Projects 32 Ford 5 window... FINISHED PICS

Blue One.... This will be my last 5 window, the next one will be a 3 window.

 

Henry sent this to me tonight.

 

Looking very, very cool .....

 

Went to see Henry today. He showed me what he has been doing on the hood and grill shell. He set the grill shell right down on the frame rails, down about 3/8 of an inch from normal. The grill shell was left uncut just lowered down. The frame rails are pinched in a little to fit the shell nice and tight. The front spreader bar is 3 1/8 inches from the ground. The one pic is the hairpins Henry is making for the car.

 

Darn
Photos didn't take

 

Those hair pins are a work of art !
Chop coming? I think it looks great just as it is. Henry is the man

Damn! That's bad ass!

 

The hair pins are the first set Henry has made but I think he is going to make them to sell also, and YES, YOU KNOW THE CHOP IS COMING!

 

Love the stance and attention to detail.

 

Schweet!!!

 

Beautiful chassis and stance!

Just because you're using an SBC doesn't necessarily mean boring.
How 'bout a 427 SBC with aluminum block & heads? Maybe detailed to look like a mid-'60's 'Vette L-79??

 

Righteous!

 

Subscribed! Looking forward to more updates!

 

It has been awhile since I have posted. Not alot going on over the summer. Henry did make a sweet cover for the rear crossmember.

 

Wow !

That is some very nice work to say the least.
Pretty much a flat front cross member with a mono leaf spring, is that a 5" drop axle also?
Steadfast likes 'em low. Nice.

 

Stopped by Steadfast today to see what has been going on. Henry has the new cowl section welded in and has removed all the glass and wood from the inside to get ready for the chop. Not sure exactly how much the chop is going to be yet but his thinking is right around 3 1/2 inches in back and 3 3/4 up front. He wants to make sure the proprotions look right and not chop it super hard just to do it, it has to look correct. Another thing we talked about was the paint. The plan was to leave as much of the old laquer paint on and just match the spots that was needed. After looking at it there is not going to be much of the original paint left and it will be to hard to try to match it. What to do........do I try to get an old looking paint job? New shiney paint? What color? A flat color? Again what color. How about some suggestions from all the experts on here lol.

 

Don't see enough silver deuce coupes.

 

Dupont Pacific Gold Metallic. Same color as the "Confused pickup". Maybe HRP can post a pic for me. My desktop computer is broken.

 

Nailhead.I have a low milege 364 ii would consider selling

 

Just getting ready to take my Black Satin chopped 5 window to the upholstery shop. Enough shiny paint for me. I also finished my 32 PU in the spring in Satin Cement Green, love it.

 

That is so beautiful ! That's an Artist at work !

 

I sure wish you would post some pics. Thought about doing a satin or flat black but I want to do something different. I sure wish I could keep the old laquer paint with all the chips and scratches and cracks. That is what I want to do but I don't want it to look like a fake patina paint job. Henry knows alot of talented painters and he thinks one of them can pull off an old looking laquer paint job.

 

Skip the flat paint.
Single stage BLACK. In fact paint it with HOT ROD FLATZ paint....then polish it. This maroon 2 door owned by Mike in Tuscon (El Bombero on the H.A.M.B.), was painted with HRF paint and he didn't like how it looked so he polished it. The result is a not so much in your face shinny paint that doesn't have the mile deep look, that looks so modern. More of a vintage paint look.
Love the California hot rod rake!
What's the story on those Indy Roadster looking wheels?

 

This is Dave's confused pickup,it's Dupont Pacific Gold. HRP

 

While we are throwing out colors,I'll offer the Kirker S.G. black it's low maintenance and holds up extremely well,no fading or chalking. HRP

 

I know it's not going to happen..... but with the fantastic stance, it really looks good unchopped!

 

Love the Wheels....what are they?......magnesium?...

 

With those wheels, I think a maroon would be a knock outa the park! Shiny even!

 

Do magnesium and aluminum shrink at the same rate......if so how about a run of them in aluminum? Put me on the list.
