HOLY Terror!!!!!! 32 ford gone baaad

I have been working on this for my kd for a few years. he is 8, and now his car runs and drives. This winter I will tear it down and do the paint and chroming. but for now, here it is.

 

Cool dad! But, I think you stretched the front a tad too much. Lucky kid none the less.

 

nice work. for your kid, huh?

 

That is much nicer than my 8 year old's hot rod!!!



I'd better not show him, or he's going to get jealous!!!

You build some awesome stuff, Jim!

 

Jim,... that coupe is really cool,... I remember when I asked you about it, when it was a pile of parts a couple years ago,.. you said "nah",.. I going to build it for my son,...

But you had a lot on your plate at the time, so I thought you would get to it in a decade or so,..... You never fail to amaze me !,.... Nice work,... AGAIN !

 

Now that looks BADASS!!!!
I think I would pee my pants if I pulled up beside that at a stoplight
Excellent work!

 

I dont know, your kids 27 looks pretty cool to me.

 

That is a sweet looking ride. You have one lucky son there.

 

I heard that people stack around Jim's house during allergy season: he sneezes out nicer cars than most folks can build in a decade...

 

Very nice! What color are You going with?

 

adopt me? nice wheels. they will have all the fun with the girls.. there poor friends.
chris.

 

My '55 gasser is going to be for my 3 year old

 

The kid wants it blood red with classic flames. I am trying to find someone that can chrome the entire frame.

 

Dad!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sweet, glad to see her come to life!

 

Advance plating did it on the owners car but I think they made the frame bolt together. Chromezilla I think it was called.

 

Shoot, looks just fine with the patina. What's the rush?

 

No rush. Im havin fun driving it for now. Its just that Im a finished car kinda guy. I will want to pull it down and make it pretty.

 

LOL I was thinking this myself. Good looking ride and a excellent father at that. You have a very lucky kid who has a great dad. Car is awesome looking and cannot wait to see it finished to your liking. Me i like it as it sits.

 

Beats the hell out of a Tonka Toy!

 

You should get the Dad of the year award !

 

DADDY!! Daddy, it's me.......your long lost son............

Hell, I had to buy my fathers car to get anything from my parents!

You rock Jim.

Doc.

 

Dig'n the old drag car look. Good luck with your porject.

The Rock

 

Nice !

 

Very cool, your son is one lucky kid...

I've heard some people have had issues over time with an entire frame being chromed though, didn't one of roth's show cars have a chrome frame that was found to be unusable when they restored it? Maybe it depends on the process used?

 

Jim I hope you put a govenor on it. My 19 year old blew up 3 ford 6's and he is not done yet I built the boy a cool 62 falcon flaked roof tuck and roll but it was fun to watch. Hey you got to love em he thinks dads gonna give him the 3 window next. Not happening !!

 

Has a real evil, nasty attitude to it. Nice job!

 

I bought my son a 46 ford coupe when he was 15. It has a 351 c in it.

It had a motor mount that was a little loose. When we put the fan shroud on it and you tried to take off fast, the fan would hit the shroud and make one heck of a noise.
I left it like that for 2 years. solved the burnout issue!!

He is 19 now has taken really good care of his car.

I told him I will sign it over to him when he graguates college.

I'm sure your son is stoked!!!

 

very nice he's pumped to have a dad like you.

 

Very cool, I dig it just the way it is, but I'm sure it will rock when it's done.
