Hot Rods 32 Roadster Body - a new approach. AKA Beetledeuce

We LOVE Volvos.....
"The Saint"

 

I loved this build. Would love to see it with a chassis under it.

 

At this point I’m wondering if the project has been abandoned.
Too bad if that’s true.

 

I thought he sold the body?

I remember he was having trouble keeping a place to work on it. Would sure like to see to all together. JW

 

Wow! Two years since the last update, seams like it was only a few weeks ago. Sure was a fun project while it was going strong.

This should explain it. JW

 

Hi Guys,
I wish I had an update for you, but I don't.

As you may remember, I lost my workshop and with nowhere to work, I decided to sell Beetledeuce in the hope that someone would carry on where I left off. Since then I have lost touch with the guy that bought it. I do trawl the internet from time to time in the hope that it may reappear, but so far there has been nothing. I fear it may be languishing in the back of a garage somewhere.

On a positive, I feel I achieved something special which went far beyond what I had hoped for at the start.
Maybe someone else out there will be inspired to have a go at their own Beetledeuce MkII !

It's a shame that the project just disappeared,this was a amazing build. HRP

 

Well if you ever need a metal working "fix" come on over to BRITISH Columbia. You can have a go at some of my needs. I'll put you up. After work we can toddle off to "my local" and quaff a few. You'll feel right at home with the rain we've been having!

 

Haha....You never know Fella, I might take you up on that! Although I can do without the rain.

 

Can the magic of the hamb bring the new owner and our wanting readers together, so we can all see whatever happened to the little beetleduece ?

 

Who knows......perhaps he's a Hamber and will read this one day... like a message in a bottle.

 

Have you sold it?

Did i just feel a sting of Jalousie, for a guy I don’t know selling a body I been lusting after, to a guy I don’t know?

I know I’m weird, but Dang I liked that body!

 

Maybe.... Gent spent the quiet time finishing it up!
Maybe.... he got tired of taking pictures!
Maybe... he is driving it around all the back roads right now!
Maybe he is creating more installments of
a story that will out-live all of us!
Ain't this great!!!!!
Just sayin'!

 

maybe you should read the whole thread.

 

Yeah that's it !!!!!!
English gent was just fooling us

 

tb33,
Respectfully,
I have followed the thread since the beginning.
I just threw out a little speculation I thought
might be humorous. I am hoping just like many other
followers that this project does reach a finished state.
I am in sympathy with Gent for dealing with the loss of his
work space and hopping he can soon set up again and continue.
I don't want to hijack the thread.

 

Uh, he did say that he sold it!

 

That was the epitome of creativity and resourcefulness.
I just hope the project didn't take a left turn like many do in cases like this or worse yet languishing in the back of some dusty barn, it deserves better.
Hope it surfaces.

 

He sold it

Once again it’s appropriate to tell you to be current with what’s going on before you post.

 

Maybe I meant continue to show his talents
in metal crafting on a new project...

 

OK

 

Maybe.... Gent spent the quiet time finishing it up!
Maybe.... he got tired of taking pictures!
Maybe... he is driving it around all the back roads right now!
Maybe he is creating more installments of
a story that will out-live all of us!
Ain't this great!!!!!
Just sayin

Yep ok
Gotta love it

 

Whew! Tough crowd!!

 

all done with smiley faces and grins.
busting balls is a sign of friendship.

 

It's all good!!

 

Mentioning it turning up finished somewhere, I just hope its not on a VW floor pan or on a Triumph Herald chassis. JW

 

Don't worry Volvobrynk, I'll make you another one!
