Projects '32 Henry steel Roadster build

Nice clean slate, Was that a dustless blaster or just dry media?

 

Dustless blasting

 

She looks solid for being 85 years old.....I like it.

 

Very nice build. You must have some really good neighbors...

 

I'm not trying to be fresh but... That sure is a nice body you've got there.

 

Worst part are the doors. I was very fortunate to find this roadster. It's now ready to get the metal work done that I can't do.

 

Someone brazed in the holes. Making new ones tonight

 

Eric...it's so awesome to see your progress. I think you were in High School when I met you out in So Cal....you did good kid!

 

Finished restoring this electroline taillight. Up in air about using it as it's the only part that would be post '39. :-/

 

On the chopping block today

 

The car of your dreams, building it will add a ton to the FEEL when finished !... love the pix

 

Dash junk

 

Been collecting parts lately. Was able to get the complete and correct front end stuff in as well as a 32 rear end. Waiting for my spring spreader to come back to my house from being borrow. Sectioned the taillight two inches as well. Had a chopped lower seat frame made for my non existent ass, too. Slowly putting along.

 

Rolling components all 1932 now except the 39-40 hydraulic brakes. Small steps.

 

You can buy a blueprint for a 32 frame ,
But i forgot who sells these.

 

Wecotts. I just picked one up. The cheap side of me was trying to avoid paying for it

 

Lookin good Eric

the '32's frame dimentions are in the last few pages of wescott's catalog...

 

It started. Barfed up one hole locator and will need weld back up and relocate.

 

You can see where the previous owner welded up the frame. I will bring it all back to life but I'm anticipating burning through one too many drill bits! Drilling out old welds destroys a drill bits sharpness amazingly fast.

 

So many holes. So not done. So need a beer.

 

Updates: picked up original 32 top irons, houdaille shocks and taillight. Began door repairs on passenger side. Began plumbing brake lines for mock up.

 

Starting some mock up for dash shit

 

All holes and rivets back in place. Houdaille shocks mounted. Ran out of gas and will get the rears on next weekend and get the shock arms installed. Step by step.

 

Got my rear houdailles on. Got the rear tack strip formed and fitted. May have to tackle that again, I don't like the gaps. Lebarron Bonney isn't too sharp with these.

 

Door work with Evin and Justin Veazie

 

Maybe too late, but I always get old welds red hot, then drill through them quickly.

 

Wish I knew that trick awhile back. Thanks tho cuz idk if I'm done

 

1932 pierce arrow dash grafted to the top rail of a stock '32 dash. Some may say this is sacrilege but I just say it's hot rodding. I also don't think you're going to see too many '32's with a full 1932 pierce arrow dash. You usually just see the gauge cluster grafted to a dash.

 

Almost there
Can't use my drop column. $475 obo
