    I recently picked up a set of nice aluminum Canadian heads and 3 Strombergs for my dads NOS French flathead. It's going in his 32 hiboy roadster. He picked up 2 mint Divco 18" wheels for the rear last week that had been professionally widened for the measly sum of $2000. :hmmm:

    Glad I have a Maverick. Couldn't afford a traditional 32 Ford.

    You can't go wrong with wimbledon white. I debated wheather to paint mine wimbledon white again or the original Pastel Blue since the white looked so good. But going with the old code N for old time sake.

    Glad to see other people working on flatties, sold my 31 Chopped Coupe with blown 289ci flathead to a guy in Finland............flatheads are so expensive, that will be the last one I build for myself. The heads were made of two pieces of 6061 billet and held almost 2qts more water than stock heads and, were made by Norm Frick in CO.

    I crawled under the dash to fix a rattle. Found one nut missing on the speaker plate and one missing on the dash pad above the ash tray. Easy fix once you remove everything to get where you wanna be.
