Thread: Opinions to buy a '32 Roadster

Tweet

The all black car ad says it has a 9" Ford rear end. What kind of 9" has a back cover plate? Currie has the Track 9, but this doesn't look like one. No big deal, just idle curiosity. I would have liked to see a front end shot on the flamed car. Also, the flames on the outside AND in the upholstery panels was a bit much for me - but that's just me. Buying without an upfront inspection and a test drive is always a risk. Either find someone who knows the cars, or perhaps there is a local NSRA inspector in each area that could do an inspection for a reasonable fee.

Jack's idea of a local NSRA inspector is a good one - impartial, but schooled in safe fabrication. On the cover, is that maybe one something like those from OTB that glues on?
