1932 Ford Vicky New Project - Sweet Little Vikki

Great progress!!! Keep us updated.

 

3/8 OMG!! you better cut all that **** off and start over it will never be correct if you dont fix it now.

 

I found the Vicky and Tudor Dimensions scans in the 1932 owners hand book. I get a kick out of the giant frame Blueprints were alot of dimensions are off.

 

Oh **** I'm going to have to wear my gl***es next time so I can get closer then a inch. Don't worry if it's off I'll take it off your hands It's looking good Aaron!

 

You, sir, have enormous huevos! Looks like it's coming along nicely, though. I'm glad I'm not building that thing. With my limited metal skills, I'd be scared to death to take on that much. Nicely done!

 

by the way what the hell are you using for the *** end of this one? 97 civic, or may i suggest the cl***y 91 ******?

 

I got the door skins made over the weekend. I didn't have the camera to take pics as I went, but it wasn't too hard to do. I just cut a piece of sheetmetal large enough to cover the hole, rolled it through the English Wheel a few times to get the curve on it then I bent the 3 sides on the brake and hammered the edges over the old door frame. Oh yeah, I didn't mention that I had to porta power the frame back into shape and put new inner patches on them too to give them some shape. The body is pretty tweeked so I am going to straighten out the B pillars when I chop it....

 

Looking Good Bro, Let me know when you want to get those roofs,

 

Nice, already looks 100% better with the patch panels and door skin.

Great build thread! I look forward to more progress.

 

Groovy!!!!

 

wow did you say "CHOP IT" i wouldnt!!

 

Do your thing to the car .Hell you saved it from a slow death anyway look forward to seeing it finished .My last 2 cents

 

Wow she's looking great, your just going to chop the doors right

 

Looks good Aaron. Shout at the Devil!

 

I chopped the door frames last night to even them out with the Vicky side window. I took 1.5 out of the rear and 1 inch out of the front pillar. I am going to chop the windshield area tonight to make it line up. After I get it all square and together I will chop it maybe another 4 inches. It will kind of have the appearance of an angle chop.

 

...hey bubba...here's an idea I'm going to steal from Walden Speed Shop for the front suspension/shock mount.

Houdaille shocks ****...ask me how I know.

The front of these Rolling Bones types needs a tube shock, me thinks, to really control the bounce.

 

Cool Larry! I might just have to try that setup myself..

 

Hey Larry, my opinion, moving the headlight mount back to shock mount really is smoother than the "bug eyed" look. I also favor the airplane style shock absorber. Regards, Ron

 

I worked on the chop the other night, here are the pics. I chopped the Vicky portion 4 inches. The front is from a Tudor and is chopped 5 inches to make it all line up....

 

'bout time you did something...

 

Looks KILLER

 

its not that i hate you..

its just i think your a spoiled brat.

 

Sweet Rat

 

Somebody's pretty decent with a piece of sheetmetal.

 

Not on this one. After taking my time on the Punk making sure everything was the best that I could do, the purpose of this project is just to drink beer and slap a car together. Piero has it right. Ha Ha!

 

Cool car.

What kinda fins you gonna run on it?

 

Tricky Vicky!

 

looking nice so far.
