Featured Customs BEST 32 FORD OF ALL TIME, LET's SEE EM

@Bandit Billy
I think there would need to be Two categories,,,
The Earlier Channel Fenders
Is a "Hot Rod" ,

The Radical Version is
"Show Rod Kustom"

 

The '32 red street rod? HRP

 

I've always been more hiboy oriented so never could warm up to (most) of the channeled cars, some call them East Coast hot rods, think more so in the New England area.
This one is a different animal altogether though, maybe because of it racing hertage.

The Khougaz roadster.

the one I just bought

 

Does anyone know where this car is now...???

 

If you mean the car in your post #73, it's not the same one. A bit of a discrepency in the number of windows.

 

You are correct, I was referring to the 3 window not the 5 window. Good catch.

 

The original 5 window Phil Kaelin coupe that was painted by Larry Watson seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. It would be great to find info on it's whereabouts.

 

I wasn't aware of that either. I hope it is sitting in someone's collection and resurfaces one day.

 

Being faster is the only way it could beat you...... and who really cares.
Your black coupe is far, far superior in every other aspect. Congratulations on the level of the build. It is amazing.

 

Back to the "Lil' Coffin".
If you determine the measure of a custom to be how far it has been modified away from original, then Lil' Coffin wins hands down. Not much left at all. You can still see '32 Ford ghosts in it, but it is really it's very own thing.
It stands out and may top the field as a custom, but to put it at best '32 ever is stretching things a little.......

 

The first car I posted to Mark was the "orange crate" that was a PNW car most of it's life so we know it well. I would select it over the coffin though it is not "drivable" perse. Perhaps in a straight line, but a bugger to pull into the drive thru.

 

This one?

 

Yes, that one. Seems to have vanished.

 

^^^^^
Thought few years ago read in
Tenn or Ky

 

I like this one... guy could have a lot of fun with one like it

 

Mark Westricks' encore deuce hiboy roadster, another beauty.
See his first one below.

 

and this one... hard to find... I looked forever for one for my havasu house,,, settled on a 31

 

The grille of the lil coffin

Reminds me of this

 

When I was a kid, everything I drew had 4 bars up front. It was my go-to feature, replaced with superchargers and later with golf club doors.

 

Like I said earlier “Get out of my way or I’ll take a bite out of your ass and spit it out the pipes!”
I like it

I totally agree on this one.

 

How about both together.

both together.

 

Oh

Oh, I'm so stealing this photo. I would trade my wife for this car.

 

Took me a while to find a rear shot of the coffin. From that angle... I can still see the 32 pedigree.
