Hey
Hi all - looking to learn here. My wife and I are thinking of building a car together, so I decided to do some research.
Not entirely new to the rod scene. My father had a 32 5wdw - all steel, SBC and 3 speed back in 75 - Black with flames of course!
Would love to re create that car but I may need to convince the wife.
I would love a 32 5 wdw, flat head motor, mostly retro looking maybe something like they woulda built in the 40's but steel and those ain't easy to find - hoping there is a replacement kit out there somewhere?
Other cars that interest me : 40's-50's fords, 64-70 Mustangs, old Torinos, Any old delivery style trucks ect.
Well just saying hi.
PS - I also (for some strange reason) have a desire to do a 32 hi-boy , nice but with a Toyota I-force V8 motor (outta a tundra) IIRC you can get a factory supercharger. Would be different and certaintly reliable.Last edited by body-man; 03-09-2005 at 08:17 AM.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
