Hi, My name is Dan. I'm a 64 year old fogie that's been addicted to the 32 FORD since I was 14 or so. - I've put together a couple of "sleepers" over the years, but none of them were 32's. Back in 1963 I put a brand new 360 H.P. 327 in a 1954 Chev.Tudor I had.It was great fun! -After my divorce, early 80's, my daily driver was a 1933 Plymouth 4door. The 52 6cyl. that was in it ****ped out & needed new power, so I put in a 1967 Jag 4.2 Liter OHC 6 with 4 speed, just because I had it & it was so different. (I had a choice of a 350 small block chev. or the Jag). It was more fun than the 54 & I wish I still had both of them . I've been piecing together a 32 Roadster for more than 20 years & hopefully will start ***embling it this year . Also have a 32-5wc,33-5wc& a 1934 Fiat Roadster .You have a great site here. I've already found a tranplanted guy in the HAMB that I knew during my club days,& expect to find more. DANZEE
Yeah, it was what I had available at the time. MY oldest son had totaled the Jag , so I put it in . He probably wishes he still had the Jag. It was a rusted out hulk when we found it . Spent almost a year repairing the rusted out floor, then he took it out & put it in a ditch!
Welcome to the HAMB Danzee - I'm a lover of the 32/33 coupes myself ... a few years back my mate had a 32 roadster with a v12 jag motor - like you say it's good to see something different...good luck with the project
I'm really glad to have found you all . I'm super new to this computer thing & it took a couple of months to stumble into your site . It's a great place for info about whats goin' on in the HOT ROD World !
Hey Dan, You finally did it! I remember cruising to the 78 Columbus Nats at about 75 mph in Mikes Orange 39 Chevy that you might remember, and you p***ed us with the 33 Plymouth like we were going backwards. If I remember correctly, that was still the Plymouth 6 cyl in there. You should try to post a pic of the 33 3 window. That car has a great chop that I think everyone would appreciate.
Yeah, the flattie 6 that was in the 33 Ply . 4 door when I bought it came outta a 52 Mopar . It wasn't my fault about the MPH . My speedo said I was only doin' 55 .(It was a speedo gear problem). When my speedometer read 37 MPH,I was actually goin' 55MPH, so........Anyway, this here pic was taken in 1988 . Grandson was about 5 . I can't remember if this is the same pic that was in HOT ROD MECHANIX .
Ok, so now you have a picture of the jacket for your avtar, I guess you wno't be needing it anymore right? I'll pick up the shipping costs!
Oh Yeah, the jacket.........now where the hell did I put it? .......O.K. don't worry, I found it . Now I gotta put it back on the hanger & stick it in the closet for another 20 years .
