32 Ford Coupe 50 years later

Looks great, any idea on when it'll see some paint and hit the road? Keep after it.

 

that just great! great story. i bet your dad is just thrilled to see it out and getting done. its amazing that you all held on to it for all those years. great job. looks like it will be a hell of a car all finished up!

 

Awesome story. Building a Model A Coupe now with my brother and also one with my dad. Always looking forward to Friday nights and the weekends. Enjoy your time together and get out and drive it, that's what it's all about.

Cool story... I bought a '35 Chev std in 1972. It just happens that I was brought home from the hosp in one just like it when I was born. I wanted to get it done just to give my parents a ride in it. Sadly my Dad p***ed too soon, Mom is in a nursing home...it has been sitting unfinished for too many years.....

Your Dad's grin will be bigger than yours.

 

Great job, your Pops must be proud.

 

Great story.

 

I love the first picture with you guys and the car ready to tow.

I have picture of me as a boy 3 years and up playing in, on or with dads new hotrod. It was always exciting when we brought home another member to our family.

Great Story. Looks real nice!

 

Update. Dad called sun, seems he went to visit the coupe and the builder had it sitting pointed out in the driveway. Kinda odd he thought, then he was asked if he wanted to take it for a spin. Just down the street and back but Dad got to drive it. Now body comes back off for final prep for paint. Dad was STOKED.

Hell of a neat story

 

Wont be long now the wait is almost over finally.

 

Sad, Sad news. My Dad p***ed away in January. The coupe is still unfinished but will be at the HAMB Drags this year. It needs to make a run.

 

Wow, didn't expect that. Sorry to hear about your dad.

Good luck with the car.

Mart.

 

So sorry to hear about your Dad, its great that you were able to share so much and I'm sure he will always be riding with you. I lost my Dad 27 years ago and I always wish I could have spent more time with him.

 

Sorry for your loss, you should send the glove box door to someone and get your dads portrait air brushed on it ..

 

Sorry for your loss.Lost my Mom and Dad a year apart in 93/94.Miss them a bunch.
