Well sorta...yes it will use a crank mount blower, I'm still trying to figgure out if it will be injected or carburated, But I do know it will be looong and loooow..thats because I stretched the frame in two places and Z'd it for a low look. the rear is the standard 9" on bags...it may go down a pinch depending on rear rubber....

The body has been dropped over the frame in a classic channeling job.......... Now I need to know if the top gets it???

cool. a really nice start on cool car. the '32 tudor sedan is the best looking body from ford. IMHO.

my suggestion is a little different. since the motor is so low, front mount blower, i would suggest a 3 inch section and a 2 inch chop. then tall 16 inch slicks on halibrands. just a thought.

keep us posted.

Thanks for the pictures of the channel job. I'm hoping to do a channeled but stock top sedan one of these days.

I'm gonna follow this build. Looks good so far.

Great idea...just a little to late angry.gif as I just finished cutting the side panels and floor for the channel. A mild section would look killer with a 2 or 3 inch chop.......oh well I can always use another 32!!!

The channel was easy....I just hated to remove the reveal to lower the body....
