Hello from Michigan

[digitalrodin]

Just bought a project that he never got to finish before passing. Paid for and pick it up in 2 weeks. Tapered frame engine Transmission. Front suspension rear suspension and fuel cell. The rest for me and my 14 year old daughter get to figure out. And hopefully with help from all of you.

Welcome from St Louis. I like what I see - some good bones to build a hotrod on. Also, glad to hear your youngun's gonna help. Warms my heart!

(PS - Is that a 5.3 LS ?)

Welcome from Maryland. Looks like they may have been planning to use a model a body judging by the firewall. You can easily go any direction though at this point. Glad your daughter is interested in the project! That's going to be a lot of fun!

Finally picked it up and got it home. It has a Gen3 Hemi, 727 trans, franklin racing Q0-80 rear end. Early 30 ford grill and firewall. No clue what frame.

Wow! That's quite a power train. Is the steering system well made? How about the brakes? Safety in these little cars is very important, especially if you're going to have a young driver. Should be a fun project to complete.

PS - It looks like it's set up for a Deuce or Model A body. Have you sourced a body for it yet?

Very nice setup. Welcome from Texas

Looks like a ‘32 firewall and frame. Would suggest you look that way. Spirit Cars has both 3 and 5 window bodies and excellent quality. I enjoyed my all steel except for the fenders coupe when I had it.
