"32 Lasalle progess

[humfleet]

Let me know what you think. All suggestions are appreciated. I will be putting a 265 sbc and powerglide under her.

 

[FlatBroke]

Long and low...

Gotta love that

 

[joehalford01]

i'd make a suggestion but i don't have any. looks like you have it under control. i agree with what flat said.

 

[Bonehead]

Looks great, roomy too.

 

[russty]

It looks sinister as is can't wait to see it with an engine.

 

[rustywrench]

cool project. i do have one suggestion. 472 or 500 caddy motor. its only fitting.

 

[russty]

Ok I couldn't resist. Just recently learned how to mess with photoshop so excuse the crude chop. Chopped or not I still stand by my previous statement.

 

[humfleet]

Cool chop but I don't think I'm ready for that yet. There is definately a lot of room. thanks for the suggestion and keep them coming.

 

[FlatBroke]

One of those 500 caddy motors would make for some interesting driving.

 

[hotrodron]

The caddy motor would be fitting, but I see a blown 392 hemi with zoomies sittin up there in front.

 

[Bonehead]

Tell us about that frame, and front axle, looks like a pretty good set up.

 

[Mr.Gussett]

Looks cool!

I like it! Gangsta for sure!

 

[humfleet]

The frame is 2x3 tubing kicked up in the back and the front. The axle is Model A with model A wishbones. Everything is working out fine except for the steering. Everything is on low low budget so any suggestions on the steering would be very helpful ( pictures too) thanks for all the input. I hope to have more progress photos to come.

Nice ride!

Humfleet,
Wow, don't think I've ever seen a '32 Lasalle. Very unique and your definitely goin' in the right direction. It's going to be a really nice ride!

thanks, I haven't made much progress since the pics but I ran across some cool headlights I gonna use I 'll try post some pics later.

 

[oldschoolobee]

Thats one bad unit , right there...nice work so far...its gonna be awesome..big and LOOOOONG!

 

[humfleet]

More progress.... motor on and headers pretty close to being done. What do you think?

 

[Bonehead]

I think it is looking good. Keep up the good work.

 

[humfleet]

Been awhile since I posted any progress on the ol Lasalle. These pics show one possibility for the grille and rock guard. Those are early 30s big headlights. The white wall tires were bought from a guy who had them stored in the trunk of a old Buick. They were better than expected, especially the cool patina the ww's came with. gives the car a little more charm.

I also shortened the length of the frame in the front by 10 inches. I liked the long look but I got tired of it really quick. this way looks much cleaner.

What do you think now?

 

[Tripper]

Looks really nice!

Humfleet,
That looks really nice & I like the shorter version. That body looks really kool too... definitely won't see many like that!!!
