Bonneville styled 1932 tudor build

Nice work man!!! It's coming together quick now!!

 

Chris,
Still one of the best 2 drs out there....See ya in Aug.

 

Great stance.....

 

Thanks guys, I don't have a ton left on the car. Kind of weird. Ha

Should have the car up and running by my open house this year. And ready for its first journey to Bonneville!!!

 

Wow man love the patina!!

 

looks bad ***, stance is perfect

 

Wow, thats a lot of louvers! Looks great

 

Looks great! The lettering really sets it off.

 

looks great chris

 

Looks great! I love louvered roof inserts.

 

Thanks, its still a work in progress. But I'm having fun.

Thanks, it was really a lot of work to get the proportions of the sedan to look the way I wanted. But I'm glad its coming together.

I do love lovers, and I'm so glad that I didn't mess that insert up. It was so stressful towards those last few louvers. Ha

I think so too, it was fun to play with how long the roof was.

 

looks stunning, Chris!!!
BTW: what a nice A coupe in the back... haha!!
Peter

 

Looking great Chris, you are on a roll now, keep it going !!!

 

Sneaky way to get the A coupe to B'ville. less than 3 hour trip.
148 days to go.

 

I love the tudors! Keep it up. Looks Great!

 

That stance is killer.....with a flatty too? Rad!!!

 

Ha, ya its been a fun car to have in the shop.

Im excited to be getting close. Im going to start making the gas tank next.

Thanks!

Ya, I cant wait to hear this motor roar! Not too much longer now.

 

I got the windshield frame fitted. It really made a difference on how the front looks.

Anyone know who makes the best weather strip for the windshield? One that fits like it should?

 

Dennis Carpenter's rubber fits well.

 

I read through the whole thread the last couple of days, and wow, coolest Tudor ever, can't wait to see it completed, superb job!

Murch.

 

Thanks Ill check them out.

Thanks I appreciate it. Glad you like it.

 

I got the dash in the car and started back on the steering. I want to re-make the steering brace on top of the transmission out of steel and get it fitting better.

 

Great build... thanks for sharing pics

 

I'm guessing that's yours Peter? Rick

 

Nice!

 

nice

 

Ive been working on the floor. Got all of the wood fitting. Im using a connecting rod an re-making the brace for the steering box on top of the transmission. Also got all the gauges mocked up in the dash.

 

Ha...love the shadows on the floorboards made by the light coming through the roof louvers. You're gonna have some weird*** tanlines this summer...

 

Ya its going to be a weird sensation to have the light coming from above. Ha



Here is a shot from what ill see with all the gauges. Ill have the tach mounted on the steering box underneath. Then from left to right: the left water temp is for the left head, then the oil pressure, then an original 32' speedometer, then the fuel gauge, the the right water temp for the right head. I want to be able to read what both heads are reading just to be on the safe side.

 

The dash looks very nice. I like the idea of having two water temperature gauges for each side of the motor. I dig the SW tach too..

I see you have what looks to be two different seat risers on there or something according to the m***ive lack of early Ford knowledge I have. It looks like the driver seat will be fixed while the p***enger seat will tilt forward for p***engers to get in the back or something. I doubt it's what that is but could you go ahead and explain what those are?

I'm far from this stage in my build but heck, I take any chance I can get to learn about something from that era.
