Time to 'fess up...I went over to the Dark Side.
Some time ago, actually.
 Cornering? Not so much. Brakes? Don't make me laugh. But it'll smoke the tires and chicks dig it. Don't worry, I still have the P-car, but it's definitely playing second fiddle lately. And no, I do not watch NASCAR...but I did hang out for a bit at the NHRA Nationals last weekend.

Sweet! Great paint. I've often wondered if it was much trouble keeping that many carbs in synch.

nice! kits are available to easily swap over to disk brakes front and back. cornering? not so easy. what kind of cornering do you need to have in a car like this anyway?

80 year old cars don't need to corner much.
Cool toy. There are some nice guys that show up at the local meets and classic car shows. It would not hurt to put some better brakes on it. Keep the old drums and parts in a box for the next owner in case he wants them. Brakes don't really cost the much and stopping is always a good thing.

Lil Deuce Coupe...........
'32 Highboy with a chopped top, wide whites and a Buick nailhead! Looks great! I'd bet it is great fun for cruzin'. Love the Stromberg carbs. It may not handle or stop well, but I am sure that it makes all the right sounds!

I trust you wear ear plugs when you use that by-pass pipe.
 Nice ride, looks like fun.

I like most any car, but for some reason the hot rods have never done anything for me. Maybe because I don't want any car that I would feel silly being seen in. I am shallow that way.
 Looks like a well built car though.

Too cool! Especially love the Nail-head - don't see a lot of those anymore, not in a Deuce 5-window, not anywhere else.
