Well it has been a while since I have posted on this site. As of today the entire chassis is done and the engine has been installed I am now waiting for the body to return from the powder coater ( Flat black )I will be posting more pictures once I have the body installed. You can also check out my web site and see at the bottom pictures of the 1932 Hot Rod. Thanks Frenchy Frenchysrides.com
The body is been powder coated in satin finish ( Flat black ) The following parts were powder coated as well= Rear end axles housing,rear and front backing plates,front end,chassis,V12 heads ,generator , starter ,radiator rear shroud, and other parts. I will e mail more pictures later. Thanks Frenchy ( Doc Detail )
The last few pictures I posted are showing area where a stainless line is been use for the brake light switch wire to be feed into. The other one is near the rear leaf springs same application for the fuel tank sending unit wire going into a line to keep it clean and simple. Thanks Frenchy ( Doc Detail )
At the front I have 5.00 / 5.25 x 16 and in the rear 750 x 16 Firestone on all four. Thanks ! Frenchy ( Doc Detail )
Does anyone knows how to go about someone from the magazine to look at a project and see if it is worth to have it published. After the car is done I would like see an article done on the car. Thanks Frenchy Doc Detail
Why not write the article yourself and submit it for punlication. Lots of the stuff in car books is sent in by freelance writers/photographers. Write or email each magazine for their submissions information. Follow the directions for word count and photo specs. Don't ever send the same article to many magazines, you'll never get another one published if you do and more than one buy the piece! Most have a section in their contract about duplicate submissions to different publishers.
As soon as I get the body back I will be posting pictures of it. Also tomorrow I will post better pictures of the engine on the frame the garage picture is too dark. Thanks Frenchy
Will I would rather take your wife for the first ride. After this she will never ride with you again LOL. Frenchy
You know Robert Smith of Hot VW's magazine, he knows everybody in the publishing industry. You are not an unknown quantity, start spreading the word, or contact fellow HAMBer Jim A (Jim Aust) he can probably get you some ink.................. The car is cool by the way!
lookin good ! are you using a repo body to be able to powdercoat it ? would imagine it would have to be straight and rust free
Its a re pop from Rod Bod out of Nevada. I went over the entire body to make sure I took care of any imperfections. For now it will be OK but if I decide some day to paint it than it will have a good base coat. Thanks Frenchy
I have updated my website with additional pictures of my 32 Hot Rod project as of today where it stands. Thanks Frenchy ( Doc Detail ) Frenchysrides.com ( Web site )
Here are a few more pictures of the Hot Rod Lincoln engine and transmission installed. Now waiting for the body to be powder coated. Thanks Frenchy ( Doc Detail )
Here's Charlie Ryan, the writer and his, original, Hot Rod Lincoln. Check out the long hood and the forward placement of the radiator
Thanks I met Charlie Ryan in Phoenix about 10 years or so he had his Hot Rod Lincoln at the world of wheels on display. Thanks! Frenchy ( Doc Detail )
