    Gotta admire a guy who'll use one o' momma's rugs to lay on out in the shop!!!

    Might need to adjust that pinion angle a bit though.





    Good start on assembly!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Coming together really nice. Everything looks terrific, beautiful setup.

    BTW, just how long will your driveshaft be? Looks like it may be as short or shorter than mine.

    Really magnificent looking all around. I've never had anything powder coated, buy am going to do it on some project. What are your feelings after you got the parts back? It sure looks good.

    Godspeed you are going to have one high end ride once you are finally finished. Then you will be all smiles cruising along getting smiles, waves, thumbs up, and tons of questions everytime you park. If you don't mind me asking how much did the powder coating run for your frame back there in NJ? You can answer by PM if you want or post. I would like to get a rough idea what I will be facing here on the west coast in a month or so from now. Did you just go with a high gloss black finish with a clear over the top? I can't wait to see your pictures of your completed 32.

    thanks guys !!! the powdercoat came out great , they coated it and then they clear it it is mirror black . very shinny and some people thought it was paint , it looks like it as well !! if you were getting a frame powdercoated look to spend 500 to 1000.00 i payed 5 for mine because he owed me a small favor . the pictures on here do no justice betweeen the chrome and the black it knocks your eyeballs out ..

    and yes i cant wait to roll inthis car ive been collecting parts for 3 years and now it is getting closer and closer to completion . looks like this weekend i am painting the body in epoxy black to seal it . ill have more to post soon the next step is to get the rear mounted and rear brakes and get them wet . oh here is the speader bar caps
