Chopped 32, front a bit lower than the back...will post some pics tomorrow when it's cleaned up a bit. Right now trying to decide on engine: First, Revell custom Car parts 58 blown Chrysler hemi or SCoT Blown flathead...thoughts?

Tough call! Im building a crazy hemi for my chopped 32....But if I had a scot blower for a flathead....I would Probably go for the flathead.
When in doubt, Build both!

this was a pain to chop, had to lengthen and then cut out a small 1/4 in front and then bring it in, will sand down and then have to rescribe the window openings...I am happy with the look though.

Okay, so I am going to prob'ly use the 58 Hemi on a drag build. Competition Resin has some cool 'Moon' covers for the 392; thinking this'll be too late of a build to really go with the flathead, late 60s, so thinking the 426 I was going to put into the 65 will go here instead. Anyone got a good rearend for this build that'll handle a hemi? Maybe a spare Dana?

Well, this weekend got most of the bodywork cleaned up, was going to post pics but the gf has decided she's questioning our relationship (I know too much info but there is a point...) so I didn't have access to a digital camera tonight (point). Need to rescribe the doorlines and around the windows, also thinking of using a thin beading wire for the drip rail and need to scratch new upper hinges on both doors. Now, to work on the engine.

BTW Went to my daughter's baby shower today, damn, I feel old, recognizing I am going to be a grandpa soon...should've been dealing with this in a few more years you know.

Looking at Modeltech's very cool 32 (yes, channel the grille dude!) and back working on mine...there were some instances of them chopped as deep as mine in the fifties but not many unless they were made for the lakes...so here's my question, should I continue as a late sixties build or a fifties lakes build? Can't make up my mind.
and yes, I still have no digital camera (or gf either at this point) so no pics still.
