1932 Chopped Hot Rod Project Update #4

I have been working on the car as much as I can. Time is pretty scarce. I finally got the front and rear suspension on. Got the brakes all together. Started bleeding them today. Had to change the exhaust that I had already finished because I went in a different direction. Everything is taking a lot more time than I would like. I should know, it always does.

Goddamn man that looks great! I love the color.

 

Thanks for all the kind words. I hope to bolt some parts on the engine and make the fuel line today.

Mike

 

what is the color? awesome car by the way.

 

Looking really good man ,you are on the way and getting close to being in the wind,

We all know how much time and effort goes into building something that nice ..

Be proud of yourself,and just know the pride you'll have in a short time after its on the road...

GOOD JOB.....

 

nice work!

 

that color looks cool.... I dig it!

 

lookin good man!

 

The paint is Hot Rod Flatz deep maroon. I have read a lot of posts on Hot Rod Flatz paint and this is the first time I have used it. I really like it. It sprayed well and was easy to use. I would use it again. I have cleaned dust off the car several times and the pain doesn't scratch up like primer does. The real test is to see how it holds up while driving the car. I hope to do an extensive test in the next few months.

Thanks. This car has been built almost entirely by me in my garage. Some things had to be done outside (sandblasting, machine work, etc.). Sometimes it's hard to stay motivated. I guess you have to just keep plugging away. I can't wait for that first drive!!!!

Mike

 

You are totally going to make LA Roadster show no problem. Lincoln will have to get the first ride right?

 

Can't wait to see this one in the flesh sometime.

 

Congrats... you have a very nice looking car.....

 

I don't think it will be ready for the Roadster show. Lots of stuff going on now and watching the "little one" takes a lot of time.

Mike

 

Lookin good. Keep up the good work.

 

Great looking car! I really like it -- simple, clean, pure hot rod....


Malcolm

 

Most excellent.

 

What is the rule for the La Roadster show. Can you enter a 32 powered V12 engine hot rod flat black that has been powder coated in the show. Please let me know.

Frenchy

 

What a beauty!!! Nice workmanship......

 

In the preferred parking or swap space it would be fine. In the roadster parking area, the car has to have shinny paint and an interior.

Cool beans.Is it gonna be running for this summer?
Here's a before pic of mine and I hope I can post a runner pic by August.
