Hot Rods Deuces..Past,Present & Future lets see yours

Sorry Danny, I had a senior moment because I was thinking about Randy when I was posting that. I had just watched the video tribute to Gary Meadors and was thinking about who we've lost the last few years. The list just keeps growing.

 

That's OK,I think of Randy often and really miss him. HRP

 

Does a pic of my '32 taken from your '32 pickup count.

 

My second Deuce was this gennie 53,250 original 5W that was built and survived
in St. Paul, MN. It has the original V-8 and one repaint. I still have this one.

My third Deuce is this old restorod 3W that was built by a friend in Ft. Dodge, IA after he brought it back from California in 1973. He built it as a hot rod and after a few years he sold it. I found it in its present restorod form 25 years later in Grand Rapids, MI. I think its the only 3W with dual sidemounts! I still have it but it needs to be redone as a real hot rod one of these days.

My fourth Deuce was this restored Model B roadster that I sold last summer.

This 5W body came out of Racine, WI and needed a lot of work to get it presentable. The chassis came
from Tulsa, OK with a rough old Tudor tub body on it. I changed out the flathead and added some speed equipment. The tub body eventually went to California and the 5W found itself on this chassis.


There were a few more that passed through my garage, two Tudors, three Fordors and a
couple 5W's, one from Detroit, MI and one from Thunder Bay, Canada. Don't have pics of
all of them.


Dale Grau is the new owner of my chopped Fordor and he'll have it on the road this summer!

I built my '32 pickup in 2008 and am still driving it today.

I bought this freshly built Fordor and am putting fenders on it and getting it ready to have
the interior put in it next month.

This is my "Hot Rod" 5W waiting for paint, fenders and assembly. It has Pete & Jakes chassis, a 355 with a tunnel ram, a Muncie 4 speed and a 9" with a Detroit Locker. When it was running it was fast and fun to drive.
And then there is the Cabriolet project (AKA the Tree Car) that is chopped 2 3/4" with the
windshield laid back from stock. It will have full fenders and the top irons and window frames
are being made for it by my buddy, John.




And my Brookville roadster project that will be done next. Its currently on a So-Cal frame
but will be going on a stock chassis with a flathead that I have for the old timey late 40's look.

Someday if I live long enough I'll get all my Deuce projects done! Moving everything to
Prescott and building a house and shop killed about 6 years of time but I'm finally recovering.

 

Re your 3 window with dual side mounts

In 1951 I bought a tudor with not only the dual side mounts but also the rear mounted spare. I guess the original owner was very nervous about flats on Oklahoma's roads!

 

My pickup.

 

^^ Nice to see a standard headlight bar for a change, cool PU. JW

 

Wow!!! Now that's a collection to be envious of!!

 

Here's a little history on our Deuce. The first picture is the car in 1996 as purchased by the owner previous to me.



Here is the car when I purchased it in 2012 after a frame off restoration by the previous owner.





Here is the car today after a few changes and another 22,000 miles on the odometer.

 

Thank you.

 

Past! Late 60's build as a teenager.

 

Some Past! Some Present!

Missing a 32 Sedan that I can't find a photo of. As for the future ? I should live so long!

 

This arrived today........future one ???



.

 

Present one

 

some past and some present

 

My past which I still miss:


My present which is having to wait while I thrash to drive to the LA Roadster show this year in my 36 cabriolet:

I've made a lot of progress on the above but still haven't managed to get the new interior planning resolved. This gets priority as soon as I get back from LA. Well, maybe a few days AFTER I get back!

I feel dang lucky to have TWO 1932 steel three windows come my way within a few years of each other.

 

nice car...that motor is killer

 

My roadster, finally got it on the road early 2015.

 

damn Buck...bad ass.................HRP, love the pickup.....I envy you guys

 

Thanks, I'm planning on coming to the Northwest Deuce Days in July. Hope to see you there!

 

Ill be there for sure. I'm going in my Tudor sedan, the one in my avatar. Which car are you taking? It should prove to be an awesome show. 1100 cars Pre-registered, and most(I've heard at least 60%) are deuces.

 

This is my first deuce. Bought it in 2004, and sold it in 2006...to my dad. Then got it back from him a few years later and it's been in my garage since.

And this is a current joint project I'm working on with my Dad. It's sitting beside my Dad's 3 window that he's had about a decade now.

 

I'll be looking for you there. You have some great looking Deuces too!
I am bringing the black Deuce Fordor which should be full fendered and have the interior finished by then.

 

My 32 Henry cabriolet roadster,Halibrands,39 engine,GM 5 spd,ford 9 in with coil overs.Pretty good driver,great body.Needs new paint,interior,freshen up brakes.Have over 50 years hot rod flatmotors!

 

I just got back from the painter’s. Finally, it's all back together. Tomorrow he will bring it back to my shop and the push to finish the remaining details will begin. Here’s a cell phone photo. I’m pretty pleased with the way it turned out. The tires in the pic are just rollers.

 

Tom,the roadster is absolutely beautiful,you did a fantastic job!

Looking forward to seeing it soon. HRP

 

Thanks. Couldn't have done it without your 289.
