My B400 build

I found a partly done 32 B400. The body is a real deal with the Murray body tag still riveted to the floor. The ch***is was pretty much done, done as a highboy hotrod, pinched and bobbed frame, set up for a flathead, quickchange and a 5 speed. Just the way I wanted to go. The body was in great shape. It did need quarter patches, wheel wells and a rear floor. All of the top irons were there. All of the garnish moldings and "odd" parts were there also.
I had a rebuilt flathead from another project, so that was the perfect fit for this one. Rebuilt the 5speed and the Halibrand quickie. The metal work, body work and the paint is now done. I have been doing the final ***embly, wiring and detail work. It will go to the interior shop next week. Here are a few pics. Dale

 

I was just reading the other B400 thread. Did that wake you up?

Man,what a beauty,,congratulations! HRP

 

Rare car, looks like a nice project. Getting that top to look just right is the key to that build IMO. Thanks for the photos. Bob

 

Very cool.

I've been watching your build on your blog too - good stuff.

 

How much are you going to chop it?

 

Nice ride!!!

 

your drawing looks great,but......i've never seen a car look that good---good luck

 

outside of the woodie, that is my favorite 32 body style.

 

Hot damn! Glad you started a thread here finally! One day, when I grow up, I'll still want a B400 more than any other car ever built, just like now!
