    Josh,
    I drove a racecar for a guy in South Alabama that has a twin to that thing. He knows what he has too. Won't even talk about it. I tried.

    Very cool car.

    Glad to hear your not stranded in South America anymore.. or wherever it was. Ha!

    Later,

    I wouldn't touch a thing on that car!!!!!!!!!!!

    Take it out once in a awhile to the parts store or somewhere. People will treat you to lunch, buy your groceries at the store, fold your laundry at the laundry mat just to get a chance to ask you to sell it to them! That's not a car, it's a coin operated millionaire machine!!!

    Nope. The frame is done and looks killer. Strunks at "DROP AXLE PRODUCTIONS" did it. The body (which is a 3 window) is painted Black and beautiful. I'm not sure who painted it. ..and that's it. He hasn't got any further. Him and my dad have been hanging out a lot lately though.. I bet they put it together soon. My dad will guide him.

    Well, your kinda right. For some reason Cincinnati is a hot bed for 32's. Rodders Journal did a little blurb on it a long time ago, but not much was said cause "too tall Genahl" was still in charge and he has the "Cali Attitude" worse than most guys.
    As of right now, just in the main Cincinnati area there are about 85 STEEL 32' fords known. This number grows monthly, as I am not the only 32' chaser in Cincy. There are guys here that have been searching these cars way longer than I have.
    As for glass 32's there are only about 20. It's cool that our STEEL cars WAY out number the glass.


    ----------------------------

    I talked with the guy yesterday on this 5 window. He is not in any hurry to change the car at all. I and few others have been pushing him to leave it alone... and that's where, me taking it to the show will help. He'll get a BUNCH of guys that will tell him the same thing, "Don't touch it".

    It's a piece of history, and "There only original once"

    After seeing that I think I will ride up to cinn. next weekend for the show, that car alone will make it worth the ride. Looking forward to seeing the rest of them. I bought a 32 sedan at the pumpkin run a few years back. It was up in the corner where you guys always park. It is in this months rodders journal on page 136. I sold it to a friend of mine. See ya next weekend.

    You know it's strange how time changes things......Twenty years ago I would have seen this Duece and the first thought going through my mind would have been how cool this would look with a hemi and three inches off of the top.......Today I look at it and think how much of a crime it would be to do anything to it.

    I agree, I use to think nothing was too rare to hot rod, but as I get older I think some cars should be left alone.

    And besides the weather, California has nothing on us here in Cincinnati (along with Dayton and Springfield) when it comes to the number of old Fords.
