NOW THATS FUNNY!!! This thread needed some humor.

 

I love those headers. Nice workmanship.

 

It really is a beautiful car,but IMO a full fendered deuce needs the stock gastank and frame horn covers ,engine looks to "blingy",needs hood sides,oops,did I just discribe the Doyle Gammel coupe ?!

 

Great car glad to see they got it back.

 

This car is beautiful and the paint is to die for, but wouldn't you know it would be a '32 Ford.

 

Great looking car. Trailer queen it to some shows, win some awards for your efforts (check writing skills), and then drive the shit out of it.

 

I love everything about it. It screams badass to me. I would love to own a car that nice someday. Some of you guys should set your goals a little higher than a beater farm truck with some made up speed shop lettering on it. What do I know though?

 

^^^^^what he said

 

I am constantly amazed at the responses made here about someone's pride and joy. I've read them all...the positives and the negatives. Some of you should be ashamed of yourself for blasting a well thought out and highly crafted piece of jewelry like this coupe.

So what if one hot rodder has more money and vision than you...it's HIS money and HIS vision. Don't bad mouth him, be glad that this hobby attracts the money and talent to create these one-off cars. It creates ideas and pushes guys to do better with their next build.

If you suddenly won the Lottery and had all the money you would ever want, you'd build a badass ride like this just once, just to say you did it...you're lyin' if you say otherwise.

 

That's the first '32 3 window I've seen in a long time that makes me wish I had kept mine. I also think there are some who wouldn't know a hot rod if it ran over them.

 

Man, some of you really feel there was a bash or put down on this car.

 

Funny, and true.........

 

While the workmanship and execution is incredible here, the final statement of the this particular car does very little for me. That is just my view, which with $1.79 will get you a cuppa DD coffee. I don’t think I’m “jealous” or “right” or “wrong.” Everyone has an opinion, and apparently it is okay to voice one's on this forum. Most of the time I choose not to do so.

That said, the only people truly “qualified” to offer opinions, (for or against,) the design/execution of any given car are those that were in the builder/owner’s head when the car was being conceived. Clearly this isn’t possible, so we may need to do the next best thing: keep an open mind and consider all of the factors and variables that were present whenever the car was being built; as well as the builder/owner’s perceived “goal” for the car.

Keeping an open mind is hard for some of us folks, (like myself, that pretty much knows everything there is to know about everything! ) My two cents.

 

Again, let me say....an AWESOME car...without question


I guess I would draw MY line here......

Would my kids run towards it to touch it and get a better look, coz it's gourgeous

or

Would my kids run away from it, coz it's downright scary (and not coz it's ratty)????



I just kinda think that this particular car is slightly more in the former, than the latter....

Again, MY opinion/viewpoint etc

I know a 63 year old bloke here who has nearly finished a fenderless 32 with steelies and 20+ year old white walls, 6 carbs on a Y-Block, painted "Battleship Grey"....so simple....but Downright NASTY. Kids won't go within 15 feet of it!

I'll have no pics until it's all finished I guess...

Let me try to find some pics of Badass...

 

I think these are more BadAss than Pretty;

 

Well said larry......I would just about bet that most of the guys talking bad about this car, are the type that think the more rust holes you have in your ride ,the better....Or they are just jealous as hell!.....personally the car is not quite My cup of tea, But I would never bad mouth something that nice and well built. As far as it being a 1-800 car, I don't know.....Maybe but the craftsmanship here is top shelf......just my 2 cents

 

I led the hot rod of the year tour with Bill Goodwill from GG riding shotgun. I won the first one in 2006. Blew up my trans at Muncie dragway this year, but got to see all the cars run down the road. 41 cars[13 in 2006, probably 20 when 3WLarry competed in 2007]. Some home built, like the pete and jakes 32 sedan, my favorite, some pro built. Guess what, they all ran down the road, went down the drag strip, and everyone had fun. I wish this three window would have been with us, nice car for sure, and would have been the only 409. Theres always next year!

 

let's see now, two groups of Smiths, one in OK and one in North Texas , both
with a Jason in the family and both have '32 Fords stolen. Looks like a really bad episode of twilight zone, or parallel universes LOL....did the 32 panel stolen in Texas ever get recovered? By the way it is a very nice ride and glad it came home safe.

 

Man, that black roadster IS badass! Love the green one too..... BTW, your kids wouldn't be so scared of the 3W 'cause it looks like rootbeer candy, but it's still "badass'd"!

 

Perfect!

 

It's good to see varying opinions. If we all shared the same opinion, we'd all be driving the same vehicle with the same engine, the same trans, the same wheels, the same tires, painted (or not, lol) the same color......etc. You either like it, or you don't. No one is right, and no one is wrong, imo.

 

Well put Rooman. Joeys car certainly is all hot rod and the 32 more street rod....but there are lots of boats to float out there...I'll take the nailhead just like you

 

I wholeheartedly agree.

As for myself...... I was responding to what I feel was a couple of rude, uninformed comments. I probably won't be apologizing for that anytime soon.

Vive la différence!

 

I am disappointed, I was expecting to see a pic of that orange S-10 thing with the track nose in this thread....but apparently you are talking about a different kind of bad.....

 

well said!

 

As my late mother would say "Some people's taste is all in their mouth".

Roo

 

I always LOVED Rootbeer Floats.

Nice Ride.

Luck to have her back.
