new 32 ford project was started today

[black69]

my 32 made it to a friends garage/shop to get a 56 lincoln motor and trans today (and I gave him an open check to get the engine and trans hooked up, I don't have a shop or the knowledge, I will help a bit). the car was going to be 'kwizz buick blue' like his latest hotrod, but I think that would clash with the lincoln engine color. going to reverse the exhaust manifolds so I can save money buy customer headers.


what is puzzling to even the old hot rodder helping me, is the bell housing on that 56 lincoln is all aluminum and looks pretty cool. I never would have thought they would have used aluminum so early. Even the tail shaft on that huge heavy motor's trans is aluminum. learn something new everyday.

I hope to have the only 32 ford hotrod with a 56 lincoln motor. The valve covers made the choice easy.

going to hopefully learn how to weld a floor in, we will see how that goes. going to reverse the channeling and sit the body back up on its frame.
