New here anyways. Been lurking here quite a while and got tired of not being able to see the pictures. I hang out at pro-touring and the hamb, and lurk at corner-carvers as well.
You may have seen my 32 around and we (my wife, Angela, aka the shoe) are bulding a 66 Mustang full of DSE and GMR stuff.
We'll see you at the LatG party at SEMA!
Thanks!

Welcome to the board. Did not know your a local guy. Saw you tearing up the autocross at Ind, you did pretty good for just having a drop axle.

Thanks guys!! Here are some pics from the last 32 redeux.....
built my own accessory drive from half a VintageAir Frontrunner

Rear coilover mounts came out cool. Single shear, I know, but almost all hot rods are set up this way. I can rotate the billet piece to adjust ride hieght up and down and change the angle on the coilovers.

3 link in this hoopty. That giant crossmember is right behind the seat.....

The floors were styled after a 34 Ford.....sort of. Yep steel floors, plastic car:rolleyes:

Wiring panel getting started. All tied with wax string, I learned from a guy that worked at the power company. If I get on a roll it is actually faster than zip ties.

Here is a shot with the other wheels and tires. For this car I really prefer this look......sadly this was the last time these wheels were on. The car is running big brakes now with a GMR floater in the back. Front wheels no longer fit:(

That's the short version anyways.....still not finished with it. Got a few things to wrap up this winter and then it's on to the "late model" 66 Mustang.

Simplicity....2011 5.3 takeout that I bought from SLP on ebay as a long block. Eliminate the afm, Mast cam (along with their harness and ecm), LS2 intake and LS3 throttle body and a stock LS3 oil pan.
