webestang Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 A buddy here in old St. Lou calls me "The Duce" since I'm such a crazy car guy. I tell him someday I will build a Duce, so I figure I'll do a scale model of what my 1:1 would look like. 32 Ford, Pacific Blue, white interior, Flathead, white walls.
squirrel886 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 .....can't wait to see this build in progress.
webestang Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 Should be a fun build. Thinking a few 37 Ford PU parts.... wheels (not going big/little's), dash, steering wheel, headlights-(body color/chrome trim rings). Stock hood with no sides. Piston shifter knob. Some speed goodies on the Flathead....Nice and clean.
Daddyfink Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Sorry, but do you mean Deuce, as in two, or Duce, like Benito Mussolini?

Daddyfink Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 BTW, are you going with whitewalls or the kit wheels and tires?
webestang Posted September 3, 2014 Author Posted September 3, 2014 BTW, are you going with whitewalls or the kit wheels and tires? Not using kit tires/wheels.....Going to use the 37 Ford PU wheels/tires/WW's.

webestang Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Trying to cut the 37 PU dash to fit....? Test fit the Flathead.....
webestang Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 Some cutting I had to do......cut the cross member into 3 pieces, flip the trans-mount around and glue back together to accommodate the shorter transmission....I'll have to drill some holes and add studs on the side of the engine and it should slip right in there. Oh and I'll have to make the drive shaft longer.
