Another 32 " on the way " to being saved by a metalman

I saw this on a auction site but thought it was cool. Look at the magic the metalman ( Jeff Medford ) has being doing.







And now ...







Now sitting on this ch***is ...



I am just amazed at the work done and the results so far.
SURE ... it still needs a good bit of work but ... to be where it is NOW from where it was

 

DAMN!
Now THATS talent! VERY nice!

 

Hey, that made me smile... Thanks for posting.

Kevin

 

Wow that poor car had a rough life for sure.

 

that looks ****in cool!!!!

 

Too cool. I love these posts on saving 32's .

 

,,i can only hope to post one of those threads one day

 

how did that happen in the first place?

 

I've seen two other Deuces brought back from rollovers recently... it's worth it to fix 'em...

 

The ad says
A near fatal wreck flipped the car over a guard rail, crushing the car, which at the time was a strawberry/orange/pearl 1970’s full fendered beast with red velvet interior. Like most of us, the coupe has a good side and a bad side. The original body was salvaged and repaired by master metal worker, Jay Mefford, of Fresno, California.

 

if your not scared to tackle that job theres nothing that will !!!

 

I got 3 words. Talent, dedication and inspiring.

 

I think his correct name is Jay Medford.

 

I see that you are from the same city ... so you may be right ... but I just copied and pasted the text from the ad ... that's all I know about the spelling of his name. He sure has talent regardless of how you spell it.

 

Holyf@ck!!!....

Thats some great work.....

Imagine him and Jim Sibley going into biz together....all this old iron would live on!!

 

wow!

 

Looking at the "before" and the "now" all I can say is the man has talent, patience, and determination to bring that car back from the dead. very cool indeed.

this is some great work!, for something so wasted.glad to see it didnt get s****ed.i know its just roughed in ,but i was curious about the back window opening.seems tighter left to right.

 

Im seeing what your seeing, nice work I could only dream of having that sort of talent.

 

is he Jesus,he brought it back from the dead?

 

Awesume work. I guess that means there are no acceptable excuses for not saving one.

 

wow thats all i got.....Jones

 

Very impressive! How 'bout a link to the auction?

I know of a 34 sedan that got Tboned that I would love to fix.......looks like similar damage!

 

Ryan frowns on eBay links ... and that is why I did not post it ... but I see that someone else has ...

I did not start the thread to promote the auction ... just to show what a good metalman could do. I would like to know how many hours the owner had to pay for to get this far along.

 

aww **** and i sold my duece roadster becuz it had some rust! [1958]

Hey,

You'd be amazed at how fast a 'real' metalman or frame guy can
walk the B post and quarter, and rough out the various panels on a
job like this! 'if ' it took him longer than 10-12 hours, I'd be amazed.
A good frame machine, or a pulling post and some floor pots, a porta
power and twenty-thirty years experance.....a walk in the park!

You could build a pretty good replica of Doyle Gammel's old coupe with that as a starting point. Wonder if Bruce Meyer would let you borrow the origonal so you could get the details right. He's got so many toys I can't imagine him missing it for, say, a couple of years.
If anyone decides to try I've got a virgin L-88 sitting in the shop if you want to replicate that version. I was hoping Bruce would redo the car with the big block when he had it rebuilt but I guess millionaires are too cautious................. RIGHT!!!!

WOW! That's unreal! It just goes to show that Deuces will never die no matter what happens to them. Looks like it has a new door and possibly part of the quarter too. I see he sectioned it out to the middle of the roof, maybe so he could work those pieces on a buck or a piece of equipment. It would have been interesting to see how he did it. I love the way it sits on the stock ch***is too.
