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.

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.

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.

You ain't the only one... Born in Arpino Italy.. :rolleyes::)

Molto bene ...........Grand Pop came over in the late 1890's from south of Milan. I have yet to learn the language.....

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.
