    Yesterday i tacked this frame up and mocked up the body and grill. the grill is a 1932 Ford grill and the cowl is a 1928 Ford cowl, i have a 1936 front end, and a banjo rear. any suggestions about motor or trans? should this be a drag car or cruzer? Richard 562-338-4419

    Most wooden projects turn out boxy and look unlike the original factory built models. It takes a master carpenter/car builder to pull it off. Please understand I'm not being critical of anyone, just making a statement. Good luck with your build!
