Projects A on 32 rails

Got the rearend sprayed just now waiting for it to dry then hope to paint the frame . Got a little solvent pop cause I was heavy on the trigger

 

Chassis painted

 

Great build Dustan. You're just a touch farther along than me on my A coupe on 32 rails. Would be interested in a set of those valve covers if you know of another set available.

 

Thank you. We found them at a swapmeet and I think the guy might have had 1 more set at the time but they were close to $300 if I remember correctly. He said the guy that made them made like 7 sets or something. There has to be more out there.

 

Looking good, love the Studebaker valve covers. Frank

 

We got the chassis together today. I really like how it came together

 

please get rid of that flex fan. I attached a photo of a guy who had one blow up while tuning his car. Doc said inch either way and he would have bled to death and or lost his arm. nice ride by the way

 

Ouch.

 

Yikes !'

 

Looks great !!! Colors look better than i'd think they would. I've had a flex fan on my "T" for a while as do a lot of others with no problems. . Keep plugging away.

 

Can't wait to see the body finished and put on the chassis. I can wait to do all of the bodywork to get to that point... Haha

 

Looking good already

 

Thank you.

 

We got the engine and trans stuck in.

 

Epoxy on , getting ready to start bodywork.

 

Whats the tyre size combo on this? looks good mate, awesome job.

 

NICE MOTORS

 

Looking great!
Can't wait to see the painted body on the chassis...

 

750-16 rear
500/525-16 front

 

Dustan is helping me with this I Kinda hijacked his post.
Thanks Gary , me too

 

Can't wait to see it all put together... We need to get on the bodywork now.

 

Any progress?

 

Nice looking car and fun project. I've been jonesing for a chopped 32 two-winder, with a 50's style engine in it. I'd love to have an enclosed 32 model with lots of room inside - which just isn't the case in any of the coupes (let alone a roadster or Cabriolet). Keep making progress and posting as you go!

Not a lot, fitted drive shaft and changed up original dash a little. View attachment 3281361

 

Putting some of the new wood in . Planning on welding in the piece above the doors to the rear section and visor

 

Are you going to stay with just the front motor mount and the tailshaft mount?

 

Yeah , not a lot of h.p. Out of a stock 283 . I've heard a lot of people say it won't hold up but I've got a "T" I've flogged on quite a bit and know a few others that are way harder on there cars than I am with the same set up and things seem to be holding together fine. And it looks clean

I know it's been a while, hoping to get this bodywork whipped out . This kids trying to teach me how it's done. (Actually doing it all , I'm his assistant)

Anything without fenders looks best on 32 rails.

 

Still plugging away at bodywork. Learning a lot
