Default 32 Ford "tweaks" and a few mods

I hesitate to post this up since it's CLEARLY not a PT build or style car... But I figured it's a car - so maybe some are interested. So here it is.

Some of you already know that I bought a 32 Ford a week or so ago.... No, I wasn't in the market for one. I saw this car when I was in Sun Valley for the weekend and bought it...

So after living with it for a few days -- it needs to be modified a bit....

It is a 383 stroker - carbed - T56 6 speed - 8" Ford rear - Kugel Komponents IRS front end with their cast stainless arms... It's Ferrari Rosso Red. I like the car - but it just isn't quite right in a couple areas so I'll attempt to bring those few missteps in line.

Here's a couple pics of how it is now:











And here is the first napkin sketch:

It's at SAR (Steve's Auto Restoration) now and they'll start work ASAP. The plan is to do a Kugel Winters Quick Change with the cast stainless arms to match the front - change the steering wheel to a four spoke - change the wheels to the Schott Velocitys with knock off caps - ditch the 6 speed for a TKO 600 FIVE speed (with 3:90 gears) - loose the hood sides - Lake style exhaust - 8 stack EFI - change the headlight mounts...
