    Windshield is powder coated then assembled. Thanks go to Dick Rodwell for handling that for me. Wheels and tires are stock '33 17" in the front with Firestone ribs, rears are 18" ford that have been widened 1.5" on the backside running the 8.20 by 18 Indy tires from Coker.

    I would guess about 1" from left to right. Hardly noticeable until viewed from the side. It's the one thing Henry overlooked in '32. Curves everywhere on a '32 EXCEPT the windshield !
     
  5. My 62 Bel Air wagon is somehow not as cool to me after seeing this! Well done! Would love to see some video of it getting wind in the grille

    In a traditional world that is a breath of fresh air, it's so spot on! Everything is so simple and traditional, that it sets it apart!

    And for the love of god; no rust, no faux patina and no part is seen/no part is overlooked.
    It flows in too a flaskesag and complet car.

    And although it's a black car i don't see anything red on in! Odd and perfect ;-)

    My driving force is to get at least one thing done a day (no matter how small). It helps to have friends to tell you how lazy you are if you don't !! LOL

    I like how low you are sitting - killer

    What's the details on the black paint?
    Brand, #, single-stage, etc...

    I guess there are many schools of thought on paint. I use PPG products on all of my cars, simply because I'm familiar with their products, I get a discount, and it works for me. Having said that this car was painted with PPG Deltron Base Coat , then topcoated with PPG's new Glamour Clear. Lots of suspension parts are powdercoated. Tried something a little different on this car, some of the powdercoated parts I topcoated with Clear and they really popped when I did that !

    Big difference, new metal vs rusty, roached out, pitted, stress cracked, welded up and patched together, "somewhat" original tin with a bunch of thin spots ready to bubble up through your reproduction paint job.
