Hot Rods Another survivor found,A Bitchin 32 Roadster!!

Ha, ^ the chick got dialed right out of the picture.

 

Thats his wife! (girlfreind at the time) i never noticed she was in the pic till i got the other prom pics from a different angle.

 

I am a sucker for tall tales and go on alot of wild goose chases. On an above average frequency I am chasing cars . With the law of averages it will someday be my turn at starting one of the you wont believe what I just found threads . Congradulations man you lucky lucky lucky dog it was your day and turn so enjoy . Now I am heading to another web sight to read my horoscope I heard about this barn . . . . .

 

Awesome car

 

It's painted, well constructed and doesn't have a tractor grill, are sure it's traditional..? Flame on...

 

Titus, I'm extremely proud of how you treated Ed!! Neat car to work on for sure, Bob

 

I worked on it for a few hours today, i pulled the hood grille headlights and nerf bar off and put those aside so i could yank out the nailhead, out it came, easy as usual.

I also noticed something when i had the grille out of the way, a hole thru the middle of the crossmember and two mounting bungs (one broke off), and it struck me, the tach drive was mounted to the front crossmember, well thats back where its going!

I also took off the gm ballast resistor and starter relay and gm voltage regulator from the firewall and found the spots where the starter solinoid and ford voltage regulater go, so thats where there going, back where they were.

What an admirable thing, Titus...

Wonder if you could just 'roll' the front cycle fenders about 20 degrees, bringing the trailing edge downward? It would improve the look considerably.

 

WOW!!! What a privilage to get to work on an original 'back in the day" hot rod. You've got history in our hands every time you touch it. Congrats on taking the owner on a path to the past. If not now, he WILL thank you when this thing gets on the road and he experiences all of the attaboys he is sure to get as he drives it. Keep us informed as you continue down the path of restoration.

WOW, nice old hot rod. I would have gone with the nailhead.....

 

Wow....very cool!!!!

 

Wow ! Holy shit, that roadster is awesome !

 

Cool! Very Cool

 

love it ,cant get over the look of those over long front fenders. great to bring ed back into the fold.

 

No changes are going to be made to anything, this is the way it was, and thats the way its going to be.

Yep, i like nailheads too, but theres a time and place, and this isnt either!

 

Way cool! Im glad the decision was made to keep it the way it was!! Sometimes that is the only way to go on certain stuff.

 

You probably added several more years to Ed's life..good for you to make it happen.

 

awesome story! thanks for sharing

 

I like it. Looks like it was built right.

 

What a great story and even better the roadster will be back on the streets soon.

 

Damn that's cool. Looks eerily similar to the roadster sitting in my garage, that I'd LOVE to find more history on.

Keep the updates coming.

 

Sweet!!!
