Pictures of 32s brought back from the dead???

Nice so far guys. 53 Effie that 3 window already looks badass!

 

And now it's even rougher than when you got it. What was once one piece is now two thanks to Mr. Sawzall.

 

Dan,
That thing is rough. first thing I would do, is start doing mocking it up. See how things line up and get some ambition going.

 

Yeah, I'd mock it up and paint the good parts green, and the bad parts red....you know "GO" and "STOP"

 

check out my 32 pics on my profile

 

NICE chris ill have to do that. Im going to home depot to get some red and green spray paint.

 

This one was pretty notorious in its day. Started with a body that nobody wanted, and ended up on the cover of Hot Rod.

 

About 25 years ago this one sat behind my brother's garage.....rusted and beat to hell. It was free for the asking and nobody would take it. Then my friend Bobo, one of the members of our "Dorks 'R' Us" racing team, took it on. A few years later he had produced this one. It's a beauty !

 

This is Dick Lewis's car, and was built from a mismatched load of body panels, all from different cars, all in horrible condition. I wish I had a before photo, I don't think Dick took one. When it was all piled in his garage for the first time before he and Dallas Ewing started to piece it together it looked like a tin roof that had been stripped off a shed and discarded.

 

My 5W was "crushed" by a mattress. Does that count

 

This stuff makes mine look pretty good. As the years have past, it has become a challenge to see what you can do. As long as you have the determination and time, almost anything is possible. There are no rules anymore and I like that.

 

Damn, and I'm worried about hanging quarters. You are the man Doug.

 

HOLY CRAP Fuel Pump! How on God's green earth did you ever bring that thing back to life!??!?!?!

 

yoyodyne, i heard that those wheels on your roadster are really unsafe. sell them to me.ha i have one 5 inch one i'm looking for one more.jim

 

Yoyodyne, wasn't it also wrecked after being built too?

 

Yep, a girl pulled out in front of him and stopped dead in his lane in a foreign econobox, bent it up pretty bad. That was before that photo.

 

Got this piece...anyone want it? The other side is laying next to it.

Mikey

 

uh...hell yea! me!

 

This is what I am starting with....

 

I could really use that back half! Bad!!!! Mine is SUPER rotted.

 

Her is a link to my save in progress. If it works.http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=316050&showall=1

 

You can click here to see a video of pictures from our rescue. We're quite a bit farther along now but it may offer some hope. Good luck

 

Here's mine..... Body was in Victoria isle, Canada

Here's some work in progress

And here is how she looks so far.... Not bad huh ?

 

Very nice Bobby, gives me hopes on my 33 5W X-stockcar

 

Heres my 5window ... It was missing the entire back half. What you see in the green primer is what was there. Someone made into a pick up is my guess. This is how it looks now

 

wow that things bitchin.

 

I want to bring this up, for reasons that are purely selfish.

By shortening the roof thru removing the rear doors and using roadster rear quarters, are you able to convert a 4-door into a 5 window, or does the rear roof-line differ too much for this to be noticeable?

TIA
