I don't know about that but I love my '33 and I'm committed to building that if I can.....that is unless a '32 Roadster comes up.

When it comes to '32 Ford's I'm a 5w or roadster man. However the longer this car sticks around I certainly can see why people go ape shit for them. They definitely have their own look.

woah dude. good find.

I think that only applies to women or people under 120 lbs. For the rest of us it just accentuates our awesome physiques! The real question was how many ticks did you pull off of you that day? I had 5.

Oh shit !!!!!

ssrs71 · Jul 1, 2012

I think it was four or five. What got me was they were so small, some looked like a speck of dirt. Still gross.

Colville · Jul 1, 2012

Good stuff! I wish you the best with Sugar City, I'll be paying a visit for my Tshirts

It's been a crazy couple months here at Casa De JJ. About 3 months ago I lost my job which was a huge kick in the balls because I was only left 3 days of health insurance and some appointments on the schedule for my son's birth defect. My wife's a stylist so she's not offered any being self employed so we were stressing a bit.

Well since I had some spare time on my hands I decided to make the most of it and start moving forward on an idea I had for a couple years which is Sugar City Speed Shop. I started doing some research and designing a few things so I could put one foot in front of the other. I also got the boss Ryan to build a website for me which he did and awesome job and I just need to give him the rest of the info to complete the store. Basically my thoughts were start a store where all these parts that were being hand built by guys like you could be collected and sold in one place all while providing inspiration for more of us to get out and build. So Sugar City is going to focus on helping those sell their parts and showcase them serving as a "local" speed shop of sorts since the parts are in fact built by people that could be your friends and neighbors and not overseas. It's all in it's infancy and I'm still working on getting that site finished but it's definitely moving in the right direction I think.

Then I get word from a good friend that he has a friend that's serving as a middleman to a women who's selling her late husbands hot rod collection off. We were sent a few photos of cars that were there and some of it looked cool so a few Iron Lords and friends hopped in some trucks and made the trek out to see what was all there.

Well when we got there we all made sure we were on the same page which was to let the women set her price and not beat her down as this was a hard time for her and wanted to be respectful. Well we were all just excited to be there having fun looking at cool old stuff and so we began looking around as a group. Out in a field there was a semi truck with trailer parked and looked like it had been sitting there for a long long time. I was lagging behind and checking out a Cuda for my neighbor when I seen them open the trailer and instantly knew what I was seeing. I galloped over there like a little kid and talked with my bud and fellow Iron Lord Dustin who was already "mind melting" with me by putting together a deal on it without even seeing in completely. Well we had discussed prior about going in on buying big stuff so this was going to be our big purchase for the day. We shook hands with each other and with the sell and made a deal for a super nice '32 3w body with a title. As we were pulling the body out were finding extras that go along with the body like the front fenders, dash, garnish moldings, grille shell with insert, floor section, etc so we were giggling like little kids each time we went in to grab something. Oh did I mention this '32 was sitting on top of a cherry '65 GTO? Yeah...

Meanwhile we weren't the only ones buying stuff. Our friend Skeeter was pulling out Original Magnesium Halibrand wheels, more '32 grille shells, magnetos, and all types of other hot rod paraphernalia.

So now I'm the half owner of a really cherry '32 3w along with my friend Dustin. Well since he had a '32 5w he's building and I don't need this car I think it was serendipity that we were able to buy this because now we can turn around and sell it and make a few dollars so that I can get my ducks in a row for the new baby I am expecting in February. Some people think we're crazy for not keeping it but neither Dustin nor I NEED it which makes it an easy decision.

When we got the car home we spent an evening putting it loosely back together so that we could start finding someone that would really appreciate the car. It's really in incredible shape with really only one area which is the floor being of concern. It seems that the car was channeled and that's why the floor was cut out. It had a flat firewall brazed in but the incredible thing is that the Roof Is unchopped and even though the roof and cowl has been filled, the frame work for them are completely in place underneath. If we were to guess we'd probably say that the car was a hot rod at one time which is where it gets the firewall, floor, dash and yellow paint and then was last used to make molds for fiberglass bodies since there is evidence of resin on the body.

So yeah it's been a pretty crazy couple months but exciting as well. Ya know how people say everything happens for a reason? I don't know, it's definitely looking that way. If you're interested in this thing PM me but if not take this as a lesson to follow every lead you hear. You never know!

...I meet Carlton about 37 years ago and bought a 3 window from him in 1980, the one you got was one he was saving for a later project ,along with all the other projects...RIP , Carlton

Be careful with those ticks... ask me how I know. It's worth it anytime you get a tick on you to go to the hospital/your doctor and get a few days worth of antibiotics just in case so you don't end up with chronic lyme years down the road.

Anyways, nice score. Good luck with the sell. I cannot wait to have a '32 3w some day.

bulli_cyrano · Feb 3, 2017

Where the car was sold? Any news about the beauty?

Jalopy Joker · Feb 3, 2017

this one was at Nor Cal Turlock swap meet

bulli_cyrano · Feb 3, 2017

I think I've the 3 Window from JJ now. See my pictures. In my old pictures the 3 W has the same special yellow paint inside at the doors.

actually the 3 W Coupe is 90% finish in green. See pictures also.

brett4christ · Feb 3, 2017

@JeffreyJames Did you see this?!?!

If this is "it", what a transformation!!!!

bulli_cyrano · Feb 4, 2017

Jeffrey confirm me that the Coupe I have is the correct one. I'm happy with this news. I live in Switzerland. At the moment we make the interior finish.

bulli_cyrano · Apr 30, 2017
