Hi Jim, no hemi's over here, just 440's. That rat motor should
get him around town pretty well.


I miss my old cars, I know they weren't strictly speaking mopars, one was
a 29 model A and the other a 32 ford coupe. The 29 was pretty much a
classic restoration with the exception of the cromed wire spoke wheels.
The 32 Coupe however was turned into a street rod, with complete frame
off restoration from the ground up, had 440 Interceptor with a 6-pack,
411 rears the interior was all done in red crushed velvet seats, burgandy
pile carpeting, the dash was hand worked cherry with chrome trim rings
around guages and controls. Exterior was bright yellow with orange and
red flames airbrushed, and twin chrome sidepipes. Now thinking about
picking up another old Dodge pickup to restore.

Sounds nice, Keith. Those 32 Fords are sweet, what chassis did you
set in on?
