Ryan fords 1932 roadster build update.

Nice! Another great example of how caddy lights add a certain something to a project. The build is great and you doing awesome. Thanks for posting. Kinda helps me with my project even though it is a much smaller build. LOL. Keep up the great work.

 

The rounded bolt heads are a great solution, sorry i wasn't able to get the rivets to you in time, The old man does have them though if you want to get in touch with him.

Looking good.

Gday! Im up in Newcastle NSW and building a very similar car!! Mines orig 32 body & chassis with flatty 45 merc brakes ect... '35 Wires. Hope your not painting it washington blue!!! Looks unreal! Cant wait to see it someday! By the way you dont know of another set of 32 brake/clutch pedals do you?

 

Only thing is that all the rest of the 750,597 cars that have Caddy lights have '59 tail lights!

Good to see some variation in taste!

Don't take me wrong, '59 Caddy tail lights are just plain kool!

MORE PICS AND MORE COMING. MORE PARTS FROM THE US! GETTING CLOSE.

 

Nice fuel lines Ryan. Push on....not long now

 

Hey Ryan, nice fuel lines. I really like the upper curved sections. Very cool!

 

cheers guys!

 

Nice Ryan, Copper lines look so cool.

I notice you don't have a Looped line between the Fuel Pump and where it would attach to the Fuel Hose coming from the Tank. This is usually done to take up any Flex and vibration between the motor and the fixed line on the Chassis. Have you considered this or accomodated this in any other way?

 

cheers mate, yeah there is a flex connection in the k frame with an in line filter.

 

Those Copper Lines look reeeaaaal good!

Nice gas tank too.

Looking forward to seeing the progress at Chopped!

Nice! I'll be following this one. That's what a '32 Roadster should look like.

 

MORE PICS! HEADLIGHTS! BRAKES ARE ALL DONE & WIRING TIED UP TOMORROW. TURNED THE MOTOR OVER YESTERDAY BUT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT MY OIL PRESSURE. I'M GOING TO CLEAN OUT THE GAUGE LINE AND TRY AGAIN. ALSO HAD A MATE HELP SORT THE BOOT LID, WELDED UP A SHIT LOAD OF CRACKS AND BEAT IT INTO SHAPE ( CHEERS SHANNON). MORE SOON. CHEERS

 

I love this roadster!

WELL I GOT HER GOING IN TIME FOR OUR CHOPPED SHOW. NOT FINISHED BUT GOOD ENOUGH TO DRIVE! THE MOTOR SOUNDS GREAT AND I HAD A BALL ALL WEEKEND DRIVING AROUND THE SHOW IN IT. NEXT I'LL FIT THE FULL HOOD AND FULL EXHAUST I HAVE AND GET THE THING READY FOR REGISTRATION.
- CHEERS

 

Man, thats a nice looking car, you keeping it without fenders??

I hope so, thats about as good as it gets, I reckon

 

Damn fine looking machine Ryan! Good times ahead.

 

Very nice looking roadster.

 

cheers guys, i had a phaeton rear seat in it for the test drive that's why the doors are sticking out but man the feeling of driving it around on a sunny day with the family on board was overwhelming in a great way!!! and yes i will be running it without fenders and a full hood with cut outs for pipe clearance.
cheers

 

Great job and nice car!!

Congratulations

 

yeah i'll have them on for a day to get it registered.

 

That's the spirit!

 

What's with the camera man? Reality TV show?
