Hot Rods A 32 3w from glass to metal

I have been here before but got booted off because the chassie of my handbuilt aluminum bodied 50's road race car was a later vette. It's in for paint now so I'm bored.
Now I picked up a glass 32 body off CL to use as a buck for building one the hard way.....................from flat sheet metal. I have been on it in my spare time and have the body fixture roughed in. Ray

 

Wow, great job fabricating

I am looking forward to seeing this one come together

 

Ray, welcome back from one fellow webfoot to another.
I really hope you can dodge that bullet this time around as your kind of skills are what keep us afloat, at least that's what "floats my boat".

 

Nice work, looks like Brookville has some serious competition!

 

Great work, I'm watching!!

 

I was watching that thread and couldn't believe they closed it.

Can't wait to see this one.

 

Me too,
I was pissed when that got canned.
Looks like it's changed a few times

Let's get on with the 32. !!!

 

So....whatcha doing with the glass body when you're done with it? *hint hint* Excellent work by the way. Excited to see more.

 

Beautiful job!! Keep em coming!!

I'm on board. Let's see more.

 

Be careful there a lot of landmines with this forum

 

It will find a new owner, Ray

 

Frankenplymouth doesn't post a whole lot, but all of his threads are outstanding.
The vision, the inspiration, the skill and quality are outstanding. If he were scratch building - rebuilding or rebodying a lawn tractor or a pedal car it's something to watch. It takes a considerable amount of effort to share and post a build thread, especially a good one. To have that effort trashed after there's been so much time put into it is a shame.

How's this for scratch built from flat metal ?
Would you want to see what he can do or transform from some kinda junk?

 

Class is in session. I brought an apple...

 

So the pic of the 32 roadster i built years ago was a good practice. I sold it tacked together and let the next guy weld and grind it to death...............i hope it turned out OK......I'm better now.
The first thing i did on this build was the firewall. It's a start of where everything will measure from. I built a aluminum firewall cover for the glass car also because people like shiny things. It's next owner may like it, Ray

 

Looking forward to this build, hope you show how things get wheeled and rolled. Bob

 

Not very exciting but the understructure is taking shape for the trunk opening.
Note to self......when taking measurements off a glass car throw the tape measure away, Ray

 

On to the trunk lid hinge and mock up of the door hinges

 

This should be good.

 

"I Love It When. A Plan Comes Together"!!!!
Fantastic Job!!!!!!!!

 

So I changed my mind and will use a stock door hinge set up.
Now working on the door jambs and window openings. Need to get all this figured out before the skins. I used to make multiple pieces welded together to do them , now with a little more skill i can get them all in one. Ray

Yeah, I really enjoyed your sports car thread...and watching your skills improve. Great workmanship!

 

Kinda excited so i'm sneaking my car pics under the radar Got some update pics from my painter. I suck at finish blocking so he is trying to save my body work. Said it didn't need any extra filler just a little extra blocking and another coat of primer. Silver paint soon! Ray

 

Fantastic work, subscribed!
