Wanna check out my new deuce 5 window

Just picked this up this weekend from a friend of mine. I've been trying to buy the car for the last few years and he finally let me have it. Persistance pays I guess. Me and my father picked up on Sat. It had been sitting in this garage for the last 12 years. It was Bill Hondas' (who used to own California Metal Shaping) personal car, he was starting to do the car but unfortunately passed away before really getting anywhere. The car is mint no real rust, few layers of original paint, still has the original top insert, the firewall has original paint on it still. Not sure how I'm gonna do it yet, I have access to a worked flatie with og edmunds stuff or I have a running 241 hemi sitting in the garage. Anyway check out the pics.. Enjoy!

Anyone now exactly what kind of artillery wheel that it is?

 

sorry so many pics heres the last 2

 

Nice score ..good luck from one 5W to another ...

 

I see a great looking street rod in your future. I would opt for the flattie but the Hemi would be nice too. Tough decision.

 

Great score.

 

man whatta cool score , barn fresh material Rocks

 

Wow.

Nice car.

looks like a very solid start. congrats on the bugaboo payoff.

 

Thanks guys!.. nobody on those wheels though..huh... somebodys gotta know.

 

My vote is for the flatty,,,that car look's like it never saw a hot rodder with a fire axe,,,I would keep it that way,,HRP

 

ya its perfect, your a lucky man.

 

Looks like a rusty old car...

...do you want me to take it off your hands...?

 

I know.. I'm not gonna chop it.. then it'll just be another choped 5w.. Not that I don't like choped 5w's

 

good news! that tires only flat on one side!! I know, I know it wasn't funny. Good luck with that 5 w!

 

They're holdin air now.. So I guess I'm gonna use 'em!

 

I new bill Honda Rip.

 

The wheels appear to be one type of what are commonly referred to as "artillery wheels". There are lots of different wheels from different manufacturers that look similar.

 

man that is cherry - good for you!! Look at that floor. OMG. Chop - put in hemi - leave hi boy. Run like scalded dog!!

 

Super find. Congrats.

 

The pic of it coming out of the garage looks like a H.A.M.B. calendar shot to me. Way to hang in there. Cangrat's.

 

That is really neat. Good score. I agree with Kiwi Kev on the calender shot.

 

Restore it back to stock?

nah...
but good idea to keep the roof stock, it leaves the car with options in its future

 

Wow!

 

fuggn awesome!. slap on some doors some engine an tranny an run it as is!... loks sick!!

 

Nice find. Think I'd keep the wheels too.

 

I've gotten to drag one 32 5 window home in my lifetime and it was a great experience. Enjoy!

 

ahhh

so thats what one of those 32 5w floors look like

and all this time I though that the floor was paper thin un-beaded sheet metal with tack welds

wonder where I got that idea....

 

Congrats on the 5w, it sure looks like a very solid car. When I was young I always dreamed of having a '32 5w, now I''m fortunate enough to own two of them. I vote for keeping it stock height, at least for now and ponder your options. Once it's cut there's no turning back. I plan on keeping one of mine stock height.

Great looking start. Way to go.
