Projects GowJob- the new 32 phaeton family cruiser build

Hey Guys, you will probably recognize this ol tub. This ol girl has been passed around the country just waiting to be put together. I unexpectedly sold my old fordor last fall due to some medical expenses for my daughter... I wasn't really ready to get rid of the 32 as I had big plans to put alot of miles on it, so I have been missing it alot this summer. I have to say I love my wife. This tub became available and my wife was on board with the idea of having a phaeton for a new family cruiser... so we worked out a deal with Mel and a few weeks ago I made a bonzi trip to New Jersey and back from Montana. 4500 miles in 4 1/2 days rolling solo. It was worth it though. Can't wait to cruise the tub around. This will be a slow project. I have been going through my 32 stuff I've been saving for this someday project so I'm stoked I can finally put some of these parts to use. The plan is for a late forties style roadster that has been updated with an overhead in 53 to go racing. The plan is to stay fairly traditional. This will be a slow build/ rebuild.
Hope you enjoy the pics.

 

O YEAH!

My 4 year old loves mine! It's so much fun toting the whole fam around!

Love your tub. Yours looks like a blast. Can't wait to be doin the same toting my family around. I've been lurking on your thread dreaming of cruising mine. I'm hopin I can be driving next summer.

 

Thanks Larry!

 

... dream build ... with deuce styled track nose. Love it.

 

Gow Jobs are usually 4 cylinders!

 

Congratulations,I love the ol tubs. HRP

 

Looks like an Australian body.

 

I watched it in the classifieds. Love to have been ready to pull the trigger but I'm a ways off.

 

WOW! What a nice start for a build, look forward to seeing come to life. Bob

 

I love the Deuce tubs and I like your taste for this one. There was one in Pomona for sale this year at the LARS but I have a 34 in progress that I purchased a hood from you for.

My all time favorite is Paul Gommi's beautiful phaeton.

 

Thanks Lynn, hopefully I can get some progress on this one soon.
Yup, Paul's tub is awesome! Hows your 34 coming?

 

Cool.
Al.

 

Like the direction you are taking will be watching for sure.

 

I wish I were going to collage now so I could stop by and help with the build. My freshman year 58.

 

That is very cool. Congrats.

 

Congratulations on the pheaton and great project . I was eyeballing the tub and wish I was a bit shorter at times, can't wait to see what you do with her.

 

This is going to be cool. Great start. I am with Larry, lucky bass turd.

 

What an awesome start you have there - really looking forward to seeing it progress.
Thanks for posting.

 

Thanks guys!

 

I'm glad to see someone is going to build it, I helped move it around a few times when it was down here in the south.

 

So awesome -- I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!

 

I'll bet that dash would keep a one eyed man busy. LOL

Looks like fun, a hemi tub. Guess that makes it a hot tub.

 

I like a the original paint

 

That dash is KILLER!!! Great start!

 

Well I'm subscribed! Another phaeton build, and this one with Wide 5's. I dig it.

 

I like the Dash too! I've got one that has 10 holes in it too. After the usual gauges and an oil temp, clock and a vacuum, then what? Do you really need trans & rear temp? Any interesting suggestions.

 

Moving the seat back 3" in the Deuce Tub solves all tall guys problems. Plenty of room to stretch out. John, a 34 requires the same treatment if you are over 6' tall.

 

Killer! Looks like a great start!
