Features '32 Ford 5W. PICTURE THREAD!

I'm thinking there is something very showy about this HEMI powered coupe, but, I'm really digging it nonetheless.

 

heres mine

 

Some crappy pics of mine the way it looked the last time it was on the road. Project has been stalled for some time now.

Love the Bingham coupe now but the white version was the bee's knees.

 

What a shame it had to get damaged after surviving all those years. Any word on what is going to happen to it now? I'd assume it didn't get auctioned after this.

 

Man what a heart breaker,,, HRP

 

Gotta agree! That's one badass 5w!

 

But, it's probably the easiest fixes when considering all the late model cars with similar damage. New hood top, maybe a fender tweak, turn the headlight, and it's back on the road. That's just one reason I love those old Fords!

 

A weee bit more to it than that,..... there is also roof damage that dosent show up in this picture.

 

Guess I'd better take back what I said, what a shame...

 

wow thats horrible.

 

That makes me sick to my stomach.

 

A fucking tent pole!!!! That just absolutely blows....

 

Thanks Hemi32, I learned something. I was confusing the two cars, I have never seen the Yakel coupe in color.

 

If thats all it took to knock the bumper off, I wouldn't want to be rearended, with the tank there and all, but still makes my stomach churn.

 

What the heck was it that hit it? I read that it was a tent pole but geeez! how big was the pole cause thats some pretty bad damage from an average sized tent pole Thats terrible!!

 

Elmer Snyder? Is this "unsprung" Snyder, who later raced a flathead powered dragster, and was running the nostalgia drags in same car, maybe still at it? If so, one of many unsung heros who has been at this a very long time.

 

Thats a shame.
But if you use my 3 step diagram, as you can see this 5 window can fixed
in a jiffy. Hell its sorta already on step 2.

blackout ...

No worries ... this is what the HAMB is all about ... I learn something new everyday!

Also, after I replied to your question, I noticed that klazurfer had beat me to it:

 

296ardun ... yep, same Elmer ... he lived in Newman, Ca (west side of San Joaquin Valley) back then ... and was an original member of the Westside Auto Club.

 

Damn! ... I guess I shouldn't have posted those pics of the damage suffered by the "Lou Bingham Coupe" last Thursday @ the Russo & Steele Auction in Scottsdale ... at least not without a complete explanation ... I just assumed everyone had heard about the incident: checkout the "Blown away at Russo and Steele in Scottsdale" thread ... and the "Damage Pics" HERE & HERE.

Coke-bottle ... I apologize that your "Deuce 5wd Picture Thread" got hi-jacked with all this "drama."

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming ...
