Just dropped back for another look at this sweetheart, nobody here step up yet?
Steel body w/ Deuce rails and nose is hard to beat but Merc Flatty puts it over the top!

Thanks for the kind words Pete! Likely not the best prospective audience here.
A friend of a friend is supposed to be coming by this week for a look. If he doesn't step up I'll get more serious about marketing it. This car is for the old school purest.

Had it out for a blast around the neighborhood today and shot more pix.

Some additional details for guys into these cars:
Original '32 dropped and filled axle with '39 hyd brakes and early Buick finned aluminum drums.
Vintage Guide headlights.
Shrader sprintcar steering wheel on Ford F-1 steering gear.
'39 trans and '36 rear.
'50 Pontiac tail lights.
1 1/2" straight pipes (gets that flatty "bark" just right )
'32 dash with SoCal gauge panel and S-W "winged" gauges.
Thickston intake topped with Stromberg 97s.
