Cool theme! Can't wait to see how you do it!
I get the THX 138 tribute, but do you know what Lucas is referencing with that plate? If not, Google THX 1138, gotta love scifi...

Carl's right, you could go different ways with that name. Sci fi or hot rods and rock'n'roll... either way's a winner

Right, I was thinking that I was going to see a sci-fi themed bike. Still, American Graffiti will be a cool inspiration, as well.
I had thought about that when making the title and know about the reference. Always kind of liked Sci fi themes but the 32 has always been on my list of cars I wanted to build. Even looked at 3 5 window bodies at pate auto swap meet this last weekend.

This will be interesting to see. 
32 is one of my dream cars. Hope to own one someday. I'm sure you have a cool selection of frames to choose from.
Love that car as an inspiration point.
On a side note, I never knew about the THX 1138 movie, so now I am going have to watch it to fulfill my inner geek.

Love the look of a 32, but will never own one. They're just too small for a modern man!
My grandpa is building a 3 window right now and has the molds to build another one but I want to wait till I get my 67 c10 and 41 ford p/u done before I start it.

The Island (2005) is the modern version of THX 1138. Both are good.

AG was like crack to me as a kid, I'm already humming Green Onions in my mind and wishing I had the stash to build a wicked '55 to blow your pedals off!
I got the header plugs out and waiting for that field car, I mean bike.
Finally think I got my frame chosen will post pictures a little later.
