History i just posted some pics of my 32 racing in the 1950s

hi,
still sort of new here as far as posting

i just added some pics of my 32 when my uncle owned it racing in the 1950s

i hope you enjoy them

they are in my album

thanks

 

Very cool! Thanks for posting them. Nothin like family history.

 

pics of the car today, i finished it about a month ago

 

Lookin' good!!!!!

 

Wow, that is a great looking car you really did a nice job on it. The old photos showing it's heritage are great too. Is that the same engine or did you have to replace it?

 

here are your pics

 

That's cool as hell...

 

Incredible!!! How much was the hemi set back to clear the hood? Great looking car!

 

hi all

thanks for the kind words

the engine was set back abour 4" or 5"

i wanted some legroom so moved it forward and left off the hood sides

my uncle had problems with the hemi in the early 60s replaced it with a 413, i put another hemi back in it

the car still has the same headlights, sw wings gauges, club license plate, spare tire + cover, and some other stuff from the orig 50s build

it still has the 1956 participant sticker with his name, car class, e.t. and speed imprinted in it from when he competed at the 1956 us nationals in kansas city

he and the car are listed in the program

thanks

 

Yikes!


Great pics, thanks for posting them.

Mart.

 

That is sooo cool!!

 

Damn... that is REALLY REALLY AWESOME!

 

very nice car ,thanks for sharing

 

Thanks!!! I was thinking of setting back my hemi in my '32 when it gets to that point so if 4-5" is what it take to clear the sides that doesn't sound too bad. I'm still up in the air whether it'll be a HEMI, 301 Chevy or a flathead but this definitely get's me leaning towards that Double Rocker! Great car and awesome history!

 

Too Cool!

 

glad the car still belongs in the family! great history. thanks for sharing!

 

That's so cool

I agree with the most used word in this thread; Cool.
Cool car, cool history, cool pics and cool that it stayed in the family!

 

I love the Hemi and the vintage pictures are awesome !

 

thank you for sharing with us here on the HAMB, very "cool" !

 

Very cool to share those pics.


Your profile says "East" for location, so maybe I will see it someday at a show.

 

im in delaware and went to the jamboree at the fairgrounds in harrington, + some other local shows + crusies.

i havent been real far with the car yet

 

cool thread

 

Thats really cool nice car then and now thanks for sharing

 

I'm curious how you have your steering box set up with the engine set back?

 

i dont know as that setup had been changed by the time i got the car

 

Big mopar what a ho hum duece.

beautiful old piece of history my friend. Keepin' it in the family rightious.

I gave a double take in your album at that black and white with the fella standing in the rumble seat. In the thumbnail it looked like he was taking a leak, I had to open it to check.

If you want to post those pics in a thread just open the tumbnail in your album and the bottom box has an image tag it will say Copy and past it right into the thread. bam it will link directly to the album and open full sized in the thread.

Anyway too much info cool car.
