  1. The coupe (32) looks great, especially after a few miles to settle the 'look':).

    Just for refference,the apple didn't fall far from the tree, and flatoz has, and carries the 32/33/34 banner with equal success, so, props to what is a great rodding family.

    Cheers,

    Drewfus:)

    Thanks for the kind words folks and thanks to Corey (flatoz) for posting the pics. I'm just glad to finally have it on the road and we're driving the wheels off it. I still have some more work to do on it i.e. remove the sun-visors (in a 3" chopped car????), remove the dash padding on the 40 dash- how can you hit the dash when you're wearing inertia reel seat belts?, get rid of the windshield washer squirter dude and the kilometer per hour speedo and change the steering wheel to a 40 Ford to match the dash. I think that's all but I may remove the headrests- engineers requirement- and fit some white plugs in the holes.

    The color is a current Aussie Ford color- a very light blue metallic which is nearly silver and I painted it where those pics were taken. The missus kept coming out and saying " Swifty that's silver" and I said " Look in the can at those blue swirls-it's not silver, it's blue". Clear has 50% flattener in it so it's an Aussie version of Hot Rod Flatz.

    Biggest problem is that the missus loves driving it and as I've been a p***enger in her 33 for years I definitely don't want to be a p***enger in my 32!

    Sorry mate I'm too old and not smart enough to do a build thread. My 3 boys gave me a digital camera when I retired with-I think- the idea that I could do a build thread but it never happened. I did take pics as the build progressed but a thread never happened. You'll notice Flatoz was the one who posted the finished pics.
