    Yes I know . . .
    The car is pretty darn original.
    After Bob Magee's ownership, there were some very poorly done changes made to the car.
    All of that was corrected with the restoration work I did.

    Are there any shots out there of the rear frame kickups? What a great hot rod.
     
  3. Great write up on a truly amazing 32 Roadster. Having built one myself, I can appreciate the work that was put into Magee's. :cool:
     
  4. Here is my humble attempt at building a model of one of my favorite deuces. If you are a McGee fan like I am, you will see some details on the model are not right, but it was the best I could do. I have HOURS making the hood. I had to graft in louvers from side hoods to the top, and hand file the side louvers from originals. IMG_1789 (2).jpg IMG_1792 (1).jpg IMG_1795.jpg

    The McGee car has starred in more movies than I can recall, seen most of them, 'Hot Rod Gang' showed it in more 'action' than the rest...
    So, PWood. Is there a flathead back in it now??? Any specs?

    That video was amazing. The car is timeless. Thank you Bruce and all the folks who brought it back to its former glory. It is worthy!
