Out of "Tradition" Build. What are your thoughts?
I have a guy interested in a chevy truck I have. If he purchases it, I'm really considering buying a 32 Ford Coupe/Roadster. I've always wanted one. I'm into the diesel stuff way more than gas stuff. So, if I get one, I'll be shoe horning a 6bt cummins of some form in it. I've wanted to do this since a friend of mine had a fiberglass 32 with rolling chassis I could have baught right. Instead, I built my Corvette.I know a lot of guys will hate it. But in my mind this is hot rodding at it's finiest. Take an engine that never went into a hot rod, and go hot rodding. I know I can have 500hp and 25mpg. Plus it won't be another hot rod with a SBC in it. I'd really like an open hood, no fenders, big wide tire'd coupe. If I do this, I plan on finishing it and selling it, and building another. To me this will be more fun then working on the trucks we are now, and I will have to deal less with people whom don't want to pay their bills! What are your thoughts since you guys are more vintage rodders then I am?
