Solid info, lot of things carried over through the yrs.

Is it a 32 without the v8? I would think a 31 with a flathead v8 would be all over forums. Never seen one.

Think putting a model a body on a 32 frame, the frame needs to narrow in the front of the frame or you need to add width to the body. But I have not done this.

These are 80 plus yr old cars. sometimes things change over the yrs. Not a capital crime. Well unless you put a sbc in it. hahaha
