The re-creation of the Vulcans 32 Victoria

So cool that you are recreating this car. I have been a fan of your metal work as well and love my shirt that bought from you guys at LA Roadster show this past year and love looking at what you guys bring too your booth every year. Please keep the updates coming and are you going to be at LA Roadster show again this year?

 

outstanding indeed!!

 

I am not a big fan of Vickys, but the craftsmanship and the overall design of the car are truly amazing. Thanks for shring.

 

This is going to be amazing, I'll be watching.

 

Damned impressive Jeb, in every fashion and form. Yours is one of those rare posts that inspires, humbles and gives faith to this old man. So, here you go Jeb, I'm giving you the keys to Traditional awareness and execution. I am confident that you will make us all proud.

Chevy Jack (hamb member) is an original Vulcan member, he and the vulcans had visited Bill Workmans shop a few weeks ago to witness progress. he started a thread that some may have seen some may have not. here is the link.

A few pics of the car put together in further mock up with primered body at Bill Workmans shop

 

Wow, brilliant workmanship, and very nice cage too. Looking forward to the updates.

 

Good one Jeb. You deserve al of the noce comments.

I had the good fortune to see this car during the different phasses of Jeb's build and it is even more impressive in person. Of course I am a little biased because Jeb built my 36.

By the way Jeb, you need to start a thread on the rehab you are doing on my 5-window. If you guys look closely you will see it lurking in the background of quite a few of these photos.

 

Impressive work!

 

I've always loved the looks of that car. You sure are doing a great job recreating it. Can't wait to see more!

 

Thanks Checkerwagon, your words are to kind but much appreciated! Ill see what i can do. Gota contact my buddy and get him to do it for me. im not computor savy. I just swing hammers

Thanks for the support Ron, Got a great one that will hopefully be ready at the roadster show this year. Will be in the swap area. This vicky is a meer warm up for the one im working on now! Will post pics when ive made more progress

Acme-It was like rehab.......... for Charlie Sheen! we'll see, let me think about it. dont have a ton of pics to choose from.

Awesome! Could not have picked a cooler car to clone.

 

Looks amazing Jeb!

I already told Jeb this, but my Dad told me a couple of years ago that he saw that car in a junkyard in Long Beach in the late 60's-

Times have changed!

 

damn nice work

 

holy crap!

 

oh wow that things awesome

 

I am one of many old guys here who remember the original, the color really stood out at night, and it was loud! The workmanship on the new version is really outstanding, wish I could see it at Bakersfield (heading off to the Middle East instead).

 

Will you be using the same tank updraft carbs that caused the strange intake manifold? I loved this car. Very unique.

 

I was the starter at lions and I remember this car very well and I can say that you could not do a better job then your are doing bring a part of the early day"s back. great job.

This is the neatest build I have seen in a while. Great car to recreate, may be the best looking 32 victoria ever built( it is in my opinion).

 

Yikes!!! This gonna be a KILLER build!!!

 

I believe there was a thread on the hamb about the body being in eugene oregon area and there where pictures from what i remember.

 

Tommy-yes, the car will be running the updraft strombers from the WWII tank. the carbs are the original carbs from the original car. Tom (original vulcan member) had them. he traded them to ed isky a long time ago and a few years back went to ask about them and isky still had them, he gave them back to Tom, Tom has donated them to Bill for the greater good!

larry- wow! i bet you have some awsome memories of an increadable time in our race history! Thanks for the suport, if you have any pics or stories of the car please share!

Couverkid- yeah, it very well could be the car. Bill and a few of the Vulcans think so but... Since this car is actually gona race and has to meet the rules of 2011, and the improvements that the cars need now running tires that hook.... having the original sheetmetal and old chassis vs price the man wants for an old race car didnt add up. The vulcans are in full support of bills project. It would be neat if someone restored the actual car but the vicky was a race car then and its gona be a race car now. Its all steel and its mostly Henry metal..kinda!

 

Fantastic job. This always was a great looking car from the photos I´ve seen. Your new version should be very special.

 

Love the work you have done,Jeb. The craftsmanship is amazing.Cant wait to see it done. Maybe CHRR?

 

Does anybody know who in Eugene currently owns the body?

 

I have been refering to a picture of the original car in an old Hot Rod annual as the car I would love to build, but probably would never get a chance to. I absolutely love what you are doing. Can't wait to see the final result.

 

JEB, as I have always said, you are the Greatest. I have always loved your work.--TV

 

I just got finished painting the car. Beautiful color. This one's going to be nice! Dennis Ricklefs is going to stripe and letter it then it will come back for more clear. I'd post pictures but I don't know how. Damn computers. Hey Jeb, go over to Bill's and snap some pics and put em' up.

 

It just aint fair I tell ya...........your skills are beyond words..........I wish I can have your talent....
