The Cain '32 Roadster build

Looking good man!

 

Dude really nice work!!! You're killing it on this one. I think my favorite part besides the overall stance is that license plate fixture. So classy, I will definitely be stealing that.

 

AWESOME CAR!! I got a question are you using larger than stock valve springs because of the big roller cam. The reason Im asking is because I have a 390 cadillac with a solid roller in it and they put some big valve springs in it. I didnt build the engine. I understand its a different engine and different style valve configuation. I was just curios if you were or not. Again very well built car love the frame.

 

Great looking '32!

 

Thanks much for the detail on bob'ing the rear of the frame! I'm wavering back n forth on doing that to my '32 and you are really starting to convince me.... What a killer Build!!!

 

I really like the change on the rear spreader bar! To me the original tanks on '32's look like an afterthought and this is the cure. Keep up the great work and posts! This is a very enjoyable thread!

 

Sounds, good, I'll check it out!

Thanks!

Means a lot! I LOVE your truck!

Steal anything you want! We're all here to help everyone out, just wish I was closer to your place down there!

Yea, the springs I believe are 80-90lbs on the seat closed, but don't hold me to that, I'll find out for sure!

Thanks man!

BOB IT!!!

Same thought I have, never liked the look of the stock tank unless it's a fully fendered car

 

Outstanding work, Brian! Very nice . . .

 

Looks incredible! Thanks for sharing!

 

loooks really good, im not a fan of the rolling bones style but i love the attention to detail you've got with it all, do you have any more pictures of the front friction shocks im toying with the idea of building some for my roadster so need ideas for them cheers

 

Yea, i can get some detailed shots for you, I'll get them up here.

 

I'm really enjoying this thread. Like most folks, I appreciate the detail photography.

 

The gauges are awesome, going to be a real nice car.

 

rad, need some pinstriping on her let me know (check out some of the Dropped Axle Productions hot rods)

 

Amazing build... your attention to detail is really making for a kick as Hot Rod!

 

Wow.... now that I've found this thread, I'll be checking back often. I like your vision.

 

Very interesting build. Been looking for Hemi powered roadsters.I`ll be watching this thread.

 

Anything new?

 

Weeelllllllllllll, I've been collecting a lot more parts, getting the chassis all finsihed, BUUTTTT I found an original Henry steel '32 5 window. Sooo the roadster body is going on a frame I built a while back as a roller and it's going for sale I think. We'll see when I get the 5 window to the shop. Stay tuned.

 

gotta love the 5winders

 

Rad!

 

Cool thing it, it was a hot rod back in the late 50's, super hard chop on it, still wearing it's original lacquer from back in the day.

 

So the roadster body is sold and is leaving this weekend... and in it's place is going a real deal Henry '32 tudor sedan. I wanted a sedan from the beginning and think I found one that will look real nice on the chassis. 5 1/2" front 5" rear chop is in order of course, more on this soon!

 

what happened to the 5w?

 

yeah where's the 5w???? Damn this is taking a whole new turn now huh? I'm really hoping you'd have this thing at our Auto Fair party!!!

 

What the HAMB is all about!

 

Mr. Cain, we need pictures of the 5W! Please.

 

I'm starting a collection of '32s! The 5 window needs full subrails as it was channeled hard back in the day, I might return it to it's former glory as a channeled hot rod in another build.

 

Here's the 5w that I just picked up...



And here's what is replacing the roadster body...



This should get fun.
