was gonna leave it alone cause its period piece but it has sum in my opinion small imperfections, the grille shell and radiator and fans are too far forward need to bring em back in line with headlights or a tad behind, the fans are too wide,the fan enclosure is too big, the engine is alittle forward move it back sum, the shocks are in my opinion mounted wrong should be right under headlights, and not coilovers, the wheels will be changed to jeron halibrands or spoke jeron wheels i have . these are all mior issues which i will address. the engine will most likely be swapped out for a new conley or not, then sum new paint and flames to scale , the interior is fine except for the steering wheel which will be swapped out for a wood rim jeron unit , the dash will be redone in aluminum and polished or painted red, chrome shift ball. these are all hot rodding tricks from a full scale

new pics, as you guys can see i have moved the engine back about an inch, modified the engine mounts, new tranny mount, new shocks oil filled , new leaf spring with reverse eyes thay support the weight of the car the original ones did not , the shocks are smaller to scale, the grille shell was moved back about an inch and a half more to scale, most likely will drop it more about a quarter of an inch, put the jerons wit the adapters that were made to keep the knock offs, put the indys side by side to see the look, a custom fill tank is being made to go on top of the radiator, its brass . the steering knuckles are gonna be reworked so they dont look like they were carved out of aluminum, an electric fan is gonna go in wit new tabs on radiator, the front spreader bar is gonna be cut out and a new one made and moved in, new tail light bezels, i can go on and on almost done! oh also got sum headlights in might put em on dont like the red ones too much

Hi Jay,

I really like what you've done with the 32. Nice touch with the wire wheels too. I got a 32 body a while back from Mike C. and have had it on hold for a while now. You've inspired me to get it out start working on it. You're also done a fantastic job with the body work and paint . Nice job!

I look forward to seeing your 32 finished.

Good Luck, Rick
