swapped around body parts?
« on: August 05, 2012, 07:13:52 pm »
i`ve been noticing alot of pictures of 34 chev/ flat top coupes with 37 fenders,hood,grille. what gives with that? i thought they were spose to look like and/or be ran as they are sold. i understand if you arent running inex events but some of these picts were from the big 100,ect.

You can mix front end parts, i have a 34 coupe with a 37 front end, the 37 front end gives better cooling and our races are inex sanctioned

You have to run the complet front end. Total coupe, total sedan. In other words the hood, grill and front fenders have to from the same model. Inex rule book!

Also, one less piece to buy if you switch to the 37 front end after a wreck

well i have the 34 ford so it doesnt matter to me, and i would agree the 37 chev frt end is diffinately the best for cooling. i just thought a 34 was spose to look like a 34 and so on and so forth.
