Thanks Kiwijeff for posting my '32 !
I hang around here for info, but haven't posted. I don't want to start a build thread (too much time involved), but I will post some info on the car, give links to photo galleries, and answer any questions anyone may have.
The car took 1,950 hours, ALL by me, except upholstery and exhaust. The body you see is THE original 1932 body, even the frame has the original paint production stamps below the drivers door ! I like proper proportions, and original parts modified to blend with the car.
Yes, it does have a diesel and a Ford transverse front suspension ..................... sorry.
