That's a challenge all right. Looks like you have it well in hand.

I am continually amazed by the talent on the H.A.M.B.!

 

2 1/2 channel is just what my car was built with back in the day, and it doesn't hide the beautiful reveal in the frame. Good choice!

 

You may be slightly insane,but then we all are to some extent. I will be following with great interest.Please have someone inform us if you are committed to institution

 

I like nothing better than to see rusty junk built into a cool car.

 

I am glad you decided to build it Pete. Looking forward to seeing this come together

Looks cherry to me! Go man go!

 

Love these types of threads, inspiring, subscribed

 

hot damn. I'll follow along.

 

A pal loaned me these chopped windshield frames years ago..

I'm thinking the 5" chop cream colored one.

 

Way to go Pete! I like the 2-1/2" channel and I love jigsaw puzzles.

Good Luck....Following...Another one being saved!!!

 

Can someone give me the stock quarter window height? I have chopped ones but have no idea how much the chop is.

Mine measure about 9-1/8" inches tall

Thanks.

 

Oh, and a stock height windshield frame,,, tanks

Glad you kept it and are underway with the build, sure wish I'd keep my Vicky project. Bob

 

Bader....thanks dude!

How about your quarter Windows.?

 

Great headway , keep up the good work!

 

Dude, it's a metal '32! It's a big job but I think most of us are a little jealous. Nice progress so far.

 

Doin great! I wish my 34 had been that solid when I got it...seriously! This is how my 34 ford coupe started out! No body at all, just an old buick cowl with a homemade "woodie" body on a gennie 33 ford coupe chassis.

 

Wow, this is going to be interesting. I am watching

 

I am always amazed at what the love of an old Deuce will make men do. Congratulations on your will and skill to save this poor old coupe.

 

Stock quarter window is 12 15/16"

 

Atta boy, Mr. Peetah!! You've got VISION, my boy!
Another cool save from "hot rod hell".
You are under observation.

 

Damn Pete... Your projects are making me jealous. I'm sure this one will turn out equally badass...

 

Thanks for encouragement fellas.

So it looks like my roof is chopped roughly 4 inches. That's a start... Lol

 

Rocky, I remember that plywood woody from way back!

 

Personally, my vote is for the second windshield, the all brown one.

Maybe leave the doors unchopped and bring the roof down in front to match your chopped windshield?

The donor roof ^

Amazing to me that somebody many decades ago, did a nice all metal chop, but then at some point, the hot rod was left outside to rust away. I do recall the days when these old coupes were not worth much at all, as the muscle cars were starting to appear at car showrooms.
