1932 Ford roadster from scratch

You know, CanAm cars didn't have roofs.

I'm just sayin' . . .

 

Can Am cars were some of the most spectacular looking road racers ever. I will second CoolHand's idea. The 32 recreation really is incredible, have you ever thought about taking one of those "on line beginners guides to metal shaping courses"? LOL.

What talent. Thanks so much for sharing the process and good luck with the sale.

frankinplymouth,

Thank you for the detailed pic's. It sure took the mystery out of metal work. Lots of skill and an enormous amount of patience.

It's just like eating an elephant, one bite at a time!

 

Did a little more on the interior panels and finished off the door tops. Ray

 

Looks like your flat fender Dodge is a daily driver ??? Cool !

 

that's a 32 roadster. You're Fucken Bad!!!

 

Yes sir, all my stuff gets the heck worked out of it. Sitting on a 86 p30 frame with a 454/ps/pb etc...........

 

very cool, I'm moving to Oregon in the next few months. Hopefully we can meet up!

 

How did I not see this!! Love post like this. I would love to find the time to try something the same. Great work. This post was very interesting and it gave me some cool ideas. How did you make the lower rear quarter section where the belt lines meet??

 

....gona take a lot to finish it (the body) from there....woulda liked to seen more use of the bead roller ...coulda made a BIG difference to the amount of welding and grinding needed...and less risk of warping all your good work shaping up those panels... having said that ...its still a good effort. Makin something from scratch ain't easy...
just my .02 PB

 

Flat out amazing work

Grommet

 

damn man! i wish i had the patients and time to do that. thats awesome!

 

Good grief! Great job.

 

Off to the next guy to finish it off. Ray

 

How about some pics of COE? Looks interesting!

 

That old Dog is cool,,,, Had one way back for a yard Horse. Every time you went around a corner to fast the fenders would fly open,,,, Cool.

 

any up dates?

 

If I had to choose between owning a body Henry made, a Brookville, or this one I'd opt for the hand made one produce by the man in Oregon.

 

This body came out great. I wish I hadn't seen this , because now I too want to scratch build one.

 

Amazing work ! ! This guy is a genius !
Thanks for the inspiration !

 

Try to convince him to post his progress on the Hamb so we can see how it all turns out.

 

hows this project coming, forget the corvette for now..

 

Made a 3w coupe out of a p/u cab = Ruler w/ a capital R...

 

He sold it a while back .

 

Back up even though it's old, it's a good read.

 

Great thread. Great work...
