Stan Betz 32 sedan (now with pics)

Now that's what I call pedigree. HRP

 

Thanks for the photo. I hope you enjoy the car and drive the wheels off it. I love sedans with history.

 

Like the "Roof From a Can".

 

the roof is wood and fiber glass with a cord from a house light to fill the void no welding or cutting at all just pop it out and put the soft top back in it

 

I thought you would have it running and driving by now.. LOL

 

^^Roof in a can or wood, glass and electrical cord........hmmmmmm.....

 

very cool indeed!

 

The early work done on the car is good , like the chop and some of the frame stuff.
I would say it was done buy a very young Stan Betz and some of the work was done later like the top fill and the cowl, fill not so good. The good thing is what was done is easy to fix thank god they didn't have a wire feed welder!

Marvin I think you sould start your own thead. It would be fun to watch,some of the old guys were good craftmen and some were not ,the same thing as today.

 

any info or pics?

 

Very cool score.......Got to love those deuce sedans. Keep us posted

 

Btt for the evening crowd..

 

Very cool

 

Wow, look at the fuel injection on the flathead... Stopped by Marshall's and saw this....

 

very cool hot rod

 

we just pulled all the brake stuff off and are rebuilding it ,and i picked up the cam and lifters yesterday for the new motor and sould get stated on the motor monday

 

I'll follow this build !

 

I remember that pic from the old Street Rodder mag. It was described as being long on motor and short on looks, (I think) and also mentioned the latest thing - 39 juice binders.

(Or something like that - this is genuinely from a distant memory).

Mart.

Edit - I went back and checked I got it pretty well right - isn't it funny how well the memory can work.

What a great car to be fixing up.

 

Mart what mag was that in?

 

Street Rodder - October 1975.

(I didn't remember that, I went back and looked at the scanned page earlier in the thread.)

thats cool, makes me feel good to know my old duece beater 'dont need no stinkn paint job'. Those old beaters were built good and raced hard. Bak then you could make a 'sleeper' but it had to be built right, Stan built them right, and fast. I even got the wide 5 brake drums.

 

where are the front fenders? bolt em back on and the grille too!

JEFF

 

the fenders are going back on as soon as I get the motor back in it

 

I found some good parts at portland today

 

did you see the gut selling 32 stuff by that Ford woodie by expo hall ? Didn't think you were going...looked like he had nice 32 gas tank... Save $$$ for that manifold !

 

Way cool Marshall
