Bonneville styled 1932 tudor build

Cool push bar Chris.

 

Man this tudor is sick! grate job.

 

Hope it gets better soon !!!

 

Chris, great build. Thank you for taking the time to give us the chance to follow your progress.

A suggestion for you regarding your brakes, look for any lines that are looped over, air can be trapped this way. Bleed your master cylinder first then work your way through the system paying particular attention to junctions, valves and anything that could possibly trap air. Bleed these as you go ending with your wheel cylinders.

Again, fantastic job and thanks.

 

I used an old fire extinguisher I had laying around the shop as my overflow for the radiator.

 

That extinguisher looks perfect that's a nice touch

 

Damn! I haven't seent his thread since page 1, but it turned out absolutely bitchin'! Nice work man, and congrats...

 

nice sedan

 

Just read all 60 pages....thanks Chris for letting me dream a little. Keep on keepin' on.

 

Great job!

 

Nice project and nice built! do you have more pictures of the Clutch/pedal assembly?

thanks

 

Inspirational!
These kinds of things don't come together by themselves. Kudos to you for seeing it through.
Nicely done!

 

This is about the only good picture I have, hope it helps.

 

Thanks a lot ;-)

 

Another small update for you all. I have been slowly working on some of the small finish details on my sedan lately. One thing is that the front brakes really belong on the 33' phaeton I'm working on, cause I didn't have my front brakes done. So I finished the conversion on my brakes, that way I can give his back.

 

Neat stuff.

 

Chris: In case you haven't already considered it, I think the photos from post 1167 might be a source of revenue for you. I bet a lot of HAMB'ers would love one or both on their walls. Just a thought.

I hadn't thought of that. Would anyone be interested in some prints of these photos? What size?

 

I'd like the second one, about 18" x 24".

really neat stuff. is there a thread on here on how to do that brake work?

 

Just read the whole thing - excellent work man. Your fabrication skills are fantastic, I have a feeling this build will be a constant reference point for many

 

I just read the whole thing. my ass hurts. man what a great job. looks great. you have tallent good to see in a young dude. keep up the good work. very nice.

 

I found this thread today because I have a 32 tudor and was looking for ideas, WOW! What a bitchen tudor, I have spent the last few hours glued to my seat. You did a wonderful job and the sunset picture on the salt is my new wallpaper. I would love to have mine half as cool as yours, great thread, you nailed it!

 

Thanks guys, I enjoy posting whats going on here at the shop. And I hope that this car has given some people some ideas to use.

 

So I've been doing some more upgrades on the car. First is I re-did the steering brace on the cowl to make that a lot stronger. Its connected at the door post, firewall, and down at the frame. Then I used a connecting rod for the connection at the box. So now thats nice and strong.

Then something else i'm super excited about was I had "Uncle Max" build me a couple Stromberg 48 carbs. He did such a fantastic job i'm so happy!!!

 

Chris, Let me know if you do the prints on these as I would be interested in the second photo with the sun going down. I framed up the one of your deuce in bare steel that I picked up when the bones boys and I were there last year and have it hanging in my shop. Get lot's of ? about who's rod is this and everyone thinks it is a cool hot rod.
see ya next Aug. on the salt.

 

Uncle Max is awesome! Great service and fair prices!

Chris, I just learned you have my buddy's '36 up there. I'm going to start bugging him to get it done!

So I've got some more updates on the car. I finished making a panel under the radiator, and worked on touching up the paint over some of the primer spots. Just wanted to darken down the car a little with having a lot less of the red-oxide primer coming through.
