Highley Deuce 5 window build

I am finally ready to start on my 5 window. I have pieces from 8 different 32 Fords. Here is my attempt to put it together. Hey I always liked doing puzzles and playing with legos. How hard can this be............

Car #1 - Cowl
#2 - Firewall
#3 - both doors
#4 - both quarters and panel above decklid
#5 - Roof
#6 - A Pillars
#7 - B Pillars from a 2 dr Sedan
#8 - rear window section from a 32 sedan
#9 - Brookville - roadster sub-rails, back panel and deck lid.

 

Here is a shot from the day I brought it to my shop

 

A little bit hard..........but not too hard because I did it

 

Ill keep this one at the top of my watch list...I have a similar project myself....

Pete-

 

Start of the chassis

 

Roadster subrails mounted. Working on hanging cowl and firewall

 

sounds like a cool project... keep us posted!

 

I'll be watching.

Love me some 5-window!!!



.

 

Just think of it as building three big door frames. If the doors and decklid fit it's right. You'll have to modify the Brookville subrails at the door bottoms. Mine was very similar.

 

Here's a picture.

 

^^^^Dirty Dug that coupe is perfect!!!^^^^^ Interested to watch this come along.

 

Well worth the effort and damn fun too, thanks.

 

I'm always up another 32-5w build, subscribed. Kinda nice to see the bobbed front frame rails, something a little different from the norm. Good luck

 

Subscribed. I have one that looks real similar to yours that we'll be starting on soon

Wow, great start, the gap between the door and cowl looks perfect. That door seems a little too short though for that cowl? I'm just being a smart ass! This will be a cool project, will be following along!

 

Magical.
Many a rabbit has been retrieved without staining its fur .
Gonna be a beautiful thing.

 

Hello Josh, this will be a great project!!! Congrats on finding all the pieces, Bob

 

very cool

 

Very good way to put it. BTW great looking coupe!

 

...can't wait to see it all together,...good luck with it.

 

cool car I;m in

 

Good luck, I'm beginning to think 60% of the build is the hunt and the other 40% makes you wonder why you did it. But that's building a hot rod!

 

well ........thank GOD he is not cutting up a fordor!!! way to go josh. mad skills and vision. go man go. speedweek is only 8 months away.

 

Doors hung about ready to start on b pillars and quarters.

 

Took a few measurements from a friends 5W and somewhat built the back half on the floor.

 

Starting to look like something. A pillars trimmed and on. Doors are all tacked in place. B pillars are in place and quarters are hung. Really not too bad to line everything up. I started at the firewall and worked my way back. Used several pieces of 1/8" plate to set the door gaps and started tacking everything in. Now to make sure everything is in its right place and square. Then on to the top.

 

Found a couple pictures from the day we pulled these from the barn.
