    Looks fantastic. Will you keep it bare metal or will you paint it?

    OK, so i got some more done. Did the door tops and finished around the cowl. A quick dash too. The whole car is roughed in and tacked together. Needs a lot of welding,grinding and love...(mud) Time for a new owner. Portland CL next week. Ray

    How many $$ ? Will you make any money ? Whoever buys will have a lot of finish work to do.

    I'm still amazed at this.

    Will you include these extra interior panels in the sale at the current price?

    Good luck on the sale. I was hoping to see it finished. Maybe a HAMBer will buy it and finish it so we can continue to follow along on this one. Excellent work!

    really?? I recognize the amount of talented work in this thing, but it's not a 32 ford and still requires a TON of work to finish. doesn't sound like anything you bought for a 32 ford would fit it. you can buy a brookville for around 10k can't you?? that 4k difference would be eaten up quick trying to finish this and custom make parts to fit it. :confused:


    not knocking the builder at all, it's amazing work that I truly appreciate. I can see the point if you build and finish it yourself, being able to say you did it.

    It's as much a 32 Ford as a Brookville or fiberglass bodied one will ever be.:D

    Ask the builder those questions, not me...I don't know how accurate his measurements are...but I do know that anything other than an original 32 Ford is not a 32 Ford, it's only a copy, good or bad.:)

    Sounds like a couple school girls going at it. I built the car as a fun challenge not to make money or promise anything.. I have built 3 different type "glass kit cars" Nothing fits and are all a bunch of work . Thats how you learn. Ray in Or

    I would kinda like to do a 60's road race car
    I built a glass 65 Shelby daytona coupe and didn't fit at all in it but sure was cool.
    I need to make it bigger for my 6'7" body. Ray
