MARK JAMES.1932

5 WINDOW COUPE

It  is a 1932 5W coupe and was a 3 ½ year garage build.

 351 Cleveland,C4 stage 2 shift kit

31 spline 9” with billet axlesRodtec IFS front end Triangulated 4 bar rear

I initially bought the chassis and body 2nd hand from a rodder in Melbourne. These were manufactured in the mid eighties from what I could find out, when I had the front screen made by Redfox frame he could not identify the body manufacture.

The build was in a suburban double garage that was also populated with a motor cycle and machinery, I always seemed to be moving stuff around, having to make several trolley’s to wheel chassis, body, engine etc.  to weld or grind.

I was getting frustrated with the build in the final year as I could not see light at the end of the tunnel along with whispers of rego rules changing weekly.  I am happy that i completed the project but I don’t think I would undertake another full build.
