Thread: Opinions to buy a '32 Roadster

Tweet

Roger kinda got it, the cover is made by ET (the wheel guys)
The windsheild (layback) is a Dick rodwell (Hi $$$$$$ Item)
If you could combine parts from both cars ya's have a killer car.
Just my 2 cents, but a bobbed hiboy don't get it 4 me.
Gas tank in the trunk means no trunk space.
Just a couple of the many I've built attached

I'll take the black one in the middle in S002!

I love the look of the open side hood, with the chrome windshield and red interior.

I think I prefer the standard upright window over the layback.

But I really prefer manual. Is that a "No-No" with these cars? Most seam to come automatic.

Is the Snug Harbor Hot Rod Engine a decent engine? I have never heard of it.

Automatics are much easier to build, and many prefer their "convenience". I too prefer a manual, opting for the old saying "Real Hot Rods have three pedals", but would definitely advise a five or six speed with a strong overdrive for the road. I run 4.11's with a Tremec TKO600, scary strong through the gears but cruises 2000rpm at just a hair over 70mph.

Can't help you with Snug Harbor. They're an Oklahoma company with good web advertising. Might call them and ask for some references?
