Hot Rods 4 Years progress on a 32 Ford ...

On January the 15th, 2009 ... I will have owned this 32 3W coupe 4 years. It has taken much longer to get to this point than I thought it would. Here it is 4 years ago.



And this was taken this afternoon ( 1/10/09 ) Notice the 100 or so big trees missing ... and the little dog is a different one. The other one died but this one is trying real hard to fill the void ...



I will not bore you guys with the construction photos ... but I am pretty happy with the coupe so far.









I still have to finish up the Vintage Air and complete the wiring ... before I take it to the upholstery man.



I really like how the rear window goes up/down. I have never had a car with that feature before.



This old coupe has been off the road since 1958 ... but the WIFE and I plan on it being on the road A LOT this summer and fall.

 

Looks great!

 

Lookin' VERY good! I'm right behind you...plan of definately making the run to Blowing Rock this spring. See you there.

simple, style, class

 

Well worth the wait!

 

Looks very nice!! Btw..what wheel and tire combo are you using?

 

I would like to be bored with the build pic.s please.

 

VERY NICE & you didnt waste much time you got right after it!!

it usually takes about 4 years of lookin it over & getting a plan together before the building starts.

 

Awesome so far!

 

Please bore us with the build pics. Please

 

Looks great. What are the plans for the interior ? Color ???? Leather ???

 

Fronts are 165/80/15R Kumos on a 4.5 wide rim
Rears are 235/75/15R Kumos on a 7 inch wide rim

Straight axle under the front is a 48 inch wide dropped 4 inch tube type.

 

Looks great! Did only the 3 window have wood grain dash from factory?

 

congrats on finishing it, it looks really good.

 

beautiful !

 

Plans are for a leather interior ... and a brown color.
The wife and I are trying to decide the shade of brown now.
It will look a good bit like this ... but BROWN and the garnish moldings
are already done to match the dash.

We have the original seat and arm rests also ( like this 3W )

 

matching cars.. awesome.. I dont know which one I like more...

 

You have great taste my friend.

 

I am very envious, you are one lucky man. Congrats, they both look like beautiful cars!

 

It just doesn't get any better.

Congrats, a perfect companion to your roadster with closed-car comfort.

Deuce Roadster has a photo album that is mostly about the 3W coupe and it construction. It has a little stuff in the album non 3W but not a lot. Here is the album for those who want to see construction photos.
