There is no dash or space for one in the new plates
Excellent design and execution; congratulations to all involved!
Bob, those are roofing tiles. PAG88, I have to look at the "new" plates again to see if the dash is there, but I don't remember it. Car is in...

I did not want to put 1932 plates on my sedan; I started dreaming about this car in 1951, started building in 1952, and stopped. Picked up the...
Lynn Yakel's coupe, which I'm pretty sure was owned by Vic Tuttle in Tulsa, OK by the mid 1950s. It was in grey primer by then. My '32 sedan is...
Max Balchowsky built several Dorettis with nail valve Buick engines. I think they were made after the '32 roadster and before the series of Old...
I think the flat head you mention would be 304 cu inch, and probably 225 hp in street trim. I'm 75 years old, 6' 0" tall, 185 lb. My '32 sedan...
Here is a body with real hot rod roots - Bill Burke and Micky Thompson!...
Don said "And........as stupid as it sounds, my very favorite find was this carb scoop I bought from Charlie at Vintage Speed. It came off of...

"I've decided to not channel the body but give it a 2" haircut and run full fendered." See if you can Photoshop the car with a frame width...
Here is a dropped axle, but it does not say how he did the rear. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/39-merc-convertible.845089/
I think that is the late "Doc Young" car. He lived in the Central Valley of Calif, near or in Lemore, I think.. Ernie Mendici, also deceased,...
This guy just pulled a '52 Victoria body off to use the chassis under a vintage fiberglass body. Maybe you can get parts from him - although I...
I was having one of those sleepless nights those of you my age know so well, and came across this thread. In Tony's original group of photos is...
Rik's post on page one included an unfinished car and said: "And a sectioned and chopped four door... not sure if it was ever finished." If one...
When I was with Go Power, we shipped kart parts to a Calif Speed & Sport in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
The '32 two door I bought in 1951 in Tulsa, Oklahoma must have belonged to a guy who was very worried about flats. It had the dual side mounted...
The numbers etc n the body indicate it ran Modified Sports class.
I am struck by the similarity to what your are building and what John Buddenbaum built about 25 years ago. If the eBay link still works, here...
