Projects The New 5 window Deuce Project ; Chebby that is.

She arrived today and is nestled into the shop for winter. With plenty of plans for it, the first thing to do is study.
I plan on building it old school with nothing newer than 1963. A hopped up 235 Maybe, a 265, who knows. Full fendered for sure. Right now its a blank canvas while I start setting a plan.

 

Koool. I love it. its gona be cool no matter which way you go

 

Man, that is a great start. I have dug those hood sides since I was a teenager.

 

Nice looking car!

 

What a nice solid looking Car to start with.
I love the outside of your Shop as well!
Good Luck with the build.

 

Nice find and a great start for your project! Good luck and keep us posted.
Tom

 

will be watching closely! nice car.
my 33 chevy build;

Great, good luck with it. I wish I had done more planning with mine.

 

Nice looking 32 Chev coupe, Fred. Coincidentally there is a good one for sale here locally now.
Look forward to seeing the project come together.

 

Just like with its Ford counterpart. the 32 Chevy is the high point of good styling in the 20s-30s.
Beautiful car, even as it sits. Good luck, it looks solid and I hope the wood is good.

 

Cool, another old Chevy!

 

I looked t a few around bc, found this one in Alberta.
I missed out on a 33 3 window coupe and a 33 sedan delivery. The guy who bought them scooped them , actually stole them. What he didn't know is the woman selling them is raising money for the legal fees of a double murder suspect with anger issues... his case has been apealed.
Sometimes karma come looking you you with a double barrel shotgun as in this case..

 

The wood is intact less the floors. I see a combination of replacement wood and tubing coming.
Come spring, the first thing will be dismantling the body from the frame, soda blasting the frame and reconstructing it. Learning to mate the right backing plates, spindles etc. allowing me to keep the stock axle, researching if i can keep stock steering when converting to a 265 powerglide or updating to a 235.... so many things to put together before pulling apart. It's not like there's a Tardel how to book on this build.

I love the side vents as well. First I thought of running without sides but opening them up and getting the peek a boo affect is as hot as a pair of great legs in fishnets. The sides stay.

 

Looks pretty complete. I haven't seen a '32 Chevy for a while, they are nice old cars and should make a slick hot rod.

 

Great find.

 

great start - since Ford guys put Chevy motors in theirs guess you will be running a Ford -Ha!

 

Neat!

 

I'm thinking a pinto motor yeah.

 

the steering box should work, the tranny will be behind it. if you check my thread you can see how tight the engine will be. i have some extra 32 steering box parts, i was collecting pieces before i took mine apart.
i restored all the wood, except the piece under the deck lid and i added steel to the back side of most of the wood supports.
a prebuild is a good thing, then take it apart to paint.

 

Thanks mate, I won't be into it till spring, maybe a 283 will be in its future.

 

I used an aftermarket dropped axel for a 50 chevy pickup, stock shocks, and stock steering box. Worked out great.

 

Looks like you have a solid starting point!

 

That is a great start. I'm not a big fan of gas tanks in the trunk ... but with the rear fenders bucked up ... I wonder how badass a tucked rear and bobbed fenders would look? Either way, I like fenders on a Chevy too. Good luck, and get going.

 

Please keep pics coming as you make progress.
Been working on mine for years, love the 32's

 

Love it, the other 5 window!!

 

Logride, That's one sweet ride! 32 Chevys are cool!

 

Here you go Joker. This is what a 78 year old Ford guy does when he buys his very first Chevy.

 

Katuna - flat out Cool

 

My buddy, Bob's 32 with a 261 chev/T-5. It's now finished.

 

Rocky,
I think we need more pictures, thems just teasers...
