Congratz!
It reminds me of the `32 Ford rumble seat roadster hot rod that I helped my uncle build when I was a kid! 327, 4 bbl, Vette indy rear end/suspension, etc. Scary fast! 
I know where you'll be this weekend!

Always wanted to drive one but never have. What’s it like?

I've been looking for a 4 person hot rod/classic to fit my family and was extremely surprised how affordable the roadsters were getting. You can get a really trick car for a surprisingly low amount of money... Looks like the dollars are going towards later model cars.
This is a fantastic looking car!! Congrats!

So I am thinking about selling my 76 BMW 2002 and building a 32 ford with my dad. I don't feel so bad now. 
Felt like I was selling out a bit.

Felt like I was selling out a bit.That's a worthwhile idea. I had a '76 2002 years ago. Great car, but I'd swap it for a '32 Ford project anytime. Just make sure you put a Ford engine in it. Flatheads rock!

Not kidding.... Here is Betty (And a few friends) flogging my Dad's concurs 55 Bel Air convertible on the AX course.
My Dad loved to tell his friends about his daughter in law that raced his car. They didn't believe him. He left the tech sticker on the car for years after that just so he could prove it to them.

Absolutely. That is the one requirement of the build. @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=5344

Hey, I had one of those! Mustang 2+2 is a great car but I traded mine in on an even better one.......a brand new ‘73 914.

Well I am glad to know that I am not the only other 914er that likes to play with hot rods too. 
was hesitant to post it at first but wanted to share with y'all. Now I am glad I did.

My dad has quite a collection of hot rods with the oldest being a 32' chevy hot rod, next a 46' chevy truck. I've had a few 70's cars and trucks. I would still have a 70's chevy in the stable if I had the space... love that v8 grumble!
