True, but I think the Henerson car has BLC's on it and I just like the look of the stock lights......I can always change them. :)

Lookin' good Tim.  Personally, I like the originals.  If you are going with a dark color, a little chrome here and there sets things off nicely.

I think the originals match the look of the car well, they looked good on there when we were over

Ok detective Tom here, talked to Morie at BTT50's there is a good chance that your frame is from the Toppers car, but the car in the picture......... it's not the Toppers car. He said who owned it but I can't remember the name. Said the car in the pic was sold with the trailer and went out west. The Toppers also had a '32 2door and they replaced the frame, thinks maybe you got the old frame from that car.

SKO and 31Rodder came over on Monday and helped lift the body off again so I could finish up the frame. Yesterday I finished welding the X member and rear cross member in. I also drilled out all the holes in the frame that had been filled. Plans are to start the "body work" on the frame this weekend.

Did you drill out the holes because you needed them or because you wanted the original look?  Or are they speed holes?  :lol:

Yep, original look. I should make a template and sell them on eaby so you can make your repop frame look original.:)

I don't need them at this point but you never know.......fenders are the new fenderless.:)

The frame is in primer and ready for paint. I blocked it out yesterday and then gave it another coat and wet sanded it with 600. After the first coat of primer a crack appeared in the rear cross member that I had not seen. So I ended up grinding it out and welding it up.
