Hot Rods 32 ford 3window, day one

Thanks, I'm just hoping it doesn't look like every other 32, without losing the sinister good looks Henry ford gave it.

 

Exactly

 

No progress this weekend. I had to get a 55 olds ready for paint. Oh well at least I was banging on rusty crap!

 

Well it will never be as sinister as an M-1 TANK

 

I guess the Willys is done, I may have missed that part, like I've only just found this.
Carry on Sir.

 

I get it. Only took me about ten years. I mean, I knew his name, but . . . never mind. I'm in.

 

I was wondering just when you would jump in on this one......Some cool ass beans right here...

 

Holdin' ma breath!
That should give Jim time to even stripe the dash!

 

the willys is running and driving. Needs paint. im kinda burnt on the willys and thought this would be a nice break.

 

I m dealing with the same kind of stuff

good luck to you

 

I need a break like that, but I'll make do with watching yours.

 

Can't wait to see what ya got in the last few days Jim....Man you sure move quick..Where did you come up with all the 3 window body parts? I never see them any where these days....

 

In the last 2 weeks I didn't work on it. I had to finish up a 1953 sedan delivery, and the paint work on a 70 chevy truck. Got back to it a little today. Squared it up a little and started cleaning up the chop, and getting the insert to fit.

 

Looks great!

 

Mocked up the motor.

 

Gives a pretty good hint of the look you are gonna go for.

 

Whoa!

 

Yea, I'm kinda going for a 70s street car, Friday night drag car. I got some old 2 piece centerlines, or maybe 5 spoke magnesiums.

 

Sounds like a hellava good plan to me! Lookn' forward to your progress.

 

Jim,
Do you have any pictures for the look and style your going for?
Sounds like something I would love.

 

Great job in bringing one back to life......
"ZlicednDicedstein" for 17, I dub thee.

Keep up the great work. Happy New Year!!!!

 

I'm kinda modeling it after this, but with a dark maroon metallic paint and steel wheels.

 

Looking great Jim.....Keep posting photos as I love what you are building.. This is what I started with & the finished coupe. 327 with a 5 speed and quick change.

 

Good choice, that's Chris Andrews car in Texas.

 

If that don't give you inspiration, nothing will.

 

That is a great little car there. Makes me want to get mine done!

 

Got a little time to work on the car. It seems the whole world was watching a football game so, I had some time to myself.

 

Got a set of nos airheart discs for up front, also got a set of old chromed headers from a friend. Slow but sure it's coming together.

 

all i can say is Awsome..!

 

I'm loving this build, so far I've got a hurst motor plate, cool old chromed headers, airheart brakes, a real dropped and drilled axle, a 4/71 blown small block, with early double bump heads,an old ansen scatter shield, a 57 ford 9 inch and a pair of 15 inch magnesium Americans for the rear. I'm looking for some 5 spokes for the front. I love gathering the right parts and watching the car kinda find its self.
