1932 Ford roadster from scratch

You're a mad man.

A MAD MAN!

 

They are two piece and some filler. I roll both edges of each part through a bead roller and run the edge through a shrinker. It makes a nice roll on the inside and is easy to weld and putty. The tough part is the 1 1/2" draw on the rear section where it needs to make room for the tank. I just cut a slice and rolled the edges in at the slice and filled it in with some scrap.

 

Put me down as one who'd like to buy this based on your 25 cent an hour price!

 

cool your at it agian,good luck..geterdone

 

The door skin is kinda on....it will be made in two pieces. I junked the first skin. I will rough in the big panels and tack, screw then on and pull a line down them for the style lines etc... ................Getting frustrated

 

walk away till you cool off then come back to it , your work is insperational , i wish i had half of your tin building skill , keep up the good work

Exactly what he said.

I've gotten so disgusted with a project before that I had to let it set for a couple of months before I could even think about picking it up again.

When I was building that chassis I did for my 36, I fought with the bottom main tubes so much that when I got them close, I just threw up my hands and walked away. It sat like that, with just the four main rails bent up and tacked in place for over a month before I could stand to look at it again.

If it's pissing you off, take a break. Build a birdhouse or something, or go chase women, whatever.

I started building an english wheel when the chassis pissed me off.

Ironically, I went back to work on the chassis when the english wheel pissed me off . . .

 

Built the trunk frame,driprail and skin. Moving along.

 

This project is too cool to stay pissed off at it for very long! Looking great as usual !

 

I subscribed, awesome work. I wish you luck

 

Wow, fantastic work.
Very inspiring build. Very much looking forward to watching this develop.

 

Subscribed!

 

Because i'm a mopar guy i can't help myself. I understand if you un-subscribe. Ray

 

You work fast! And neat. Still subscribed!

 

Working on some other stuff this last week but got a little done. Starting to think about some style lines, using scrap stuff i kinda start working things out. Ray

 

Ray, Body is coming along real well. Love the deck lid ! Those louvers sure make the body look more like a Hot Rod. Good work, keep the updates a comin' !

Dave

 

Nice work

 

Great job...love the louvered decklid subscribed

 

Great project and great job...keep on bangin!

 

I just got both door skins roughed in and thinking rear quarter panels. I will be happy when all the big stuff is looking OK and can start to weld and grind. Tired of thinking.........it hurts

 

Ray, Just thinking i could buzz over and see what it really takes, to beable to do what ur doing, and the tools ur useing...Im over here in the tricitys Wa. how far are u away??

 

I'm in Beaverton a suburb of Portland, Nothing special here for tools, Cheap ass english wheel and beadroller and a big hammer. Learning as i go and making lots of scrap metal. Ray

 

Working on some wood stations for the rear quarters. Made a polly templet off another car to help with the shape. Still at it!

 

Still on the rear quarters, hope to get more done today.

 

I am a 32 Ford lover ever since I could drive, about 45 years ago. You have a wonderful talent and I look forward to the build.

 

A little more done on the hips. 5 chunks down the back. Fill some more in soon, Ray

 

Starting to look like a car Ray!!

 

looking good! and love your coupe!!! nice !
