    That is a very cool 32. About the only thing I would change is have "Buick Powered" on the hood, instead of "Dodge Powered". After all, it does have a Buick engine in it. Otherwise, it is perfect. :cool::cool::cool:

    By the way....It would look REALLY cool at the Byron Meltdown at the end of July. :D:D:D

    great car! seen it on here for sale before, looks like the right person got it as it's on the road! Please leave the paint as is! It is way cooler that way, that is part of the History. I really love how they "lightened" the inner door structure-too cool!!! Thanks for sharing the pics!

    It's cool and all the way it sits, but I would bring her back to it's former glory. If you have pics, pick a time in it's history and go from there.

    Took this pic of your 32 @ Eagle Field last month - sure got my interest. Would love to have a full fendered 32 - especially a 3 window.

    Don't know if you realized it but the track anouncer kept calling it a Dodge.

    I would only change one thing, put a nice red X over the Dodge and hand paint Buick above it. Otherwise, this car is perfect.

    I see nothing special about that paint other than the remanants of the original lettering. to me it has deteriorated past cool and on on to ****ty.

    if I had a car like that and money I'd tear it down and redo it all chrome and shiney

    That car came by its look the honest way not by some fake patina. What I wouldn't give to have it parked in my shop.

    Sounds like most of us agree....its perfect as is. We realize you may want to re-do it some day. its like chopping a top, once its done its over wether you like the results or not. Drive it for this season and then trade it for an old truck?

    BTW, at the end of the day scaring kids and little old ladies is about as traditional as it gets. We all should be so lucky.:)

    Hey Mike Sick *** car! It's nice to see you set a goal for eagle field and made good on it.

    Don't paint it!
    Your a hot rodder though and hot rodders like to work on their cars. I get that. Here's my 2 bits. The car has "the look" and that's the hardest part, So don't mess with that. My suggestion to you would be work on tying it all together and really dialing it in to a specific period with all the little stuff. Maybe things like bye,bye 4barrel and exhaust manifolds. Small stuff like that can really change up a car. It's all about the little things NO compramise, she'll be over the top.

    Crazy find. I'd at least restore it to how it appeared in the day. You never know what's under some of that patina, or what has become unsafe / needs to be updated if you want to return it to the track some day. Look at the all the famous rods, customs and racers getting invites to the big shows and see how they are being "refreshed," for example. Gary

    Too cool just the way you've done it! I wish I could complete my projects as timely as you have done the coupe, Great G***er. No on the repaint, unless you put it back the way it was in white with the lettering as it was back in the day..
