imagine an 18” accessory cap!!
Definitely don’t disagree. Beautiful curves for sure
While still awaiting the carrier bearings for the rear end to build I decided to clean up and paint the wheels. fronts are 16” narrow V860 rims...
Lots more to come!
Due to the drive shaft relocation nearly 3” lower than the factory ‘36 center I needed to head and bend the radious rods to fit properly. Also...
Over the next week I plan to get this back rolling! I want to finish the 36 radious rods and fir those to get everything painted. Then it’s on to...
Rear crossmember is officially finished. Welded inside and out, blended, hot riveted, primed and painted. I then loosely mocked up the rear axle...
Definitely I got one on standby
Frames flipped over, sections of the old 32 crossmember are removed and will finalize the welding and blending. Got excited to see what the Model...
Agreed! Happy with the result forsure
Hahah
Put a few hours into the rear cross member- definitely a lot of work! Would have been easier to remove the whole thing and fix in a complete model...
Parts gather has been good. I want to get this in motion and start the first episode. It’s been amazing how many of you have reached out to see if...
Good to see these guys and gals having fun! The passion certainly follows. Stay humble and keep hotrodding alive!
I got one extra Bruce! It’s a bit rough but still. Half ways there

Total long shot but was thinking of running a old chrome or nickle plated 32 grill- I know that’s rare as hens teeth but let’s play the game,...
Everydays a school day!
Thank you sir! Yeah I’m not planning on running caps but thought heck might be nice to have the option!
Roger that!
Was able to spend a few hours today roughing in the front side of the crossmember- I utilized the factory lip or flange off the 32 crossmember. I...
Looking forward to see what you come up with
I like his philosophy!
