Hondo requested some pictures of the chassis modifications for this build.

I cut the frame down the middle and narrowed it. After narrowing, I cut the floor boards out and used thin plastic, to put the floor boards on the bottom of the frame instead of on top. Prior to 1962 these cars usually had the transmission and drive shaft under the floor boards. Around 1962 when they started narrowing, cutting down and lowering the bodies, the transmission and drive shaft was above the floor boards. The quick change rear, radius rods, tires and wheels are resin, from Big Donkey resin

Bob great fab work on the body! It reminded me when I did my 33 Chevy (the big 8) coupe I used an AMT 34 5 window as a starting point, Yes it is a lot of work but fun, so much fun I did another for Fred to use as a master. Again great job!

Beautiful work on that chassis.  Not being familiar with these cars, did they have some sort of cover over the transmission?  Or did they just let the brass in their shorts suffice?  ::)
