Hot Rods After 53 years, Its mine

The Title may be a little misleading, Im not even that old.
I met a fellow through a friend about 10 yrs ago, and he had a 32 Tudor that he bought in 1960 just after high school.
He was working on it a little here and there and almost had the chassis done.
He just sold his house and is moving into town for his retirement.
He doesnt have a shop or anywhere to keep his 32, so he contacted me and my Dad and I bought a bunch of parts and new steel etc.
AND .......
He didnt want to do it, but we struck up a deal on the 32, just got it home yesterday in pieces, today I bolted it all together to store it for a while, there are a few cars ahead of it now, so it will have to wait.

Here are a few pics I took today.

 

Love it, congrats

 

That's an unusual looking front axle. Was it fabricated?

 

hell yeah,nice

 

Amazing!

 

Love a Deuce sedan! HRP

 

You know you have always been so impatient!! Congratulations. I like those Tudors.

Nice.

 

It's amazing how many of these cars are coming out of the woodwork..

Sadly,, many are from guys who died or are going into nursing homes etc-many owned these cars for decades.

My brothers neighbor died last year, 78 years old and none of his kids wanted his rods..all are gone now including his beloved '33 which he had since the late 60's...dispursed to the wind.

 

Very nice! Love it.

 

love those tudors, congrats

 

Great score...

 

Congrats!! I wish that I had enough cool stuff that that could wait.

Great find Kelly, you have good luck with em!

 

Looks like some kind of a home-made twin I-beam....

Way cool car!

 

Congrats, thats a sweet ride for sure!

 

Man that car is perfect

 

Great find, pretty solid.

 

Beautiful. Looks like no rot to deal with.
Hell, that car was only 28 years old when he bought it. Would be the equivalent to buying a 1985 model car today.

 

Very nice find.

 

Very nice find Gotta love those deuces........

 

Awesome, solid find!

 

Nice!

 

Envious!!!! Congrats.....

 

I wouldn't know what to do with a car like that. I'd probably pour a box of table salt into each door bottom, quarter bottom and cowl..... then turn the lawn sprinkler on it for a month while giving it baseball bat love taps. Then at least it would look like all my other project cars. Congrats Kelly. You always seem to sniff out the good stuff.

Interesting factoid..... daughter #1 gets married tomorrow..... I'm not allowed to wear a car T-shirt. Can you imagine me not wearing a car shirt??

 

Kelly, you know how to find them. Congrats! Hope to see you at Deuce Days.

 

Oh shit!

 

The fellow that I got it from had some sort of welding business, so he fabbed up a home made twin I beam front susp with small coil overs.It is a very cool set up, but I dont know if I want to use it or not???
I like the old beam axle set up myself. ALSO, IT HAD A SMALL BLOCK CHEV IN IT, BUT I THINK A FLATHEAD WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

Congrats Daryl, you know you are getting old when your kids start getting married, Im happy for you guys.

Yes Steve, we will be at Deuce day in my Dads truck again, hope to see you.

The 32 sedan is the best body I have had, very minor dents, and the only rust is in a wheel well. Needs a little floor work, someone cut a secret hiding spot in it.

Hey man, circle of ridding.
We're caretakers. Otherwise the next Gen would keep hotting up jap shit and plastic cars.....

I'm 44 and if my daughters don't want to do burnouts in my hotrods, then someone thankfully will.

OP- that's one he'll of a score man. Exactly what I'm looking for to stash away til the 58 is done....good on you man!

 

Hey great deal kelly, nice find

 

Move that to the front of the pile. Let the others wait . Ha ha
