Bonneville styled 1932 tudor build

Would like to pics of the roof insert mounting?thanks

 

The roof insert mounts really easy. I just drilled holes through the insert and the wood, and used these cool threaded bolts that I got at the local hardware store. They are aluminum and have a button head on the top.

 

So I've blocked the entire body one time, and sprayed more lacquer primer. Its defiantly looking a lot better now.

 

all i can say is wow..

 

X2 wow wow

Any updates on the sedan? BTT

 

Ya! What pewsplace said. Any Updates Chris?

 

Yep, we're waiting on an update and more pics to right click and save!

 

Sorry guys for the long length between updates. Ive just been sanding when I get free time. But most of my evenings have been working on my motorcycle. Nor sure if its what you guys are into, but I love old vintage cafe racers. So i built a Bultaco. Here's what it turned out like:

 

just wow

 

That's a lot well deseved "wow"s. Bike's rad too.

 

You're obviously done with the '32 and have no use for it so I am going to do you a favor because I like ya. I'll take it off your hands and in return I'll give you a '32 Coupe to WORK on that'll be a a bit more of a challenge so that you don't get side tracked on bike anymore. Hehehe!!!

 

Ya know...I've had just about enough of you and your cool projects and all your talent!!!






I jes wish I could find some time to work on mine.

 

Hey Chris, nothin wrong with a little variety! I love the old odball stuff! As an old Bultaco flat track racer I really appreciate those old Spanish bikes and I'm glad to see you keeping another one alive.

Here's a Bultaco 360 Astro that I raced in the 70's.

And here's a Bultaco 250 Astro chassis that I turned into a real Hot Rod with a Maico 490 motor when I was a Maico dealer in the '80s.

Some alternatives to a tank bladder available in the UK, I've not looked at your thread for a while so here goes, there must be something similar available in the USA.

These Aluminium pellets only displace 1.5% of your fuel tank capacity, may be a cost effective viable safety alternative to a bladder.

 

A little off topic here, I am trying to fit the right wheel/ tire combo to my dad's similarly chopped 32 tudor:

Could somebody tell me what width the rear wheels on this Rolling Bones Car are:




Thanks Guys,
Dave

 

5 1/2 front, 4 1/2 back, lean the posts..VERY KOOL I have two unchopped tudors! Hmmmm!! where is my sawzall!!

 

*walks into thread looking for updates*

 

Update please...pppleasssee

 

Yea....what he said! ^^^^^

 

Sorry everyone that there hasn't been many updates lately. I took on a few side jobs that made me push back working on the sedan. But now most of them are done so I plan on getting back on block sanding the body. But even then there isn't much to take pictures of till its painted so bare with me


The plan is to get the body, doors, hood, grill, and roof painted. Then all thats left is finishing up the chassis which unfortunately takes more money which I don't have much of at the moment. 32' fords are expensive!!!!!

 

there...fixed that fer yas!
