Inching forward to the next milestone...what a fantastic adventure it continues to be...thanks for the detailed traditional build...

Congratulations. So Jerry not being a builder myself is this midway or would this be say more like 2/3 done? There is no doubt it's a notable milestone.

Your enthusiasm in your last statement "Down to the Bones!" highlights a big hurdle leaped and it is.

I really enjoy the building stage (especially cool in your ambiently lit shop) but the clean, shiny and painted stage is going to pick up steam now...and this is going to be equally exciting to witness...bring it on Jerry...thank you for sharing this.

 

Amazingly well built setup. I would love to have a car like this someday! 1932 5W the way it should be done! You may be a music teacher, but you sir, are also a top tier car builder. I can't wait to see this car on the cover of several magazines!

The frame looks awesome as well as very robust. I'm sure it's camera angle but the grille shell is full height correct?

 

Yup..full height

Got some epoxy primer on the frame today. Next week it heads out to the body guy for body work and some color. It was a real bitch getting paint in all the nooks and crannies of that X member without running the paint, but I lucked out and it came out okay.

Nice job on the frame!

 

Koz and I swapped some labor time awile back. I punched some louvers for him and he milled out some holes in my 32 heavy for the project

You should have an eye protection warning before showing that bling.

 

Got the frame to the painter's shop. Bodywork started on the firewall and grill shell

Picked up this cool gold glass rearview mirror with a clock. Not sure what it's out of but it's neat

That mirror is cool! It will be a nice detail nobody else has.

 

Frame cleaned up and another coat of primer on

Jerry you left a number of holes unfilled on the rails in the Cowl and fwd Quarter area. Are these for potential future considerations or just to retain a more raw Hotrod look?

 

Is this clock electric and functional? As said yeah that is pretty darn cool.​

 

On a real 32 frame I am not a fan of filling those holes on the side I actually kind of like them. The holes on the side of the frame rails and other miscellaneous ones I welded shut.

Picked up a load of parts today from the polisher. The headlight light bar came out really neat.
