I’ve had this picture for a long time. I don’t remember where I got it but the chop looks perfect to me and I’d like to know how much it is. My...
Looks like an LS to me.
For the metal work you could try checking with Austin Speed Shop or Martin Bros. Customs. I’m sure there are others too.
Just a guess but I’ve seen some Vintique parts with similar markings.

Much better looking than the previous one. I always thought they were hokey looking. I run Texas YOM plates on mine.
Not a fuel cell but I used a 14 gallon tank from Tanks standing up in the front of the trunk which allowed me to maintain a decent sized trunk....
I’ve got a ‘32 roadster with a 3” chop and no wiper and a “32 5-window with a 4” chop and a single wiper. Personally I like having a wiper on a...
When it hits it hits pretty hard. Usually at highway speed.
Anybody out there know of a good spring shop in the Austin/San Antonio area? I have a Model A style spring and need the eyes on the main leaf...
I’ve got Cooling Components fan/shroud units on both of my ‘32’s with 350 sbc’s and they keep them cool even in 100°+ Texas heat. They both have...
I don’t remember how long I’ve has it but my Makita has been solid for a long time.
Good looking Tudor. I had one for over 40 years. Great car.
Not on a sedan but I run the same tire on the rear of my Deuce roadster and my Deuce five window, both hiboys. I run 28 psi in them both and have...
[ATTACH] I like mine chopped. Tudor 2”, Roadster 3”, 5 Window 4”
A piece of indoor/outdoor carpet with a “rubber” backing works for me. I got dark gray and you can’t even see where it drips. Cheap at Home Depot
Have you checked valve adjustment? It could be something as simple as a loose rocker arm.
Beautiful.
You would be better off to find a ‘33 or ‘34 dash and design your plate to fit.
@krylon32 are you using a SW GPS receiver with a Wings Speedometer?
I have a Wings electronic speedometer in my coupe connected to a Tremec TKO500 with an integral electronic output. It calibrated perfectly the...
I can’t help with the car in question but just for reference this is 4”.[ATTACH]
Skinny fronts, fat rears.[ATTACH]
I doubt there is a kit for it but going from a rumble seat to a trunk shouldn’t be terribly difficult. There’s no room for a second seat in the...
[ATTACH] ‘32 Texas plates are an odd size so I made a bracket to mount it but I used Rivnuts to attach the bracket.
Looks good.
A lot will depend on how much you chop it. The heavier the chop the more involved and difficult it becomes. It also depends on the body...
WOW! That’s scary. Glad to hear he’s on the mend. Thanks for letting us know.
I have 1932 Texas plates on both of my ‘32’s. As stated above, I was required to have both plates in hand to register them and they looked in...
