MEL....Il have more info this week....hopefully old pics and the complete story. Damn SIXPACK...I really dig what you did to make that coupe yours....
Thanx 31W, Cool cars Square roll bars!!! hahaha...cant wait to see that 33 of yours up and running!! Im still a ways off....this winter I think a fresh 51 Merc flatty will be going in....IF I can sqeeze the cash together.
Here is my 32 roadster build in late 50´s And I NEED info aboute this car I Hope some one can help me.
Does the left door show any signs of being welded shut? Any bronze paint? Fire damage? Im doubtfull its MUDDS.....but his never turned up. What are your plans man?
Whats the story?....where did you find it? Its not Mudds or Philly holmes.... should be easy to I.D.... due to the length of hairpins...
I fund it on NY -07 And I dont know if the paint is red ore bronze. They did use two 32 frame´s. Is channels 6 in front and 12 in rear! I want to find info about this car and restorit like it was.
Thats great news..... I will try my best to find you any info on this car.... Was the left door ever welded shut?
I dont really know I will look at it later to day. I muche one of a kind stuff on this car. Like the front and rear hairpins. It look like it never had any tail laite my be a nerf bar??
Ya that struck me as ood as well.... Has mounts for the front fenders....to comply with the law.... but no tailight holes... When you say two 32 frames...do you mean they used it to step the rear or lenghten the front.?
The frame are like a z in the rear. I did have the gas tank on top fo the rear axel. And it have a safety ring in the x member. I did run whit open drive shaft. swing pedals. The radiator fitt a stock shell, and it mount in front of the front member.
Hahaha....They just make all those down under run fenders... Ill check back later.... Gotta go work on the blue truck... The original builder... Ted Hoy and his family are coming this weekend to see it for the first time since the early 1980,s Dont know how this will play out..... My "HOYS HAULER" caretaking days may be just about over....heavy.
this car reminds me a bit of my 32, it came with a 1960 home built title. flat firewall, swing pedals, rough channel job. (mine had a plywood floor!) mines a 5 window with the top cut off though... I want to know WHY did they cut the drip rails off the sides! did the same thing on mine.... also, maybe they mounted the tail lights to nerf bars or the fenders??
That is the way we Zee'd the frame in the 50's, cut it on a angle and set the rear section on top then fish plate. When you channel 6" it gives you a 12" drop, if your frame is 6" wide. I'll try to find mine being welded up.
I should add mine. there wasn't a ton of channelled and unchopped 32 sedans on the east coast in the 1950's. It was started by Tiny Brown in 1953 and sold to John Otis in 1956. John finished it and owned for almost 40 years. They were both founding members of the Flywheels Autoclub out of Braintree MA.
I love Mustang tailites. They put the sunroof into the original top insert!! What about the Cragars and the reverse big and littles? 70s series in the front 60s in the back! I bet this car was cool before somebody "updated" it?
