The Roadster Shop chassis has been ordered. REVO front end.... Penske Double Adjustables all around (Stieg talked me into them)... narrowed 2" in the rear and the wheelbase altered by moving the front end forward 1" to center the front wheel in the fender opening. Ford 9" on triangulated rear - 3:70 gears - 1350 yoke... for those sideways days. LOL
Stealing (fair and square) from a friend that is building his own '40 P/U -- I want to stretch the cab 2".... and shorten the bed the same amount - keeping the fenders and running boards where they belong "stock"... Not going to chop the lid. These cabs are just too small. Dan showed me how his seat fits and actually has some angle to it rather than the pretty straight up and down the way the stock ones are... SOLD! Wow what a difference!
Rodger Lee called yesterday and we discussed motor choice. LS3 is what I'm going to use. Besides - Charley threatened me too! They just work. They're easy. They're light. They're cheap. Parts are so available. Why fight it? Maybe I'll paint it Chevy orange to further piss off the Ford crowd.
