Hot Rods Grits builds a 32 Roadster

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by grits, Jun 8, 2012.

  1. Here's a project I've started for a customer, it's a 32 roadster, it will be build as the customer supplies parts so this might take a while :(.
    The rear is a winters performance quick change, up front, chromed 4" drop axle with bat wings radius rods, buick finned drum brakes. The motor will be a baby hemi with a T5
    behind it. As you can see in the picture the hub size was way bigger than the wheel opening so I had to turn down the hubs a bit



    I'll let the pictures tell the story.

    Grits, how about a little info on what it will be...engine, fenders or no, rolling stock etc. Your Model A is a killer so I expect this will be a good one too

    I had that same problem, ran the 1/4 inch spacers to get em off the hub. Your solution is better. :)
