History History (and Build) of Just Steve's 1932 Ford Three Window

Nice job, looking great.

 

Came home today and UPS had delivered an original dropped headlight bar, and some new old repro stock running boards from the V8 shop that I got from fellow HAMB member @383deuce Thanks Dennis!

 

it's been 40 minutes already...got them mounted yet?...pics!

 

Should be ready for BTT50's

 

Im not going to rush it for GSTA, but with Larry pushing it will be ready for BTT50's!

 

I thought I just saw it cruise by my house! It was just the wind.

 

Rush it for GSTA, you got a month and a 1/4, come on! lol

 

6 full weekends, 100-120 hours of shop time, and the deadline to submit an application is this Saturday...I gotta think about that.....I could probably hang it together....know anyone that could sew up a seat and white top insert?

 

maybe, heres my entry into the show

 

Wow, we'll need a story on that car.

 

Here's the story http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...-survivor-hot-rod-found.964803/#post-10862294

 

I have a 32 three window built 25 years ago . Always said if I advanced a few years a 35/36 3W would be it . P***ed on a 35 Cab. years ago with a 50 Merc . Flathead 17k , . :-(

Now this I would love to see ..........So like Larry says..Let's see some photos of it....

 

Hope ya liked the running boards....I think they are some of the best out there as I recall it took me forever to make up my mind on what ones to buy. Then never used them....

 

Sorry to correct you, Larry says; patiently waiting for pictures. That's almost end a coined sentence! [emoji41]

I know there is a word for this, ( and the word is NOT smart@ss!) they call it the same fancy upscale words, as people do when one says; Army intelligence. [emoji15]

He is not patience, he's more like "rubber ducking" [emoji41][emoji12]

 

Progress slowed a little. I made a little inspection cover for the fuel sendor. The body is snugged down and will need a little shimming to raise the fronts of the doors.

Made a throttle / return spring / fuel distribution block today. I thought about a mechanical rod to the rear carb, but decided on a cable operated. The cable would have been too short to pull from the rear, so I decided to pull from the front carb.

Made a card stock template , then used a bandsaw and die grinder to finish it off.




The fuel block is centered on the carbs inlets. I'll plug two of the holes, and use two. I think this is an eelco piece, but I'm not sure.

 

Damn! That is slick. Well thought out.

 

Nice work! Glad to see some more progress.

Small details to brackets like that really make a quality build. Great job!

 

That bracket's a really professional looking piece.

Top quality job all round.

 

Finally decided on tire size. In 1960 it had 5.90-15 and 8.90-15's whitewalls. I ordered BF Goodrich Silvertown Bias Plys, 5.90-15's front and 820.-15's on the rear with narrower 2.5" wide whitewalls. The rears wheels are reversed, so the tires will be close to the fenders, but it will have a 60's rake too. I think it's going to work.......we'll see....I like the sidewall "piecrust" on the silvertown tires
Should look similar to this,minus the trim rings

 

Since I started the build I have been keeping my eyes open for a nice right rear fender as mine is pretty roached, and the car should have better, and I really wanted to stay away from repro's. Finding one has been tough, two weekends ago I checked out two pairs locally that were 9's but I had good pictures from a member that were 10's sent to me last fall. So I contacted him, there still available , and I'll be making a little 1000 mile round trip to pick them up. I Will post pics!

 

Surprised to see this when I got home. Ordered from Coker Monday afternoon, delivered Wednesday. And the Alliance discount was 11%. That's great service.

 

Nice to see the progress, Eric. Now I have to get going on my projects...

 

Nice rubber Eric

 

Theres a joke in there somewhere....

 

how's that gonna fit in your wallet?

 

That was a long night and day! After nearly a 1200 mile round trip to Michigan I came home with this super nice pair of fenders. The wire beads are perfect as are the duckbills.
Don also had a really nice original bumper with some minor pits.
I also picked up the more drop is for a friend.

Thanks Don!





Both look like this on the inside.

 

Super nice. Look well worth the drive.
