Hello,



For me, the 1932 Ford 5 window coupe is the most difficult to get right in any proportions. Chopped, no chop, rake, no rake, all difficult to make it look right and keep the correct proportions. Old eyes don’t help much, too. Ha!

"There was a constant edge of fear that night, in the pitch black industrial area. We were certain the Philly cops would descend on us at any second. Suddenly, right behind me, Freddy Allen lit up that “Devil Deuce.” Well, I’ll tell you, along with my edginess, the explosive sound of that killer hemi scared me straight up in the air. I turned back and that savage machine was shaking the ground. Fred was running a fuel mixture and flames were shooting out of the exhausts. The noise was crippling. None of us had ever heard an engine like that. Ever! Everybody stepped back, way back.”
