That's quite the compliment, thanks! You're absolutely right, you can't really tell from pictures how bad a body is. I learned that lesson on...
Ok guys, I'll give some explanation..... The firewall is set back 5". I love the way a factory deuce firewall looks so I cut it out and shoved it...
Yes sir, they're Pro-Tracs. I wanted something tall but not too wide. I really love the way they look! Haha, that's my buddy's garage. My shop is...
I haven’t posted on this one in awhile but I’ve been hard at it. Here’s a bunch of images…….with no explanation! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Wow! Amazing transformation, great job. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thanks, I hope my Tudor ends up half as nice as your coupe. Will do on the updates. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Yeah, I’m running hood sides and didn’t want to cut them for the valve covers. I think it ended up about 5” back. Good thing it’s a sedan,...
I’ve got a little more done on the sedan. I bought this Nash Metropolitan dash when I first bought the body. I needed a little change of pace...
Damn! Those bedsides look great! The whole damn truck looks awesome. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Good for you, happy to see the coupe and more importantly you back in good shape! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Loudbang, Yeah, this is the motor I’m running. I haven’t said much about it because all though it looks traditional. It’s not a H.A.M.B. friendly...
I finally have my own shop with my project in it, after way too long! I moved the 32 over here about a month ago. I’ve been working on getting...
This is always an interesting question. I’m in the same boat. My 32 Tudor has a lot of “Henry” steel but also a lot of help from UPAC, howells and...
Not sure if this will be helpful because there’s not much stock left in my setup. Here’s a couple of images of what I did. I removed the wood...
Amazing work! I love watching this one come together.

Very cool. What’s the story on the body, where did you find it? There’s a lot of wood in these. What’s the plan? Replace with wood or steel?...
I like it and the metal skills are amazing! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
31oval, nice car and it sounds like you got a great plan. There's nothing wrong with a 327 and a 4 gear. As far as wheels, I would guess you...
[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] It’s not an A but here’s what I’m doing for my deuce Tudor. It’s just 18 gauge formed on my brake,...
Looks great, Gary. Keep up the good work. I agree with mounting the motor up high in the chassis for the right look. I’m going to do the same...
Congrats on the find and buy. What a great story. Looking forward to watching this one come together. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B....
I did mine this same way. [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
One last update, then I’m moving again......for the the 6th time in 5 years! The updates will slow a bit until my shop is ready and I get the 32...
Update time.... I've got the passenger side roof, door, and drip rail caught up to the drivers side. I de-rusted my set of 25 louver hood sides...
Looking good, glad to see you're making progress.
I figured it out. I didn’t realize the frame is supposed to fit completely inside the reveal. I was comparing it to my 34 truck which fits on the...
I could but I didn't want to cut it up if somebody else could use it like it is. I thought about this too. Ok, I did look at some online and...
This is the windshield frame I got with my Tudor body. It seems way too narrow. There’s about a 1/2” gap down the pillars. Help me out deuce...
Another point of advice I would add. Make sure you know when it's time to drop the fight. There's no need paying more in lawyer fees than what...
