    Here are some pictures of my 31 coupe body I bought in OKC. I'm looking to bolt it on a 32 frame, I dropped off the 53 Merc Flathead at the machine shop today...fingers crossed.

    Very good choice on the flattie motor. Do you have ideas on the internals or the induction and exhaust yet?

    When I pulled it apart it had already been punched out .030, I'm thinking a mild street build with lake style pipes.
