Maybe those exhaust pipes were there to give you some heat in the winter Steve. It's fun working upside down in cramped places, isn't it?

I MIGHT be taking my '27 in a slightly different direction powerwise. I just bought some parts off of a '46 Ford from a member on another forum. He is updating his car with a Chevy engine and some trick suspension stuff, and didn't need all the running gear, including the flathead engine. I have to drive up to Atlanta to pick the stuff up, but it's only about 10 hours each way.

He says the engine ran, so I might consider rebuilding it and putting it in the '27. Either that, or using all of the parts I got from him to build another car entirely. We have some 2 x 3 box tubing left over and I am getting the banjo rear, torque tube, engine and transmission, 4 inch dropped axle, and Posies spring, so I would have a good start on a basic hot rod. It might even be the NEW Project $ 3K ! All I would have to do is find a cheap body somewhere. I have always had a hankering for a T coupe, chopped of course, so that might be something to consider.

Let's see, I still have a '56 Ford truck steering box sitting around, some funky headlights, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............. This is like Deja Vu all over again.
