Projects 1932 Chevrolet coupe build

Looks great!
Gotta love when it's that close to pulling the trigger!

 

Every time you update us I have to go outside and look at my 31 shell out by the garage. Someday it will be my open air car all because of you and your pops Ben. I have been inspired!

Thanks I appreciate it!

Oh yeah no doubt! Hopefully work and life won't get in the way of a smooth finish

Thanks that means a lot! You can do it

 

Ben, coupe looks super, gap around your doors and body is great. Having been the owner of a 32 Chevy sedan (with all the wood) for 20 yrs, yours is a knock-out...Jim

 

Thanks Jim who knows how long those gaps will stay good after I start bangin those gears but ya gotta drive em!

 

Wow dude LOOKS GREAT !!! Love the molded in Chevrolet script on the rear !!
Nice touch !!!

Very nice Ben! Great fab work. Can't wait to see it rollin'

 

Thanks man that script is off a 6 cylinder valve cover. What day you coming up to Knoxville? I'm leaving from work on Thursday so should be up there around 8:15 PM eastern time!

Thank you!

Preciate it I can't wait either!

 

Look's good Ben,,so you gonna drive to blue Model A to the Knoxville show? HRP

 

Yes will be up there in the Model A. You figured out what you're driving yet? Gonna be a meet and greet or anything? Hope we have good weather, I'm driving the car to work tomorrow and taking off straight from work. We are staying at same hotel as always, right up from yall on the hill. See you there!

 

Awesome, Always progress thats quallty work! lookin good.

 

Ben, looking awesome man. Keep it up!

 

Quality work and what a change.

 

Great work, love the colors and the fabrication. Cant wait to see it done!

 

Well, I don't know how I missed this thread but I did find it and just burned an hour reading through it. Time well spent on an amazing build. Many compliments well deserved and what a great job. I won't miss this anymore and can't wait to see more of your progress. You and your Dad are one hell of a team, nice to see.

 

Thanks for all the kind words and compliments guys! It has come a long way and I'm ready to get it together and finished myself! Hopefully by this time next year I will be tearing up the streets

 

UPDATES!?!?! Saw you updated hamber members on F/B..

 

Damn man...been a while! Looking good!

 

Haha yeah I was just seeing if this guy would talk shit. Thinks he runs the group and knows everything there is to know about traditional rods and customs. I was just in a feel good kinda mood

Thanks, stuff has slowed up here lately though. I have moved to Huntsville, AL and been living in an extended stay hotel. So pretty much no time to work on the old cars Should be closing on a house down here this week though so hopefully things will slow down soon!

 

Now that's how you do it!! Great job.

 

Hey guys sorry it's been a while! I've had a lot going on in life here the past 6 months or so! I have moved from TN to AL for a new job and that has taken up a lot of my time. I did get to make it to Louisville for the NSRA Nats, but drove the wagon instead of the Model A. Went to a big show (1400 cars) down here in AL and won Best in Class with the Model A and Dad got Top 5 with his '34! Been trying to get a garage built down here so I can get my coupe and tools down! Here are some pics, enjoy!

 

Congrats on the win. Love the wagon, wish I had one. Guessing the shop is 30'X40', about the same as mine. Seems like every time you turn around your moving, looks like a nice place to be..Jim

 

Nice shop! Looking forward to seeing more progress on the 32.

 

Thanks and yeah it's a 30x40! Hopefully I'm done moving for a while!

Shoot me too!

 

Got the fuel line run this weekend. Didn't have much time, trying to get everything packed up to move to AL. Here's some pictures...





this will get cleaned up, just have it like this to get it started. hopefully soon!

 

Looks good Ben. HRP

 

Yeah looking good...Jim

 

Thanks guys. I'm gonna see how this copper does. Read and heard different things from different people. I had it though so I'm gonna use it.

 

Question for ya.
Is where the rubber flex line meets up with the hard copper line inline with the muffler on the left side of the car? I realize the odds are low, but there is still a risk of fire fuel by a leak there.. again I do realize the risk is low, but just something to think about.

Great looking work as usual, congrats of the shop!
