Featured Hot Rods Another 32 Roadster

Can't help myself, should have quit with the last one. My last Cornhusker chassis, Flathead from Frames, Brookville body. To much of a good thing. I'll have a complete PDF listing everything included with prices soon. Krylon32

 

I will be following

 

looking forward to seeing the newest frame. HRP

 

@krylon32
Thats a Unique water pump ,
That is ,Like 50 Flat Head ,
Just wondering , Does it feed / balance both sides evenly Temp wise , I guess it would if running thermostats @ top of heads , probably answer my question.

Just asking , what will make this one more diffrent then your other
Black Henry roadster for sale ,
I see more laidback windshield.
Different Engine ,Trains

 

That's a 348/409 W Chevy water pump. I would recognize it anywhere from years of playing with those engines.

 

Krylon, posting pictures?!!!! How?

 

Thanks , I am assuming that's been around for a while, just not notice .
Those Windshield Stanchion, are they
Designed So frame will not movie pass that angle downward any further @ speed ?
& Brand ?
Does any one know with windshield laid back that fair @ 6ft, does it have Glare focus issues like the Lamborghini Miura for driver ?

 

Your correct about the 409 pump kit, been making them for about 30 years. Several differences from the black car, 4 most obvious the black car is an original body, Motor is a 300 hp SBC, and the black car features a real Auburn dash, and the windshield is a 3 inch chopped stock style vs a Wanless laid back unit. I have no idea about the glare factor. Eddy, when you have time join my thread with a few pictures of your current build for comparison.

 

Beautiful does not quite get there.
Thanks for the look.
Will burn it into my brain.

What a beautiful collection of pieces, Gary. Great job on the assembly.

 

@krylon32 ,
I do not have a 32 roaster , @ my place there ways a B-V Roadster one of family member had, it was sold then redone then on display @ York show inside .
I am around
20ish yrs Younger then you ,
For me the 37deg windshield might be too much for me driving wise,
Maybe 40 ish ,
One of mine is & A Roaster I have had since 1990 , E -coast Va Original Hot Rodded in 60ish , right now mocked up
Late 60ish 70 appearing, my plane to change Direction to go back to what I feel 1960-5 ?
The black A roadster in pic below ,
Not mine .
Most of my others look mid 60s
But there some modern race parts that
Not HAMB friendly , I call Race Rods
Mine are I would say 80% compleat ,
I Neaver get to 100% , because I then go diffrent way on engine combos ,
From NA , power adders , spray ,roots , T bo
Flat head , sb , Jap straight 6 , Maybe
The dreaded Ls or Lsx 6.6 or plus .
The one's that kind of know me Here on HAMB ,
& some of my family, know I will have one engine set up a month or so then a compleat off wall different engine combo, standards is for the R-Rs is
100 ish @ 6.0-6:40 1/8 Drivers .

Now I am interested in a D-D yr round
Sun , Rain ,Snow Driver .
The Black 32 roadster, below .
With side curtains, tires , fender's bumpers , hood.
I would like pretty much complete 32 Ford , brakes may be 40 or disc like you have , & just average paint really patina.
When comes to engine , I would consider any engine, a 2.3 4 cycle simple TurBo Like 85 , or Hair dryer set up to 4 psi ,
Be able to cruise about 80 mph when on Interstate , engine , 4,6,8 , But Exhaust
Sound real picky about , Just Mellow
Like a stock 69 camaro with 250 ,6
Or Flatty with cam.

 

Eddy: Thanks for your reply. You picked 2 perfect examples of what you would like. After the roadster above has reached the complete bare roadster stage and all the sheet metal is fit and it's a roller I hope it finds a new home. Following right behind it is another 32 roadster with the interior and doors lengthened 2.25 inches. It will be full fendered. I have literally every part collected and in a local storage shed. P&J's chassis, Brookville body, UP sheetmtal, Sid's Bop Top, powered by a 300 HP 327 thru a 400 turbo into a 9 inch rear. It recreates a Yellow roadster I built in 1979. I'll keep pushing until I run out of money.

 

Great job as always Gary.

 

Thanks Leroy. I need all the encouragement I can get.

 

Following your skill level is encouragement for me. Thanks for the chassis photo's you emailed me, gave me some new ideas for the '27 T coupe I am soon too start.

 

Well done, I often wondered how many events the flathead chassis that showcased your craft in the earlier years attended...looks to be a refined example of years past.

 

Looks like something a real hotrodder would want to own. Nice, nice, nice.

 

Sweeeeeeet!!!

 

Learning how to post pics just in time mate...

Looks like another awesome build Gary!

 

Very nice,keep up the good work ! Following!!

 

is that a "Y" where the fuel lines go to the pump,... also will you be putting a panhard bar on the rear???

 

also,... will you get this all together... then blow it back apart and paint???? and will it be shiney??? or primer/satin???

 

Please share what the waterpumps are and specs. Is this something bought or do I need to buy some aluminum stock to machine one out.

 

ALLDONE: The fuel system is custom made for me by Baxter Ford Parts in Lawrence KS. Everyone he's done for me is a little different and they've all worked great.I've done countless 100's of buggy spring with ladder bar rear suspensions thru my years in the chassis business and have never needed a rear panard. You simply need to do your math and have the rear shackles end up at a 45 degree angle when loaded. As for the final finish it will not be painted or finish upholstered. I plan to attempt to sell it naked for the buyer to finish. A complete PDF listing base prices with all extras will available when we're done.

 

continentaljohn: The water pump is 409 Chevy. The mount shown is a custom mount my machinist made just before he retired. I have been offering the complete 348/409 to Flathead Ford pump kit since the mid 90's. You may be more familiar with the production kit as it uses the stock Ford style biscuit mounts and puts the motor in the stock frame mounts. Complete kit is currently $1095 plus the ride. You furnish the alternator and belt. I have 9 left and that will be the end.

 

Thank you for the information and since your retired can you please share some more pictures of the parts so our fellow members can carry your ingenuity forward .
I love the idea and just need a few details to make mu own and not looking to get into production
