Well, here it is.

I want to use the gt500 engine and wheels but the engine has a problem, the air duct doesnt just have the air cleaner, it has everything.

Hi Lane , It looks like you are installing a Mustang engine into your '32 . I've never done it but it should be no problem . I would forget the stock air filter and make something that is mounted to the Throttle Body .

Why don't you ask some questions about what you are doing . Everyone here is more than willing to help .

Good luck . It will look great when you are done !

BOB.

Lane, I highly recommend stripping that old yellow paint before you go much further with this. Looks interesting so far.

aye .. as any body putty with go with the paint when you DO strip it.

Heres a wee bit of an update. I was thinking about doing something like this for the interior but I do realize that the shifter has to be over the tranny, but, I do have friends that race on dirt tracks, and I can try to make a shift rod to connect the shifter and tranny.

And P.S. there isnt going to be a passenger seat.

Here are the gauges, I was going for an aluminum look.

Here is the Mustang steering wheel on the 32 mount.

And the engine, I found an air cleaner, then lost the air mount that it was supposed to be glued to. I found a spare and used that.

I do have a few questions, 1.) I cant decide on a color. I was thinking silver, but I'm not sure. Any Ideas? 2.) How would I incorporate lights into this thing?
