1932 Ford Hot Rod chop project

Well, I figured I would finally post some pictures of my current project. I bought the body a few years ago off Ebay. My wife and I drove to Texas and picked it up in the back of my truck. The body had the usual rust, but had all the moldings and dash. Since I have owned it I have: Built a shop, Worked on my house( Never ending) and worked at my job. I think it's time to get back to the sedan. Here it is when we brought it home.

 

Looks like a real good start, keep posting photos & updates.

 

Great project. Keep us updated on the progress.

 

Here are some more pics when she came home.

 

Taking it apart for sandblasting. Sure helps to have good friends!!!!

 

When she went to the sandblaster... and when she came home

I cast my vote for a 4 inch chop.

Your pool equipment looks almost as old as the car!

 

All that's gone now. The shop is there.

 

The car is already chopped. I am working on the door tops now. Just trying to post the pictures of past progress. Current pictures are on the way.

 

Here are some of the floor after blasting. The frame is getting engine/ trans mounts.

 

The new sub floor and the body on the frame.

 

...now I know why you didn't pm me back this morning...

 

A few more.....

 

Pre-chop

 

It's cut!!!!

 

Fitting the top back on.

 

So, How much did you end up taking out of the top?

I cut it 3 inches. I saw a sedan at the L.A. Roadster show built by the Kennedy bros. and really liked it. Also, I am 6'4'' and need to fit in the thing.

 

Traditional looking Hot Rod. It will have a few un-traditional aspects though. Now it has a 4'' I beam with split bones. Rear suspension is '36 bones with '41 spring. '56 F-100 front brakes and '59 ford rear. Steering column is '40 Ford.

 

looks great, i live 32 tudors, i guess thats why i have 2!

Great looking car. I love the one the Kennedy Bros. did. The top is just right for a big guy. Will the car be primer or paint?

 

Dang, you're a ****Z n' GITZ kind of guy. I'm sitting here drinking coffee and surfing the HAMB!

That sedan is looking AWESOME, great job, great shop too....

 

I felt like a **** when I asked them if I could sit in their car to see if I could fit. The plan for paint on my sedan changes daily!

 

This is making me want a 32 tudor!

 

wish i had one

 

Good looking build!.......on a sort of O/T note your progress pics really make me miss my ol dog. He used to help out in the shop whenever I was out there....Good pup!
