Well I broke down and got a 32.
Pete and Jakes chassis, 350/350.
Have lots to do. If anyone know how to tame this suspension please chime in.

That is gangster cool..!!!!!!

**The Rocknrod** · 02-08-2023, 10:18 AM

That's what I'm thinking.

Very nice,what do you mean by tame the suspension? Is it original springs? I kind of see a shock strut under the front.

**The Rocknrod** · 03-19-2023, 10:37 PM

Buggy spring front with Shocks.
Coil overs in rear. I'm figuring it all out. Thanks ��

I suggest going over to the HAMB website for info on the suspension. Or if you know it's an actual P&J chassis, give them a call and get some advice. This looks like a pretty traditional car (i.e. not a billet street rod) and it should fit right in. And how can you go wrong with a '32 Ford? Looks really nice. Enjoy!

No the HAMB is good if your one of the initial few who started the group. I have never been successful at getting responses there (not in the click). And frankly there is far too many haters there.

Thanks. Startin to grow on me.
I installed a from steering damper from So-Cal and it seems to have fixed an issue I had.
I'm going to cover it in semi gloss clear from Poppy's Patina. Should work for what I'm looking for.

that is nice!

you know, this is weird.... but every time I see a car from this era, I always think if someone at some point was hanging on the running board shooting at someone like the movies.

**The Rocknrod** · 04-30-2023, 05:02 PM

�� well I guess you could, it's been done obviously.
