Long time hot rodder (read, "old guy"), active street rodder, pinstriper from way back. Drive this light blue real '32 everywhere with wife and group of friends and their cars. Photo is of my old high school. (They tore it down last year!) Pretty much like anything to do with old cars. Especially like early day circle track stuff, jalopies, track roadsters, post war stuff.
Welcome from next door....more or less. Nice looking coupe. How about more info about it? Photos and words will make us happy. And, yeah, this site is sorta like an old folks home for rodders. Although, lotsa young 'uns here too.
Yup! You're pretty close. Ever get this way for rod runs? Big show in our back yard, (Goodguys) Larimar County fairgrounds, Ft. Collins area, just a mile from my house, early June. Coupe is one we picked up from back east 11 years ago, mostly in pieces, but all there. It'd sat for about 20 years after an aborted start. Repaired a bad chop, re-crowned doors, new So-Cal ch***is from Cornhusker, built 283 with trio of 97s, T-5, QC. Lotsa louvers and I did the striping. I prefer white walls, wife likes the black ones. Swap back and forth. Like to change the wheels/hubcaps this year if I can find the right ones to keep the late fifties look.
Cool car and welcome for sunny Florida. Always nice to meet new people and share some stories and memories from the past. Jimbo
