Report from the shop, some more bling-bling

While all my hot rod friends were at the Puyallup swap meet this weekend, buying '32 grille shells for $50.00 etc, I was slaving away in the shop. ​

While I still am having some carb issues, I just wanted to hang some more vintage bling-bling, the most satisfying part of any build, in my humble opinion. Well, that, and the first test drive ! ​

Anyway, I straightened and polished the 75 year old head lights to the best of my ability, and after installing the grille shell, spreader bar, cowl band a more complete look is emerging:​

Man, you have done a super job on your car Rolf. So refreshing to see something built with such attention to so many details. Great work man

 

LOL, you're one to talk!!! Which one are you the pot or the kettle?
ROLF, keep 'em coming. You have been working on your A for a long time, I'm so happy for you to see it finalizing itself in history!

 

Fuckin nice.

 

Looks real good Rolf. I don't know anyone who walked with 50.00 32 shell. The fellas said there wasn't much there....

How's the shop coming?

 

I see the cotter pins in the tie rod....now that's a good idea!
Did you talk to anyone about the "green" glass?
Can't wait to see the burn out video !!!

Thanks for the inspiration and new pic to hang on my wall!

 

Every inch a HOT ROD!

 

AWSUM RIDE.

Continues to be the top inspiration ride on the HAMB for the build of my own 30 coupe with a nailhead. Hope I can do half as good a job.

PS what are your front shocks from? Make, model, etc. Look like they would be the perfect fit for mine.

Hands down, one of the best build projects EVER on the HAMB. Thanks for sharing each step with us. You should be able to enjoy the fruit of your labor for many years to come. BTW, keep the pictures coming.
