    Chopsmitty '32 Ford Roadster

     



    This will probably be a few year build, but we'll see how it goes. Things move slowly here in Hawaii and are VERY expensive.

    My dream car has always been a blown roadster so.....

    One day I just happened upon this:

    [IMG]IMG_2140_zps6bbe7403 by Greg Green, on Flickr[/IMG]


    It was supposed to be (and appeared to be!) an original 32 frame and some really lightweight body of unknown origin. Figured it would be a great starting place - so I picked it up.
