Features Newest Rolling Bones Car - Tom McIntyre '32 3W

I was checking out HEMI32's post about the 990 'Goldenrod' streamliner and wondered if the discussion would get to Tom McIntyre, and eventually it did. He asked about starting a thread on his newest car, this '32 3-Window just completed by Rolling Bones.

I saw it at Bonneville this year (as did a million other people) and here's a couple of pics I took of it. I didn't get too many photos of it as I was interviewing Tom (who has had an absolutely fascinating life, by the way) for a feature in an Aussie magazine.

 

If anyone has a good picture of the aluminum bellypan, they should post it... its a thing of beauty......

 

hell of a hot rod.. the bones sure do some amazing work

 

Pics don't come up ?

 

.

Here is one I took in Ohio. I went down to hang with the Bones guys on their way to the salt.




The car is awesome. I agree with Andy regarding the belly pan. It is Awesome.

 

I met Tom and had the privilege to see his private collection in 06 right after he acquired the Williams Brother's Roadster. He is a great guy!

 

Tom is cool. I can tell ya, this car rides like a cadillac too, no rattles/squeeks/shakes... smooth as glass. red ram hemi power too!

 

Sure is a beauty !!! So simple and clean. Hope to see some of the Boners' cars this weekend at Ty-Rods. They always draw a crowd.

 

Man when they chop a top!!!!!! can anyone say mail slot?

 

very cool hot rod

 

Nice car! I'd like to see some belly pan photos too. Bob

 

Here's a couple shots of the belly pan on Tom's hot rod

 

It's a killer car, and they do nice work. But the car was chopped when Tom bought it, before the Bones crew got it. Everything else looks amazing too.
They may have tuned up the chop on second thought. Been a few years since I've seen the body.

 

Here's a couple more

 

The car was not chopped when we started , it was BUTCHERED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Love the windsheid treatment,has like a 34 look to it without jumping out at ya.nice.

 

Lol, sign me up for one of them there butchered 32 3 windows and call me Sam.
Looks great.

 

Amazing Hot Rod, wicked proportions !

 

Always good work from these guys. Good looking coupe.

 

EVIL.................In the best kinda' way!

 

PERFECT as usual !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

After running down I 80 with Tom and the Rolling Bones bunch for right at 1000 miles on our way to Bonneville I can tell you this new ride of Tom's is one BITCHEN HOT ROD...It looks better going down the road. Shake down run was from NY to Bonneville to Cal, with no problems. Tom loves it, and the Bones boys just keep raising the bar with every new build.

 

I had the privilege of seeing the Williams Bros. roadster when I dropped in to see the Rodder's Journal crew back in '06 while on holiday with my family. Steve Coonan gave me one of the test Polaroids.

I was also amazed to find out he owns the Penske-Donohue Sunoco Camaro, which blew my socks off when Hot Rod featured it with the tri-fold poster back in June '88. Twenty-five years ago and I remember it plain as day. He sure does have an amazing collection of cars.

 

Really like that steering box bolt tunnel feature in the frame. Details like this are what make a great build. Bob

 

Wow, uh, wow!

Tom is a true car guy / hot rodder , he flew in two days before we left for Bonneville , drove his new hot rod around the block a couple times and then headed west with us . He spent the weekend in Bonneville and then headed for Pebble Beach where he raced his Donahue sunoco camaro and his Mickey Thompson #3 corvette . Then he jumped back in his new hot rod he drove home, 3250 plus miles total . We'd say that's a good maiden voyage for a brand new built hot rod.

 

Did Tom run the Corvette at Lime Rock, Ct. on the Labor Day weekend? Thought I saw it in the Edelbrock pits. Bob

 

this car doesnt suck, great looking car and stance

 

I know he raced one of them there and will race at Watkins Glen this coming weekend.
Here's a shot of Tom runnin' with the pack on the way to Bonneville
