on a completely different subject... I saved up some dough to buy a bunch of nice pine trees for the land that we have behind the shop...some worthless SOB dug up a bunch last night and took them home...UNBELIEVABLE

I will have some build pic's this week I hope

I don’t know if you are aware but these worthless puke typesactually have been arrested for steeling shrubbery from the front yards of folks; worst part of all this is that the shrubbery most likely dies from shock anyway.

 

Hi Guys
sorry for no updates but the project has stalled once again and Bonneville is not going to happen this year due to the car not being ready and we are helping our son move around the same time as speed week.... family is more important. On a positive note my wonderful wife surprised me with a trip to California to the LA Roadster show and arranged many shop tours around the area...it has been a great time out here for sure.

Crafty B,

What's happening with the '32 project? How about an update ... inquiring minds want to know!

 

Hey Gang!
Im still alive and kicking and the 32 is back in the shop ( the heated side)...Im going to start back up on it this week and hopfully make a big dent in the build this winter. I took the summer off on it and just enjoyed cruisin the ole caddy around. I will post updates as soon as I have something.

Good news! -looking forward to the progress.

 

Hey I forgot to add yesterday.... I got my shop truck back!!! it was gone 3 months and has around a 1000 more miles but no damage! there was a old 4 speed still rolling around in the box that I didn't even know was missing. The sherriff's dept found it on the NW side of Grand Rapids without a plate on it.. Merry Christmas to me!

 

thats cool you got your truck back............whats next on the 3 winder Steve

 

Glad to hear you got your truck back Kirk!

 

How the HELL did I miss this thread?

Hey Guys!!

Well it's time to hit the ol 32 hard again boys and even though it looks pretty much the same as I left off last summer I have made huge progress on the distroyed driver door this week. Im now offically off suicide watch and feel pretty good about how it looks so far but have a long way to go.

Im looking for a set of original 32 door handles if anyone might have a decent set.

Beautiful work, this board astounds me with the amount of skills people have on here. I'm looking forward to the updates

thanks

Here is a little teazer pic of the dash insert...lots more to do but you can get the general idea of whats going on. Im making custom switch knobs like the ones found on old aircraft magneto's and the flat outer area's will have engine turned inserts.... I think lol

Crafty

 

Wow, that dash is fucking cool --- nice work man!!



Malcolm

 

Yowsers, nice work!

 

Crafty, very nice! Give us some insight on how you built your dash. Is the dash all formed metal or an additional piece welded to the dash?

 

The insert fit's nicely over my stock 32 steel dash and it is made of cast aluminum.

Did you cast it? It looks amazing!
