Not gonna interfere with the 32 Rat Rod thread. This is the beginning of my Deuce. I sectioned about 7 inches out of the body. Once I get the tubs in I'll be able to do the body work around them. In scale it will sit approx. 2 inches at the bottom of the body at the door. The tubs will not completely cover the tires. I will have a flare up opening. I usually think up ideas at 4am when I first awake....it is a natural thing. I next to never sleep after 4am. I have been pondering the rear 4 link....I came up with this swing arm idea....kind of like on a motorcycle. The axels will be mounted through it and then shocks to the top of the frame.(No pics yet.) Z-mounted at the top of the differential casing. I guess it will be natural-ish.???? I see it in my mind, anyway. It will have an opening trunk and doors, too. I am considering adding a 1/2 inch in length from the rear window to the trunk line, too. As Forrest Gump would say..."Fast is as fast does". Doh!( a little Homer there, too!!) And for you OLD guys...no, there will not be a rumble seat! hahahah!....just rumble! I guess I am burned out on the T dragster a little and I have a lot of work going now....so things are going to be slow until my move is completed. I am moving at the end of May. I have plenty of imagination coming out of the big box of resin parts I bought from Don in the garage sale....a dual quad 426 Hemi will be the power plant! This project will be mostly resin or scratch built. I'll probably turn 60 before it's done...sure hope not! Rick
I have tried to up load 2 more pics....just won't do it so I added these.

I see you picked up a set of "nascar" eagles from my pal Doug B. I gotta get me a set from him one of these days. Something I gotta ask.... Where did you get the rims for those tires??? Inquiring minds want to know.

[mdlrk]

Hi Guido, The tires/rims came from a guy in Canada. I am sure they were made from truck rims because of the number of mounting bolts. I have matching front rims, too. They are resin cast. Maybe he got the tires from your friend Doug. The tires are a nice rubber slick. I saw these same rims on one of Dan's builds in the gallery, too. Rick

Cool! Thanks Rick.

[ScaleMotorcars]

Those are Johns rims. I can probable get ya a set if you want. The rubber I don't know.

[Deuces-wild]

Naaaaa I'll wait. Thanks Dan.... If you ever decide to cast a 3 er a 5-window '32 Ford pick'em up truck, I might want a pair for the rear.

Guido, I have a set of really deep dish wheels (5 lugs) no slots. Hook up with me via email.
