'32 Ford Rolling Chassis

'Hey all,

  Starting in on the next Hot Rod for my growing stable.   Will try to post more "in progress" shots this time for those that are interested.      The first phase will be creating a complete "Rolling Chassis".  Here's what I've got done so far for tonights work.  Think that this will be it for the night.  More to come tommorow.  Stay tuned.   The Rear-End is currently borrowed from the CTJP Chassis by Hardknox. It will be replaced by my own eventually.

29 April 2011  -  Slow progress after the Easter Weekend.   Here's the latest update, for the "Rolling Chassis"  Got the new rims done, front shocks, leaf spring in.  Need to connect the Leaf Spring, and create the front spindles to complete the chassis.

01 May 2011  -   The Rolling Chassis is now complete.  Now it's time to make the decision on what year and customizations I want to use for the Body, and begin on it.   More to come soon I hope.
