    Reproduction '32 Ford grill, cheaply made but not so cheap to purchase. But I can now guilt free cut it up to work in the application.

          Wow!

          Will it be flat low like in this mockup or old school raked?

            Unfortunately no. As you can see the body is un-channeled, intentionally as I'm a big guy and need as much foot space as possible. I was heavily considering a double Z'd frame but that too would just bring the drivetrain further up into the body. I'll put it together using a traditional T straight frame with kicked up rear for the diff. I'd like the rear ride height so the axles are straight. I fear any lower would point the axles upwards at the wheels and look ridiculous and rake down a couple of inch's to the front, not anything drastic like the fad T's of the 80's

                Cleaning up the rear end. A couple of cans of degreaser, a pressure washer and a couple hours with a wire wheel it wasn't perfect but acceptable enough for paint.

                      Thank you, admittedly the tire is wide for the wheel. A 12" wide wheel would have been a better choice, but I'll run what I've got for now

                        Looks great. Speedway is a good company and make excellent steel wheels also, not sure what pattern you have but they can easily be redrilled. Would be cool to have a set of 12wides just to mess with, cheap too
