Hot Rods What's a 32 Chevy worth?

Yes, frame built first, then tin nailed on.

The reason I have never wanted to try rewood is simple; if I get the angle wrong when I assemble the A or B pillar, you can't add wood back on to change the angle like you can with steel replacement.

I want doors to fit exact, gaps to be perfectly straight, and I don't think I could get good enough with compound curved pieces with odd angles. With steel, I can fix my 1/16" errors without starting over with another complete new pillar....and hope it will be right on 2nd try.

I've done two 32 Chevys now ,both with wood rotted beyond repair ...put steel in them both.. While it was a huge pain in the ass ,I suspect 1/2 the work of re doing the wood ...maybe less..

 

I like your vision. I'm working on a '32 Chevy and a small block barely fits into the narrow engine compartment. I want to keep the hood sides intact and I don't want the motor in the cab with me.

 

Hubba hubba!^^ yes, my idea would include losing the sides, Id keep the top,though.

 

Looks like this. Chose wood instead of steel for my '31 Pontiac.

 

I fart in your general direction for thinking I don't know what the wood structure in an early Chevrolet looks like.
