Hot Rods Another Deuce Five Window Gets my Attention

Are you sure there is enough clearance around the scary parts?

 

Yes plenty, plus I wrap anything close.

 

Nice winter project! Lookin' good!

 

Finished battery and kill switch install.

 

nice color coding

 

Sell it fast red

 

On to brakes etc. I can see why it stopped like crap.

 

Time to match shows to drums and adjust properly.

 

Making rear mounts for hood hold downs.

 

At my age I need to keep moving! Amazing how much walking I can do in a day and never leave the garage.

 

What are the dimensions and thickness of the hood hold downs? Does the bolt just act as a set screw or go into a hole in the frame? Thank you

 

Made them from 2” wide x 1/8” thick flat stock. Yes the bolt is just a set screw. No extra holes in frame and easy to remove when not running a hood. I made a set like these on my roadster and the work great.

 

Thank you! How long is the upper piece? I need to build a set for my roadster

 

It is 3-3/4 long on top!

 

Just redoing many fasteners to meet my standards. Nice place to be on a cold day. Warm garage!

 

Thank you! A copy will be making their way onto my car.

 

What's nice about my design is no extra holes in frame. Like to see them when finished.

 

Golly, there was more of the brakes not working than working! Should be capable of huge improvement. Makes you wonder how anyone could leave them like that / live with it ( or even risk dieing by it!). Probably wasn't driven much, possibly for that reason?

Nice work @ct1932ford...painting the rims red?

Are you going with the existing wires, steelies, chrome reverse...I'm excited and curious...

 

He's got red wheels on the roadster @Stogy so he'll have to choose something different for the coupe.
The car came with the option of the wires or steelies so Mark has chosen the wire option. Guess we'll have to wait and see the finished version.

 

Ct's flying along on this so it's not like watching ketchup come out of the bottle which is a bonus...it won't be too long now...Running wires might have the option of those smoothy optional covers they had back then but the curiosity is part of the excitement...

 

All garnish moldings and dash out. Header panel out. Those mice in Canada must be amazing . Found nuts in header panel. Will be adding sun visors.

 

...almost looks like skulls...did they get in through the 2nd wiper hole?...at least it looks to have only been storage...no nests and minimal trimmings...bonus

 

Please post a front view pic of your instrument panel and what instruments if not orig 32 Ford.Thanks,Sheldon

 

If you squint just a bit it looks like your shiftknob is encapsulated in a fancy wine glass. Yes is got me first time I looked at the photo LOL

 

Honestly, I don't see how they got in. When I got the car there were nests in the rumble deck lid. I even found one very skinny live mouse that apparently made the over 3000 mile journey .

 

Right on the money LB!

 

A mouse can squeeze thru almost any small space. Any mouse odor?

One of the coupe and one of my roadster that does have an early fuel /temp gauge.

 

No , I think the trip was too much for those rascals. I hope! There was a bar of Irish Spring in the rumble area. I should have known.
