Hot Rods 1932 Ford 5W Garage Find Build

I picked up a 1932 ford 5w that was purchased in 1981 for $1400 with the original frame, the previous owner had dreams of building a full Fender hot rod. From all the paperwork that came with the car it looks like the frame and components are from Pete and jakes. When I first went to the sellers house the parts were all over and the frame was bare, I ***embled it into a roller and mounted the body to get it home. Here are some photos I am starting a build thread.

 

Great Find

 

Cool .... make it a real fast Hot Rod

 

A good beginning.

 

Hurry up, already!

 

It looks to me like an original frame with possibly P&J components. Check the left frame rail by the cowl for a serial number. Or there might be one about midway of the door or on the top of the rear arch.
You have a great start there.

 

You are correct after looking into the frame further it has a number just under the firewall on the left frame rail. Looks like from Pete and jakes it has #1062 front shock mounts, #2014 Panhard bar 9in, #3040 Brake and clutch ***embly, #3003 4-bar front kit, #3011 ladder bar kit, #3520 tubular crossmember. Frame seems to have all pretty good parts on it for a older frame build

 

Great start.

 

Excellent start. Looks like you'll be hunting the swap meets for all the missing parts or spending lots of $$$ at UPAC and Mac's. I had to pay lots of $$$ for my UPAC 32-5 window body LOL

 

The parts looks like most of the car is there with a bunch of new parts.

 

Cool find.
What's the back story, how did find out about it?

 

As the saying goes.....their still out there, just not over here.
Great find

 

Few more Pics from today

 

The story I was told by the son of the owner, The car was bought in 1981 in Kansas for $1400, his father wanted to build a full fender hot rod more street rod style. He p***ed away earlier this year and his family was selling his cars, I found it on Facebook Marketplace

 

Wow! You've got yourself a real man's jigsaw puzzle there. Have fun with it.

 

Winner

 

Great find! Gonna be a fun build. How'd that escape from here?

 

Looks like a great start on a fun project. You have a lot of nice parts there.

 

Lucky

 

Cool start to a great car!

 

Okay I officially don’t like you

I’d probably change my mind if you put everything in a 20’ sea can and had it delivered to my driveway

 

Few photos of the 32 from the s****book that came with the car along with the original newspaper AD

 

Congrats, that's a great find!

 

Fantastic find! Do the build justice!
$1400 was a damn good buy for that in 1981.

 

Ya done real good - so what’s the plan?

 

Or a Hot Rod real fast!

 

Don't bother sbf001 for awhile. He's gonna be busy. Great find, now make it your own.

 

Dang! What a great pile of parts. The body looks really solid. Did you get an engine with it?

 

Unfortunately no motor It was sold before I got the car
