Bonneville styled 1932 tudor build

It's already been said a thousand times but what a great build !!! I read in there somewhere Chris that you are going to make a trailer hitch mount. Seeing the work you do I'd bet you could design a cool setup where the hitch mount served as a Push Bar mount when you're not towing since you're not running bumpers. A Push Bar would look cool on the back............

Fantastic job !

 

Mr "Salt Flat"
GOOO FER-IT! 5 1/2 FRONT...........3 1/2 REAR, Make It A-Goin', Sittin STILL!

Great Project! Love tha' Flattie! Wow...........!!

"Smoke", in tha' SMOKIES

 

That's my exact idea. It will have a push bar on it all the time. But it will slide out and then I can slide in the receiver for the trailer.

 

a trailer hitch?? whacha gonna pull with her??? (a teardrop??)

 

My bultaco motorcycle, if someone doesn't buy it from me first.

 

I love old Bultacos! Chris, what model do have? Pursang? Alpina? Sherpa?
Or my favorite, an Astro short tracker like I used to race!

Man, I can't get enough of this car. It's awesome!

 

Its my bultaco metralla.

 

Now that's COOL! I think you should keep it!

 

I almost bought a basketcase Metralla about a decade ago, but passed on it because it was missing the tank, figured it might be pretty hard to find one. Cool little bikes.

 

Really cool thread/build.

 

Hey Chris,
this build is awsome...was lucky to see it at last year's "Bonneville open door party"...hope to have a look again this August!
That is gonna be a killer sedan!!
wow,
Peter

 

First time seeing this thread. Wow! That is probably the best Deuce Tudor I've ever seen in the history of the world. Very nice indeed!

 

What's the latest update Chris? Get any time off the Model A roadster? haha

 

I had a blast building the bike, but if I sell it then I will have all the money I need to finish the sedan. I would much rather have my sedan to drive than the bike.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Im glad you were able to make it last year. It going to get it as far done as possible for my open house on the 10th of august. Hope to see you there again.

Thanks, I tried my best to get all the proportions and styles just right. I'm definitely happy with how its turning out.

Im still on the body work. Just one more blocking session, and then I can be ready for paint!!!

 

How's the '32 crackin' Chris? Any updates? We'll take anything. haha

Still doin' your Bonneville Speedweek Open House this year!?

 

Im wet sanding everything as we speak. So I should be spraying paint within a week!! Ill post pictures when its got color for you guys.

Ya im doing the open house again this year. Its on the 10th of august. Here are more details:

Should be neat to see your sedan painted!

 

Finally on the process of painting. Got the doors painted this morning. Ive got the rest of the body to wet sand, and everything else is ready to go. I love this color!

 

like the color,been waiting for update.it's going to be a bitch'in car

 

Oooooh, that color is rad! I dig the "paint shop" ventilation setup. haha Can't wait to see more!

 

Colour suits it perfectly, nice one

 

Ive been working like crazy getting the rest of the car painted. I got the body, hood, and grill painted the other day. Then I had to mask everything to spray the belt lines black, the teeth of the grill black, and the dash and firewall black.

 

That color is awesome. I'm not usually a fan of the beltline being a different color, but I think it's going to suit this car perfectly.

I'm mega stoked to see this thing put together.

 

Soooo, sweet.

Rich

 

Been a while but I'm glad you updated! Looks good!

I am getting excited to see the final result. It is turning out great Chris!

 

Awesome color.

 

I got the black painted today.

 

Man - just when I think I can't lust after that car more than I already do...... Along comes perfect paint.
