Hey she`s cool about it, I still buy parts, :LOL: I`m still working on the ford 9, housing from a `69 bronco. 58 inches, have a set of 31 spline axles for it, just taking my time looking for a 31 spline 3 to 324 geared posi, missed several on CL because I was just to slow,,but it will happen then I`ll switch to a deeper dish TT wheel.
Nice yeah we have to slip stuff in slowly for sure . I wanted a deeper dish in back but I refuse to tub it , I want it all natural in the body like you are doing . I am just sitting and saring at your pic car is fantastic specially in black .Quote:

Now its way down almost out of site. The guys at Vintage Ford said it couldn`t be done with a stock frame, until I showed up at one of thier shows.
Just a belated Thanksgiving wish - hoping you folks all had a good day.
Bobby - you DO need that 'A' even if you just do a quick flip and sell
Dave the flip was the whole plan , after we got it to fire .Quote:

I will be watching for a good deal on a power set up soon .
Now I am back to staring at that Black 37 , Rich really cant say enough about that car .

After looking at the pics of your existing pedals on your 37 plus a new clutch pedal setup from Pete & Jakes http://www.peteandjakes.com/blog/index.html, I devised a way to modify one pedal setup into two.
Are you going to keep the original X-member in the frame or do you have plans to make some big changes to it? That will make a big difference for how you approach the pedals....
Rich I was up there today and measured rough it was cold HA door was open . He is putting the tires on my 4 1/2 inch off set to get the clearence for the fenders , well is all kinda rounded of right now .

I will have to weld different bungs on it to accommodate the M/C and clutch cable . I will have to figure it out more again once its back . I will have a few pics to add in a short .Quote:
