Well I am going to have a good time putting this one together. Good thing i like this cars ALOT !!!! Anyway I will be going to the Good Guys Show in Rhinebeck NY in a couple of wekks . I am wondering if anyone knows any vendors that may be carrying a set of Duece rails.I am interested in getting a set of those new rails for this and would like to be able to pick them up at a show. Anyways the pics are from yesterday. I just drove to CT and back yesterday to get this. I plan to build it fenderless.
I'm looking for 32 rails too. If you find a dealer that wants to bring 2 sets on a good price, PM me. What's the going price at a show?
Hell, I am not sure but i did see them at Syracuse for $650.00 and I am kicking myself for not buying them at the time
There's a guy who sets up in the swap meet building who sell's '32 parts and I think he has some 32 rails. He will be bringing a trailer load of '32 stuff that he recently acquired. His Name is Rich Grossharth; email me and I'll give you his number. I'll be the guy in the swap meet building with the gas pumps; stop by and say Hi!! gaspumpchas gaspumpchas97@aol.com "you can't mess with the law, Milner.." Officer holstein
Yea that frame might be a good deal for you, stamped steel frame in Illinois in the want ads like the last post said. I told a friend about it but he got a great deal on a New rolling frame at a show
I am really just looking for a new pair of those stamped rails. I want to put in my own cross members
I was wondering if you put patch panels in the lower front quarters of yours and if so who didi you get them from?
Man DRuss32, This some great info, I really appreciate it. I am going to do something very similar to my cowl. I have some work getting the back bussel area but I am up for the challenge. I think I am going to leave it a Leatherback. But i would like to round the top in the front like a 32 is. I think yours is like that. Well thanks again for the tips.
That is sweet! I like the looks of that but everyone knows if it has 32 in the description then it usually isn't cheap. I hope that i can afford at least the windshield frame. I think I can hadnle the rest. But it would be great to find a section like that.
I did speak to Rich Grossharth; he will be at the goodguys in the swap meet building next to me. He will be selling '32-'40 Ford parts, just acquired a large collection. He also has a friend that has 3 sets of repo '32 rails and would probably part with a set. See Rich and he'll hook u up. Tell him Charlie sent ya. Stop by the gas pumps, leaded premium for 29.9 all weekend see you there!!! "you can't mess with the law, Milner....." officer holstein gaspumpchas
Well I got my 32 rails from Hershey. Since then I have been looking for a 32 upper section so that I could round above the windshield. I think they look alot smoother and more pleasing to the eye. Being 32 **** is like GOLD I had to be happy with this. I bought a 32 Franklin or REO I can't remember what he told me it was. But I then went over to my friends and compared the above the windshield to his 32 Ford. They are very close in proportions. So this is my donor for my Vicky. I never got the doors with this so that is why I am chopping it up.
I thought I would show the new Mill I got for the Vicky.And this is it. I will be taking it apart and going through it. But that will be later. I am trying to gather everything I need for this car before I begin to play. Until I recieve the next Item ..........
I have to see how bad mine is but you have first shots on them if i don't use them. I am still deciding if I want it to be a metal or leather back yet.
Druss32 is the man to get to know in my opinion. I've got way too many irons in the fire but I seriously love what he has done from the bottom up.
