Rodrunner: You have all the basics for an absolutely unique rod. I have a few suggestions you might find helpful...The 32 grille shell is nice, I think you would be happier if you cut a 5" section out of it so it doesn't sit higher than the cowl. Find a 70's era Mopar 318 radiator to fit under it, trim that sheet metal from in front of the crossmember so the radiator can sit down between the frame rails. You can visit a muffler shop and get a piece of tailpipe bent to traansfer water around the crossmember, connecting a radiator hose to each end of it. The radiator will still be behind the front of the tires so it will look right. the frame horns look like the original 32s, which is great, but lose those giant friction shocks in favor of some small tubular ones. Wrap those with chrome tape if you're tight on money.
Just some ideas............... Chester Greenhalgh
