Ghost28  Yes  i know it looks like John Deer Green but it is the original 1932 chevrolet apple green that was out in 1932 and yes this is a deluxe sports roadster with rumble seat and dual side mounts and a luggage wrack with trunk that you can see in the background that and 6 wire wheels vette59jdwl

too the best of my knowledge the roadsters all came as 4 passenger...ie== rumble seat cars.  Except for 1932 where you could order the car as a NON rumble seat called the "standard roadster".

This subject came up on the VCCA CHAT in the last year or so.

I think we're hijacking this.  The question 28chevyguy asked was about mounting his steering column.  Ghost used a Vega box with an old style column.  The front suspension is from a 40 Ford truck.  I looked at his build thread on here and his column looks straight in the pictures.  He may be able to give you some ideas.

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Thanks Tom. I think the only way to get his collumn to sit straight is to either modify the frame as suggested, or use a new 3/4 inch shaft with a couple of universal steering couplers to keep it all lined up. I believe the column he is using mounts direct to the 55 chevy gear box via a rag joint of sorts as a traditional style steering. Seems the best idea is to notch the frame for this application.
