So here's the story on this build, I've had a 32 Ford all steel coupe for about 8 years now and ran it and drove it for that time. I decided I wanted to build it the way I wanted to so off came the body and I'm using an all new chassis. So some specs on the old chassis. Its an original 32 Ford frame that has been used and cut on and used some more back from when it started its life as a hot rod back in the 50's. Right now it has a 4 bar front end with a tube axle, a 57-62 Pontiac olds rear end, and a 350/350 combo. The coupe ran really good and nice and smooth down the road. So what to do with the old chassis, well at first I just tried to sell it for a few months with a couple bites here and there but no takers. I kept thinking about just throwing a body on it and driving it with a for sale sign, but I didnt want to shell out 5 grand on a roadster body. So I found this 47 International truck cab, doors, and grill on Craigslist for $200! I've always wanted to try my hand at chopping and channeling something so what better way than on a $200 truck? If I screw it up oh well I'll make it into a roadster pick up! So I thought what the hell I'll use that and get it goin to take to Springfield Missouri Memorial day weekend for the NSRA Mid America Nationals. Its a fun event we always like to go to. So I have a week and a half left......lets see if I make it in time! Here come the pics!
Hers's the coupe before
Heres the coupe as she sits now
Heres the old chassis that I'm gonna use.
Heres the body I bought and threw on the chassis just to get an idea. Like the wheels?? Best idea to roll around a chassis in the shop! $30 of plywood!
