Projects Update #1 "32 Sedan is rollin"

I'm 6-3 and my sedan is chopped 2.5" inches and it's tight! I have to lean forward or back to see out the shield. Can get uncomfortable on long trips. You might want to sit in a chopped sedan before you chop yours.

 

Hard work is paying off! Look's timeless in it's style.

 

Nice work Rusty!
That body is a lot nicer than the shitty one in my garage.

 

Thats a great lookin' sedan '31. I was wondering about the tires, what size are they & where did ya get them. Have fun!:d

 

O.K., what is the front axle drop? It looks like 5 inches or so. Nice looking sedan. I would chop it unless you are real tall. Mine was chopped 3 inches and I had no problem being 6'-1". More pictures as progress is made. Sedans are super.

 

nice body!...if you chop it, I'll send the Guido Bros down there!

 

Thanks guys, I would love to chop it but it also looks good as is. We will see just gotta keep pluggin away at it

Rusty

 

It is a original 32 Heavy axle dropped I believe 4".

The tires are the typical 750-16 pm the rear and 500-5.25 16 on the front

Rusty

 

Actually the stock deuce axle is dropped 4 1/2". A guy in Missouri dropped it and drilled the holes.

 

Heres some more shots

 

I think it's fine as is...

 

thanks

 

Looking good !

 

Good look'in sedan!

 

What color is it going to be?

 

The frame and chassis components will be painted/powdercoated. The body will be as-is initially. Have not decided on a final paint. It will be shiny paint some day.

 

That is PERFECT! Please don't chop it. I'm all for a chopped sedan but you just can improve on perfection... Very nice.

 

Thanks everyone, hopefully gonna go a satin powdercoated chassis and components

 

Wow that looks good!!!
How about a close up of that rivet job on the roof. I cant squint hard enough to check it out.
I like the top unchopped

 

good looking sedan..best of luck..I dig the drilled axle

 

You are one lucky guy! A deuce,real steel!! Way to go!!!!!!

Looking good....real good!
Looks like your running a T5 with the stock K member????

Any pics of what you did to the K member for clearance or mounts?
I'm going to be doing the same thing to my frame and thought it would be nice to see what you did for idea's, if you don't mind that is.
