Projects 32 5W Build - The $4K Swapmeet Body / The Old Chrome Coupe

Follower #4 here with great interest as always!

 

I believe it's like the old-fashioned letter to your Congressman where it represents the views of around 13,000 folks.
A lot of us don't have anything constructive to add, just a lot of fawning over your talent, so we choose to lay low.

 

I see what you did there

A lot more than 3 of us following along! Some of us are just sitting back watching in awe.

 

Lots of good stuff here!

 

Yes; a lot more.

 

I have been watching also . car is looking great

 

Another great car!
If it says @NealinCA , I’m in!

 

Back when I started the "whose posts do you always read?" thread Neil is one of the folks I was thinking of.

 

Great informative thread showcasing some amazing talent. Great stuff.

 

Here is my jalopy I have been gluing back together. I found it all cut up into pieces in a tree line between two farmers' fields a couple of years ago. It can be done with some patience.

 

Watching this thread reminded me to go back and re-read Neil's 32 pickup post. It's just as full of nice work and creativity as this car.

Also I re-read his home-made grill shell thread.

If you're lookin' for a rabbit hole to go down for several hours just search for Neal's posts and read them all.

 

Man! I love old chrome! Really ALL chrome! Great job on the coupe and thanks for sharing with us. I don’t know if I’m number 5 follower or 500, but you do great work.

 

Is it real or is it Photoshop...

 

Though the shop is looking pretty clean, I'm saying it the haircut is real...

 

Neal, Now that's progress. How about a profile shot?

 

Nice!

 

Hey Neil - love the work and the car in general. If you need anything on the flathead engine arena, let me know. Be happy to help from afar.

 

Sorry I'm late finding this project, really liked the Roadster Pickup and Fordor builds. Bob

 

I'll follow along, you do such nice work!

 

Photoshop.

 

Yes, my good friend Josh at Carrillo Customs is a wiz with photoshop...



We did some parts trading, he's gettiing some 32 parts, I'm getting a chop...

 

Fantastic! Hope to see it in Oklahoma!

 

I think reality is starting to set in and next year looks like a more achievable goal with the 5w. We are still planning to make the trip to Oklahoma in October, but likely with this...

 

Neil, seeing your beautiful fordor sure makes me miss mine! HRP

 

Your gonna have a blast either way!

 

First peek with a door on. Whatcha think? Should we put it back to stock height, or did we do OK?



And sorry about the poor quality pic, I'll get some better ones tomorrow when we roll it outside.

 

Great thread...been following along with interest. I saw the first pic and thought to myself, man the looks good...then I saw the second pic and thought MAN, THAT LOOKS GREAT!!

 

I judge 5Window top chops by the quarter windows, yours look perfect.

 

Looks great, not super crazy, but will be a mean looking hot rod when it's done

 

Great work Neal! Your 5W will be a knockout! If I make it back to The Roc this year we'll have twins!

Danny, I have a hard time selling anything, especially a '32, so I always say "Wait for my estate sale, it
will be a good one!"
