Projects '32 Henry steel Roadster build

A year ago I ventured into building a 1930 model A roadster on '32 frame rails with a 59ab flathead. About as soon as I had it dialed in with the hopped up motor and got a new seat in it, my time was done with it. I sold it and galloped on over to the Kennedy Brother's bomb factory to purchase my new project: an all original Henry Ford steel '32 roadster on an original frame. This is just the beginning but I thought I'd start a new thread born from my first thread. I will post as I can as I resurrect a my '32 in a very pre-war fashioned build, 21 stud and all.

 

Very nice. Congratulations. Will be watching.

 

Butt shot

 

Cool - Congrats

 

Good for you. I would like to see more photos. Side views would be nice if there is room to do that.

 

That's really cool! I agree, do you have any more pictures?

 

More pics will come. Parts collecting for now

 

Congrats, great project.

 

Very cool Eric. I'll be watching.

 

Have fun and enjoy the process as my wife always tells me!

 

Just got dropped off today

 

The start of the lump

 

I consider this gas cap a neat little eBay score

 

Car is stripped and ready for metal work. Gotta do some repairs on the door, drill out the holes and rivets someone welded up on the frame and few other odds and ends. Still collecting but the project is moving along

 

There is no way possible to do this build in a garage that clean...what year is the early VW in that pic.

 

It gets done
It is a 55

 

Here's a shot of it

 

Nice...softheart for old VWs. First car 56.... My dad was the 1st certified VW mechanic in the US back in the early fifties while working for Otto Zipper in Beverly Hills. very nice

 

Maybe have mine there next year

 

Picked up some needed and spare parts this week

 

You are one lucky dog for sure.......Would love to have that project setting in my shop. But you just don't find the real deal steel ones in Nebraska.

 

Been collecting parts and mocking things up. Pretty close to metal work time. Have a few rust issues to correct, parts to fit/adjust and to drill the holes back out on the frame that were welded up by the previous hot rodder. The project has kind of turned to corner into a build nicer than what I had initially planned but I guess that's what happens when you don't roll them out of a barn, right?

 

It is a real one and it deserves to be as nice as your skills permit....

 

Original parts are tough to get squared up at times

 

Ya man, I was doing the same thing today!
Looks like you got it all lined up and looking good.

 

Smiles all around this is what makes this sport so good! You are the envy of a lot of us, I'm tuned in and watching this build!
