32 Ford chassis - back to the basics w/ LOTS O' PICS

There is going to be a lot of chrome on this little Ford. I wasn't able to get as many pics as I would have liked, but this should give a good idea. The radius rods, front axle, unsplit wishbone, and rear axle halves were like polishing an engine block, a really old, weathered, and rusty engine block, lol. Despite my whining, I think they came out well.

i really want to see this car when it's done.

 

Thanks for the pics Josh. The chrome looks great in person, and I look forward to working with Dave on getting things rolling as well as getting some more chrome to you!

 

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Is there more chrome to be done for Dave's 32?

 

...wow!

 

I cant say for sure, but I think thats the plan. We have most everything to get it rolling now and that will be the focus... there are other projects here and their that have surfaced and pushed this coupe on the back burner, but this latest batch of chrome got us fired up.

Some of the parts are different from the ones we used in mock up I believe, all and all though, Dave has a very nice collection of original parts. Its been fun and quite an honer to have the opportunity to "play" with that stuff. I tried to leave as much original material and work on this thing to retain some character and soul, even though everything will be freshened up.... make sense!??? ha... anyway thanks!

Glad you like, thanks for lookin!

 

Re-reading this just made me sad. Rest in peace, Mike.

 

Nice work. I can tell this ain't your first rodeo.....keep the oics comin'

 

I hear yah - was such a shocker to see him gone . . . so damn fast! He was always nice to deal with and had a very bright future in this business. Hope you're looking down on us Mike - we miss yah!

 

Too true Brent. May we rejoice in the memory of Mike and be in awe of the skills he displayed in his oh-so-too-short life. R.I.P.

 

I was shocked when I saw this post back up but glad to see progress with the build. Mike sure had amazing talent. R.I.P.

 

No way I loved the work going here RIP !

Looks like this car is up for sale in the classifieds? Someone with the means should really make this thing happen. Some unbelievable work here... RIP, Mike...

Very sad.
