Projects My wife's 32 ford 4dr build

I did the super three day drive up to Canada & Back but I think it was worth it!! Now my wife can have the four door I will actually let her have. IMO All other four doors are driving parts cars (sooorry four door owners). I need to find wheel wells and a back panel but other than that it is really solid!.......To channel or not to channel,....that is the question?????

That was worth the trip. I've always been a coupe guy but the deuce more door is pretty nice.

 

Yeah I like coupes more as well but I think this could be a long haul kina ride.

Hey maybe instead of finding a sedan panel to fix the back I can find a coupe back half,Hmmm.....?

FLIP

 

Quit taking our cars, assholes!!

Oh yeah, nice sedan.

 

Now that was a nice find to bring home !
Looks like I should take a nice ride to Canada and see what follows me home too .
BTW.....CHANNEL !

 

Damn, nothing that good lookin ever followed me home, just the occasional fat chick

 

Nah, fully fendered with a chop. Have runningboards for the kids to climb in and out with.

 

nice find

 

Definitely thought about this route. No kids though,I'm not really a fan of those little buggers not to mention they are expensive.

If I could round up a set of fenders I might go that route.

Flathead V8 & early running gear - No fenders - Big & little tyres - Old style scollop paint job & a not too radical chop.....

 

That works for me! Good find BTW.

 

Nice body! I suggest no channel. With stock ht. you can run Hi boy or fendered.and as styles and taste change you can too. Chop and channel, it s fate is sealed.

 

Check out this thread I started a while back,,,a lotta 4-doors in all types of styles. HRP

Back from the dead!!! I'm going to try and post these in order and write some stuff to go with the pics......We'll see how that goes??

A reminder of what I started with and what it looked like on the internet when I found it for sale.....

 

Home from Canada all the way back in 2009......Not too bad and it was my first 32.

 

Chassis #1-bulit by me and My friend Casey, sat nice but ultimately when the car went to Keith Tardel he wanted to re-do the chassis for the new drivetrain.

 

For some reason I only have on pic from Rex Rods after the new chassis and the chop....

 

Welcome back, how much do you want for the windshield, I don't need the frame. Bob

 

After being at Keiths The car sat in my garage for YEARS.....life and laziness and other cars and motorcycles etc. etc. killed any forward progress........

 

I'm happy to see you are making progress again. HRP

 

I sold a bike and had some cash and had the hard talk with myself that I needed to in list the help of someone to help me get this ball rolling again. Keith had moved to Texas by this point and I had worked with and for Clay from Claytons Hot Rods and he convinced me to "just get my car up here!!". So on the trailer it went to get the finishing touches and get the chassis put together for the final time!....

 

So after the chassis was finished and ready to come home I was also convinced that a primered body on a finished chassis was cool, BUT a painted car was better......so off the body went to paint.....

 

while the body was at paint I had the chassis at home and started plugging away on things like exhaust, getting the motor in, finish plumbing etc. etc., you know all the fun stuff that eats up time like a fatso at an all you can eat buffet!!

 

The motor turned out amazing!!! Thanks to my friend Grant Peuse for also taking the time to not only build the motor but come and help me get it running, and so much more to get the car on the road!!! and you can tell by my wife's face she's excited to get to drive this bad ass car.

 

So the chassis gets finished and the motor get fired and now I'm just waiting for David the painter to be done with the body. I've had the hood and grill and some other bits painted for a while, but i was waiting for the body to be done....then it was ready! Such an exciting and stressful thing to pick up a newly painted body!!!

 

So now that the body safely made it home now its time for the body and chassis to DO IT!...and try to not scratch things too much??

 

now its time for all the details that have to have the body on the chassis to complete.....

 

One more trip up to Clay's for some final B.S. and then the first drive home!!....So glad to be driving this car and more importantly since it is for my wife, shes stoked to get to drive HER 32 Ford!!!

 

Tucked in safe and sound and only waiting on some dough for the interior.....
