Hot Rods Bought an old hotrod 32 5W today

It's just amazing the stuff that continues to pop up. Glad you got it Chris, looking forward to watching you bring it back to life.

Hey, you just got rid of a 5W! LOL

 

Good get. 5 window is my favorite. I’m sure the build will be way cool.jmho. Snowman

 

Congrats Chris, Nice score and only 5 miles from home...Truck is killer !

 

Yea buddy!

 

I saw a bunch of your '32 coupes on the "Rear End" thread. I think you've had just about ENOUGH '32 Ford coupes for one human being. That's it !!! You're cut off

 

I need a project!

 

Hey, I'm 73 and I need a project. You have to keep moving, that's what everyone says. You can never have enough 32 five windows. They are the best! I keep saying one more build. I'm ready!

 

Nice find man!

 

Well, considering that you're NOT hoarding them, and actually send them down the road when you're done with them, I guess one more would be OK

 

Another great find Chris! If you ever have time, using one side of a 8x10 piece of paper please list as many of the cars & trucks you found since you found the HAMB. Bob

 

that’s the most you’ve said in a while.........

 

Not gonna lie, I’m a little jealous! Great find bud.

Wow, that is a great find ! Are you sure that you don't want to leave it channeled?

 

Cool. If it were me that one would be a keeper.

I'd say that the Grandpa's American Grafitti reference meant that that when it was Yellow he street raced it a bit or it had a bit of street racing history. Car is too nifty to make another silly Graffiti clone out of though.

 

I don't think it was ever channeled ... As Chris stated in the OP:

Looking at the second pic:

​

... you'll notice the stock height firewall ... which leads me to believe a previous owner was planning to channel the car ... but just never finished that "project."

 

Not a "budget" item ... but I hear the Union Pacific 1932 Ford 5-Window Coupe Floor Panels are nice:

​

 

I'm really excited to see where you go with this one. Looks like a nice chop on a solid car. I agree with you. The firewall and a few other parts look like they were collected later. Have fun!

Cool one, 5W’s rule, good luck !

 

Just in case no one has told you. PLAY THE LOTTERY MAN! You have some really nice stuff.

 

Great Find! You lucky dog...

 

If my buddy called and asked if i was interested in a 32 5w body, I'd have to tell him that i can't afford it! I'm sure that wasn't "cheap"! Glad you got it man

 

Excellente!! It looks like a real solid car with a nice chop. I & everyone else knows you'll do it right!

 

Got it unloaded (finally) after camping all weekend and hosed It off.

 

Dude, that thing is ready to go right now! Awesome condition. More pics please!

Very Nice!

As HEMI32 says the United Pacific floor ***emblies make it an easy fix for your channel job. We fixed my channeled 5 window with one when they first came out. A little pricey but worth it.

 

Wow , how lucky can you get . Gotta love those Deuces !

 

I love it Chris
