Hoffman Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Phil, I stumbled onto your chassis this morning while just generically searching for Deuce chassis images for a roadster I'm working on. Wow!! Fantastic work. Love it. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatout Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Beautiful work Phil…the more I look the more details I see. I’m gonna have to use(steal) your method for spreader bars on my next Deuce build! It’s almost a shame cover it all up with a body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 That is really something Phil - first class effort! Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
