Great Idea when one of my adult children died the local hot rod club -of which I am not a member - sent me a card . It meant a lot 2 me .

Really dig gin this one , headlight location , those other small lights , great travel on the shocks all helping to set off that chrome grill shell . And those running lights never ever have seen that set up before . This one really floats my boat for sure Went back for a second look, twin...

With 4 1/2" of clearance you are probably getting close to your scrub line clearance , I am sure you know that but the OP might not know about SL

Empire State Building , NYC , Finished 1931 can't make out any other buldings .

Do not see any safety railings so might be before hard hats and OSHA The one vertical pc of Iron looks like it has rivets .There is what looks like a stiff leg derrick off to the right . The scaffold is inside the building and its base is more than one floor down Don't know how whatever is in...

Now that's what I call "laying frame". Super sweet rod .

A really respected rod builder , who posts on this and other sites once said " there are some parts you make and some you buy ".

All things being equal the 14's will give you a 1/2 " front rake and will hardly be noticeable . I run used tires on my hotrods = cheap and I never put enough miles on to justify the price of new ones .
