Great looking combo.
There is a prewar Ford COE near me that I keep eyeballing. Still has the flathead in it.
Are you going to radius the rear wheel openings on the Gasser, and what are you going to run for a power plant?.
Keep at it.

Cool

I like your rides, man. I especially dig the COE. Not a lot of em around. The chop looks really cool, too. I look forward to following your build.

Torchie Yes cant wait to get sawzall to it,just got straight axle under it gotta figure out steering. i like original but steering box on wrong side of frame.

Nice. Post some pics when you can. A well set up gasser straight axle should steer just fine. What are you using for the front axle?
