Projects '32 Henry steel Roadster build

Some front end detail. I need some sleep and some sunlight to wrap it up. Still a greasy mess, too.

 

Is that some of those Torrington bearings in there? Did you machine the axle or the spindle?

 

It’s the kit from Dennis and Richard Lacy

 

Beautiful collection of restoration of treasured parts, everything authentic. Enviable, this story makes me wish my '27 tub was a Deuce!
(tub sits on Deuce rails, and I'm reading about a real Deuce Roadster! Oh, the shame!)

 

Found this post from searching for Lyons Caps. Are those deuce wheels?

 

16” Kelsey Hayes bent spokes

 

Outstanding!

 

Paul Reichlin of Cedardale Upholstery up in Washington has started my top and interior. I sent him everything and he’s mocked it up on his in house real deuce. In my opinion this speaks high praises of not only the quality but the specifics to a top of this nature for me to go outside of Southern California to have this done.

 

Just last month I talked with a fella from Minnesota who also swore by Reichlin's upholstery work. They had sent numerous cars halfway across the country for his services.

 

Cleaning up brake parts, mating surfaces and Powdercoat (the main chore of late). Started to DA the body and lay down the first stages of mud. Many more to come.

 

Changed to a smaller rear window

 

That is a killer job you're doing on that car. I can't wait to see it finished!

 

Moving forward

 

Awesome build!!!

 

Got a full 8 hours in today. Brakes up next

 

Roller. A long ten hour day. Plumbing brakes tomorrow.

 

Doing entire brake line system today

 

Stabbed the engine in today. Nothing is as simple as bolt it together but a quick mock up is always nice.

 

I really admire your attention to detail. Thanks for posting all your pictures.

 

Looks great!

 

Top notch stuff.

 

...oooooooooooooo...that's purdy

 

It looks like you're re- perpusing the small bracket for the front brake line holder, what was the intended use for that bracket originally? Looks like you're doing a great job.
