Heres another car for the great northwest. word has it, its getting a flathead, no fenders and 100% traditional styling.
That's about the seventh 5-window to fall out of the woodwork in these parts in the last few months. Good for you.
its been around a while. just needed a little love. Im really anxious to see it getting put together.
Man-o-man...first time I saw that car I thought it was the worst 32 coupe ever (even worse than your's Doug) and then the next time I see it it's cut into 12 pieces and looking BAD. Now it looks like something! Great work Jim, I need to come up and see it in person!!!
Thanks for the kind words. Its amazing what 18 hours of beating can do to a car. By the way this one almost cost me my nose picking finger due to an unfortunate incident with a peanut grinder. Oh well I guess a 32 is as good of a cause as any to sacrifice some good ****** hunting.
Hell Jim, I'd give my left nut for that '32... And my right one for just a fraction of your skills. Whatever became of the old T-bird you were putting back together last year?
Still workin on it. New paint, rewired and the big motor is out getting rebuilt. in the meantime its got a stock 312 for puttin around town.
No, This isnt my deal. i just helped out with putting it back to being a car. The owner is a car guy and he will be building it his way. im just glad to have been a lil help in getting it on its feet so to speak.
Was it as bad as my own? For some reason I am depressed about the situation hahaha!!! I hope I can whip mine into shape and have it looking like that one in a year or two. Keepin' the faith and saving my nickles.
Jim, you should start making stamps "Jim Sibley touched this car" it would add value. With the little you've done here it looks great, at least presentable.
Cut 2" all around the trunk out and throw it away, then beat the car to death with a sledge til your blue in the face...then it's as bad as yours
wtf? Did somebody actually find that train car full of 32's at the bottom of a lake in the PNW? You guys just have too damn many of them lately. Though, I'm getting closer to finding that farmer that stashed two dozen in his barn over the years.
As far as I know the train load of cars is just a myth. The pnw is still a good place to get some tin but we are trying to get them all out and back on the road, so the barn finds and field cars are getting a lil more scarce. This car has been a local car for years. It was used to patch up a fairly well known roadster, and A local car guy rescued it from destruction many years ago. Im just stoked that it will once again be a rod to be driven.
