Hot Rods 32 Ford 3 windows ex hypotetical deuce

Congrats from another rough 32 3 window owner, but you know what? You have one now, and it's real steel !!!!!! I am proud you are saving it.

All 3 windows deserve someone like you.......

 

You have my attention........... carry on.

 

Looks like something I'd drag home. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Good luck.

 

Ooooouch.... Keep up the good work!!!!

 

This will, indeed, be an adventure!.

 

Small update: building the missing parts of the rear subrails. Pass side is just spot welded, needs to be final welded

 

In case you all missed it, check what Adventurer did with his junk yard find 48 Ford Convertible. It was in miserable shape as well. This one may well be an easier fix compared to that 48?

Unbelievable stuff. Make sure you join the 32 back from the dead social group. You'll be the king over there.

Can't wait to see the what you do with the corners and rear quarters.

 

"Can't wait to see the what you do with the corners and rear quarters"

Hahaha, me too....

 

Ok, the quarters are in better shape now, and start resembling a Deuce...

 

cutting off the driver side quarter (actually taking off the spotwelds...) and starting to get in shape

 

Wow! Now that's love...

 

Any help getting some pics of the actual roof shape and panel under the roof? Please need some reference on getting the correct shape. Here is mine

 

Roof and A pillar have been cut off and welded back on, don't know if they were trying ot make a roadster or if another top was put on the car due to some accident in the racing past...

 

Antonello is one of the best in Europe!!!

...and this is not his first job ...
and certainly this will run soon on Italian roads ...
leaving us once again amazed ...
Many of his cars were in this condition ... and are now among the most beautiful

In bocca al lupo!!!!

 

Awesome! Was that the deuce from Washington state area that was posted on the hamb 1-2 years ago?

 

Not a close up but you should be able to enlarge it. If you need a closeup I can get you one later on.

 

WOW, I'll never complain again about a project being too bad. I can't wait to see the end results. Go Man Go!!

 

How much food will I need to survive in a crate with my model A body when I ship it to Italy so you can teach me to do this?

 

nothing is impossible!

 

Glad this car finally found a good home.

 

Wow quite an ambitious project, good luck and please keep us updated on your progress.

 

this is what we started with in 1979 and finished in 1983 been on the road ever since. still has paint from 83 before you could buy brookville parts lol.. you be alright

 

First thing, I want to say thank you to all nice people who replied with pics and compliments. Some appreciation is needed in such a long and difficult project. My problem is that I cannot go to a meet, and find another 3 windows to get pics or measures. I have to rely on the HAMB and the internet to find the pics I need.

As for progress, we have fixed the driver door, now shape is correct in the lower part. Problem is the upper part, where it was cut off and then welded back. We need to fix the roof and then fix the upper door...all together, to get a common shape. The driver side quarter has been cut off and hammered back into shape. But we don't have a good drip rail so can't put the quarter back on until we weld the drip rail back and get a correct shape for the upper part of the quarter. Now we are working on the pass side door, looks a little better then the driver side. I am waiting that some stuff from Brookville arrives, like the drip rail, the lower patches, the lower panel under the trunk and the quarter panel braces. Will post some pics tomorrow.

 

Wow!! That is one hell of a project, but you are doing great so far!

 

I am really looking forward to following your progress !!

 

some pics of the repaired door and quarter













pass door

 

As comparison, the driver door before work

 

Good thing, doors are very rustfree....but badly dented. They were the door tops cut off, as to make a roadster, and then welded back on very crudely

 

Whoa!!! Need any help let me know.
