Projects T&A Flathead Builds a '32 5W

Go go go!

 

Put a lot of time in on the 32 this weekend. Had a few set backs I had to overcome and a few more to take care of, like leaky water pumps. But I fired it up and driveway drive it.

Anyone want to post videos of it more me. I can email them to you.

 

Damn it get those pumps fixed and let's drive!! Looks great Tim!

 

Congrats, Tim!

Not too sure 'bout those masking tape numbers, though......

 

Masking tape numbers were for a TROG entry photo only. They are gone already. It will be done with paint next time

 

Awesome

 

What a save....Absolutley awesome car Tim....just proves when it comes to taste, less is more..love it.Great to see the family pitching in as well....thanks for posting

 

Tim, she sure is beautiful ! great job, and the flattened '40 cross-member give the rear wheel with a 7.50 x16 a perfect stance.

 

Looks awesome!!

 

What's even better, the tires on it are 700s!!!! 750s will make it look even better.

 

Cool.
Al.

 

Tim, I never even noticed the rears were only 7.00 , but here is how she will sit with 7.50 with about 3 leaves out of the '40 spring.

 

Tasty

 

my opinion means nothing, but no hubcaps looks sooo much meaner/cooler

 

It would mean something if your name was 5wLarry. Haha.
The hubcaps really change the look.

 

Friday night race night; no hubcaps. Sat. date night, hubcaps.

 

Such beauty in simplicity.

 

Today, Made a floor board and started working on the trunk lid. Also made some quicky seat mounts that turned out pretty good until I can get an adjuster.

 

That boy of yours has a grin as wide as the windshield opening.

 

Did you take 'er for that spin around Platte City?

 

He had been at grandma/pa's for a week and only saw the video of it running. When he got home all he wanted to do was to go for a ride!! He told me when he builds a 32 he's going to paint it blue and it's going to have a big engine. Haha!

 

Not that far yet. Need to get more insurance other than just comp.

 

Kids rule!

 

Cool build

Nice looking car! What size are the front tires if the rear are only 7.00?

 

Fronts are 4.50s. Way to small. I would have never bought them but they came with the wheels. I putting 600s on it this week.

 

Thanks. This was an easy build compared to what you started with.

 

We are headed out Thursday after Sam gets out of school. It's his first day of school otherwise we'd be playing hooky. It will be late Thursday night into Friday morning if we drive straight thru.
