There's a big difference between "hot rodding" and street rodding.

A mildly warmed V8, all early ford running gear, mech brakes or a sympathetic conversion to hydraulic would all be in keeping with the survivor aspect of the chassis.

Just because it is rare doesn't mean it needs to be restored.

In reality you'd have to restore the frame before you can even think about how to build it.

Even sticking with a mildly hopped banger would make it a load of fun. Think light weight open wheeled roadster, something that would scoot without having to go mad on the engine.

The frame could be brought back up to a roadworthy standard and ran as a mildly modified hot rod. Importantly though, all that can be done with a perfectly stock 32 frame. 30 years from now someone might take it and rebuild it again back as a stocker.

I'd love to do something with it.
