Its has been close to 20 months from when I first started on the perimeter frame. I had my friend Hank at Steadfast Rods in Mansfield, Ohio box it, install the front and rear crossmembers, and jig the ***embly. I did everything else from there with some fabricating help from my son Scott when he was home visiting. I had almost all the parts I used from years of collecting and decided rather than selling them individually, to build one last '32 ch***is. I have always liked the engine and ch***is part of a build the best. I am not a body man! Anyhow today I hooked up a battery and put some gas in the tank and fired it up. It fired right up and ran for about 3 minutes before I shut it off. Still need to add some coolant and set the timing but for the most part...I am done and ready to sell this rolling ch***is (with ***le) in the spring. Except for the ASC frame rails, most of this ch***is is "old school" with many original '32 Ford parts. Here are some pics I took today (except for the bare frame when I started.) I will be putting an ad in the for sale part in late March. Just wanted to share some pics with my HAMB friends. I took lots of pics during the build and many are in my profile album.
