New Member From Troy MI
New to the street rodding scene, just sold my race car and bought a 32 roadster project from a fellow in Appomattox VA. Now I have a LOT of questions that I'll be looking for answers to.
Brief Roadster overview
1932 Roadster "glass body"
4 bar front and rear suspension
Rear coil over American shocks
8" (wish it was a 9")
390 FE (I wanted to be different)
C6 trans
And what ever the budget allows from here!!!!!
Thanks,
Phil

Welcome Phil! Wouldn't worry much about the 8"--unless you're planning on slicks, posi, and some time at the dragstrip the little 8" holds up surprisingly well!!! Light car with street tires won't put a lot of strain on it... Whatever you have specific questions or issues with, just ask away!!! Somebody on here will have a "been there, done that" based answer for you!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Shine's done a lot more hot rod & muscle car builds than me, but I've found an adjustable PV to be helpful in balancing front to back braking. All OEM vehicles use a non-adjustable proportioning...
