What kinda car? A kit?
Many folks do those '32 roadsters and put "massaged" Chevy 350's in 'em.

A Hall Pantera, no less...but the build was never completed and its all been sitting in a warehouse for about 15 or 20 years..

The intended black final color has been cut in to the interior, glass frames, door jambs..guess I might stick with black.

About all I've done so far is research and parts inventorying to understand what came with this disassembled project and where it all goes...but I had to see what the engine looks like sitting where it belongs.
