Projects Martin Ford´32 5 Window Build

Nice work. Like the way you remounted the body and all the frame work. You're the man.

 

Quality workmenship!

 

Martin please post some pics of the floor when you get it done I need help on my 5 window thanks Terry the owner of the Bettie 32 now know as the Lucky Bastard coupe !!

 

Great build, i think i will copy your X-member on the exhaust! My 32 Coupe is a noisy ride... and i will build a new stainless 2.5" exhaust system this winter. I have bought the same polished casted stainless headers like you from Speedway. And some mufflers from Flowmaster they had the shortest ones with chambers inside. I also got some inserts from Car Chemistry to have inside the tubes, they are said to reduce the sound good.

Where in Sweden are you located? I live in the South of Norway. And have been a couple of times in Sweden with my 32 Coupe!

 

Would love to, just needs to find someone who takes care of my shop and also sends me a paycheck every two weeks

 

On it´s way =)

 

Cool =) , Im from Stockholm. Let me know in case you are around here.
Now adays Im working with a Norweigan TAFC team from Larvik, came home yesterday from santa pod but sadly we didn´t do as well as we hoped =(

 

real nice start

 

Looks great, subscribed.

 

Been a lot of work this week but finaly got some time to spend in the garage yesterday, I made the final pair of exhaust rubber brackets.

Also got informed that to get the 32 thru the tech-inspection and make it street legal here it has to have a forged front axle. It realy sucks when I now have a brand new cromed,drilled and casted super bell.
Have you guys ever heard that anyone have cracked/breaked on of these ???

 

Wish I had your talent. Awesome build thread with great photos! Can't wait to see the finished product. Finished my '32 5W this summer. Turned out ok (have a build thread if your interested), but still need to find the green ($$$) to finish the interior. Thanks for sharing.

 

You got a realy nice coupe there, my car feels more like a pile of parts , hopfully I can get it running till next summer

 

I decided to make my own Column Drop and it turned out like this.
The column is from Limeworks with a 16" 40th ford wheel.

 

Time for an update =).
Here is a little "project" in the project, been looking for thin wheels in 17" and 18" and notised that I cant find what I want so I dicided that I´ll try to make my own wheels.
This will probably take some time and time will tell how it ends, maybe they end up in the trashcan but hopfully it works out as I wish.
Left side shows parts that will be used to make the first wheel-center model.Right side shows the 18x5.5 rim.

 

I love your column drop.

 

Casted the model for the wheelcenters today , fun to test the homemade sandlathe =)

 

This one shows a mirrored outside of the Halibrand Smoothie style center.

 

And some real flames too .

 

More pics tomorrow =)

 

You can't leave us hanging with that!? Fire?

 

To make the sand smoother there is a liquid caled "black", it contains alcohol.
When you set it on fire the suface gets both harder and smoother

 

VERY COOL! You jsut blew my mind! I would really like to see shots of the entire process, if at all possible.

I vote TECH WEEK! haha

I'll take a set of big n littles please!

 

Now there is some realese powder on it, thats why it is so white and Fredrik puts on more sand and turns around the backside shaping blade. This is the method that the guys used to use when making huge church-bells back in the old days.

 

Here you can see the backside of the wheel after it has been shaped , also realese powder on this side.

 

A new "bottle around it and more sand. The paperpipe is for there for beeing a "adding aluminum hole"

 

And its done =) , now it is time to part it and get the "sand wheel center out of the mould

 

Wow, you're not messing around. Great work, looking forward to seeing more shots.

 

can`t wait to see the next stage....just a question/..all the sand cast moulding sand that I`ve ever seen is black..what are you using ?

 

Top skills!
