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!

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.

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.

Well I am glad to know that I am not the only other 914er that likes to play with hot rods too.

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!
