Dear Hambers As my roadster is running like a charm <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1WOFqhG1BYk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> i now decided to start this new built and I would like to be more late 50'/early sixties styled I started to work on the frame, both rails are in bad shape, and I had pretty bad hours to re***emble and put it back straight The front end will be suicide, using Ford 1935 front end and heavy axle Ibeam 1932 The X member is from 1935 the Rear cross member is original Model A The grille is not the final as I have one original, and the firewall is original The engine will be the Cadillac 365ci that I was using last year on the roadster, it is all original exept for the 6x2 intakes and it is boltet to a T5 transmission The wheels are vintique 15x4 chrome in front with exelsior 500x16 Rear are vintage Torquethrust 15x9 that will be fitted with slicks rear ladders bars are home made Rear Axle is an mix from 1948 and 1936, I shortened the axles tubes about 2 inches to fit the correct widths The body was found in the Hamb advert section, and unfrtunately it has been lost during the shipment from Virginia to California, making the story short, after months the shipping company reimburse and I was lucky to find another one, this one is on the way to my house ( I hope with no problems this time) I will send pictures of progress later
