I am going to build this into a traditional hotrod. what do you think?already a later flatty in a B model so modified already,no problems about leaving original.
I cant stop oogalling this car What would be the general decision be I wonder? Splurge on a dropped heavy axle, chrome Mercs with top hats, or without the caps, smaller wires, black or white walls, cant imagine what else would need to be done....just amazing! Hope it has twice pipes already
Id sell it and get someone elses project, that thing could fund it all day. Hell sell it to a museum.
I dont know ,I bought it out of NewYork I believe it originally came from Texas some 8 years previously.
I already have lincoln brakes 3inch dropped axle and some steel wheels for the car ,other than that I plan to drive it. Here is the deal ,I only bought this 32 because someone wanted my other roadster,and was prepared to pay,what I think was silly money for it. I then started looking for a replacement ,this is it.
This one looked just like it before it got juice brakes, a dropped axle, '40 steelies, 2" chopped windshield, and '50 Pontiac lights.
This is what I am thinking about . My previos roadster had a similar look to it ,it was less trad though,347 tremec 4 bar etc .I found it was like driving a 60s muscle car, went like hell changing gears . I built it that way and then decided I wanted a more traditional hotrod. When the offer came to sell it I turned my thinking about how to go about it.This is an easy start to realise it.
I think you are headed in the right direction. There is no 32 ford on the planet that doesn't look better as a hot rod.
I couldnt leave it like that! 16" Steelies, Blackwalls, get rid of the spare on the rear, smaller black headlights, dropped axle, chrome exh tips out the rear. Hope to see this at the RCCRC run!
I agree , there is the view to leave cars alone, I am a Hotrodder I look at stock cars, nice, and then start thinking what I would change .
That is the only thing I am undecided about,I really want to. The problem is here in Australia we have fender laws,and I really dont like the look with cycle guards.I could run it without them, then the hotrod nazis would be after me.
