Project Blue - 1932 3W Coupe Build
First off hello to the forum. I am new to the world of forum's like this but I am sure I will be needing help as I progress through the fun of building the car.....so I hope everyone will help!!!
I am taking a fairly basic approach to the build since this is the first "total car" I have built. I used to turn a few Camaros, Chevelles and Firebirds in the late 70's for extra money. I have dreamed of building this car since I was 15 (which is more than 30 years in my rear view mirror) so it will be a blast. I thought about the building the FFR 33 but it was just not quite what I wanted although it is a pretty nice car
The frame arrived this week from TCI and it is roughly assembled. Lots of chrome and polish. 4 wheel disc brakes, 3.70 gears, IFS, Bobbed on both ends and pinched in the front.
I don't plan to adjust and tighten everything up since I will disassemble for paint later....at this point I figure I will locate determine routing for all items and then disassemble and paint before final assembly. The body will be from Outlaw Performance and should arrive later this month. The motor will be a SBC and the tranny a TH350. The drive train should be installed in the next 5-7 days.
I will take a few pictures and if I can figure out how to post them I will.
Thanks in advance to those that I hope will help by answering all my questions
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
