Projects Progress, After 4 year wait.32 coupe

When was the car wrecked?

It looks like it wears its '50s laquer paint. Maybe those damn hot rodders were racing down the back roads and flipped.


Looks great and I wish my metal guy was that cheap!!!

 

In removing paint we found traces of blue. The car was wrecked in about 85 or 86. I was told the owner was on way home from a show....JOHN

 

THANKS NEAL Yours looks like it is coming along Also....JOHN

 

Stunning work. I'm really glad to see that you chose to save it instead of scrapping it out as a lost cause. Can't wait to see more!

 

Been following this one; getting that thing straight is soooooo much work!! And it looks like dude has got that roof dead-on! Exciting progress! Count me among the riveted subscribers to this thread.

 

Thanks for the roof shot Juan!!!!

 

Why would I scrap it out I bought it this way. Its the only way I could afford a 32 five window....That and any 32 ford is not a lost cause....JOHN

 

Hey, great to see the build on the coupe.
Just a quick intro, I too do the same thing and go to the clients place to work on his car, no hassles no complaints.
Its great working this way.
Just recently did few caddilacs in Europe , and now in Mexico doing a custom merc for a guy.
You can check it out here on the HAMB,... Mexican Merc 50

Good luck on the project.

 

Yes Ive seen that build and Your work is great also. Thanks .....JOHN

 

Hey John, Excellent job...your building my dream car. For now I will live vicariously through you.

 

Anything new today Juan?

 

Not much to see in pics, But he finished welding cowl skin in pass A pillar, Finished welding around winshield opening and has the right side rocker and patch fitted. He will be installing them tommorrow.....JOHN

 

Hey Johnny it's looking great .Maybe next christmas when I come out you can take me for a ride.

 

are you going to fill the roof? or are you going to use the wood and clothe like the original?

Also how much is it chopped?

Jeff

 

No not going to fill, Probbally going to be pleated in white to match the interior. Chop is about 3.5 inches best we can tell, with layed back A pillars....JOHN

And this kind of resurrection projects/work is true inspiration to one and all.
