Hot Rods The '32 nobody wanted.

Color? Or did I miss this part?

I'm leaning towards oxblood maroon.

 

The best old hot rod color by far. The more time goes by the more I keep wanting to go darker than my original idea of 40 mandarin maroon for my 32 PU. Now I'm all the way to wanting this dark.

Great progress, from the deuce nobody wanted to the deuce everyone will want!

 

I haven't used my tig in a few years so
I'm kinda re learning all over again.

 

OMG! Who killed that dash panel?

A steel structure is good. But if you think it will ever be upholstered, you should also put wood bows and window wood in it. Your sticher will thank you for it.

 

Nice work Pete!

 

Haha,,,,,The entire car was like that. Everything was torch cut and very crude.

 

Slow going.
Got the insert tacked in and one door top trimmed. Still needs to be cut and stretched.

 

Roof roof.

 

Looking great Pete. Nice progress. Keep going.

I bought these doors at a local swap meet in the fall... damn they are jacked up! I'm gonna keep my eyes open for a better pair

 

Lookin sick Pete!

 

Impressive!

 

BTTT is that how you spell it? I don't know but you all get it...great build Pete...​

 

I'll have some updates to post in the next day or two.

 

Pete, I'm so proud that you are keeping the true tradition alive.

 

Thanks Tommy, it's guys like you that inspire me and many others.

 

Doing a great job! Keep it up!!

 

Just went thru all 11 pages, and all I can say, is WOW!

 

It'll be awesome.

 

I just read all 11 pages too. SO impressed! I have no skills, but I enjoy the hell outta watching someone who does.

Curious about the colors mentioned above as my '55.2 Chevy truck is about to get color. Is the "oxblood maroon" mentioned above the actual name of a Ford color? Same question about the "40 Mandarin Maroon"

 

Motors in, sorta

 

Hot damn!

 

And the "Metal Maestro from Metro Boston" does it yet again!

 

How's that Mallory dual point going to clear the water pump belts. Looks a little close and I am thinking of running one on mine. Is that a mechanical advance??? Whole project is looking really good.
