Hot Rods Progress pictures of the 5W

Well here is what we dragged out of fab32's shop last fall


And here is what the body looks like now with fresh paint and sitting on a new frame. I used a lot of the old (70s) hot rod front end but put a new 9" in the rear. I also went to 16" wheels and WWWs. The color is our own version of red oxide primer although it looks brown when photographed inside. And no the exhaust is not going to hang out like that but it is going to come out in front of the rear tire.



This was the first test fit of the body and I'm pretty pleased with the look thus far. Tomorrow we are going to cut up a perfectly good original firewall to make it fit and start fitting the steering. I can't wait to get this one on the road under its own power instead of like this. This outside shot does show the color much better too.

 

man that is looking great!

 

NICE......Very nice!

 

Now that is BAD ***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks great. I dig the color.

 

WOW. Looks like a perfect candidate and your vision have created GREAT looking 32.

Neat Hot Rod.

Going to be a real nice hot rod,looks great.

 

Where did you find an original body in that shape? Most certainly not here in michigan! I would cut out a kidney and hand it over on the spot for a find like that...... Looks awesome.... I am jealous.

I love it! I love the stock height top too!

 

I'm jealous!

 

No chop for this one.... at least for now. I want to see how it looks and drive it for a while before I make that decision.

 

hey did you blast that body? then prime it? what was the process?

 

now im going to have to start working n mine, as i guess lookin at everyone elses is just makin me want mine done now

 

Looks sweet... i like it unchopped... it doesn't look like every other 5w.

 

Keep up the great work. i am itchin to be drivable just like you. I can almost taste it. Oh no that was spit up from "our" new born. Now I know where my spare time went.

 

Looks good. Hope you don't chop it!

 

No it wasn't blasted. The old primer was taken off the old fashion way.... air tools and elbow grease.
