Cold outside, warm garage is best place spend time. Today 6-7hours putting car together. It takes time to find right position using new bolts washers and locknuts. I desided to use fender welt as much as possible. Grey dog is handicapped, but looks great after polishing. Aulis
Drv side ready too. Hood, headlights, taillights, front bumper.... After that I leave this project. Owner can make it ready after I have made "dirty jobs". Aulis
Confused on your gray dog handicapped post until zoomed in couple times. The greyhound is missing left front paw. Wonder how many folks would notice. Great build as usual
Headlights, stands, horn bottom cups are recromed in Sweden 2years ago (www.dalakrom.se). Just bolted those on. Frontbumper is old, but OK. Doors and windshield window mechanism I just grease good with red tap grease. same with door open mechanism, if he wants to change those. I bought those 5-6years ago from Solvang CA. Hood hinge looks bad, but get it better after using autosol + big bench griner machine with puffing wheel -15 dec Celsius outside, warm garage is best place for man over "middle age".

do you happen to have a spare seat riser part are you going to bolt the bonnet strip ion are they simply 36 cars front bumper irons?
Sorry, I dont have any extra parts like seat riser. I think this car front bumper and irons are original ones. I shot windshield hinge pictures on Tuesday. Aulis View attachment 5905137 View attachment 5905141
Ready. Maybe one or two picture when street rod is outside (tomorrow). Next week I will continue my own 32 5w. aulis
Rock´n´Roll. Yesterday I push car out. Now on trailer waiting for that I tow it to owners place. I made short shoppig list, he can buy those parts (crome taillight stands (1934 pass), ped woods + strips, seat foam or new seat/original, .... My opinion is that car needs pinstripes. For example red, pastel orange, cream.... depence what color interior he choose. dark red, normal red etc. interior would give more perspective.... I like salt lake style wheels (Am.Racing), Im not sure if he has money to change those or just try to polish those rosted wirewheels. Today started to clean garage. tomorrow little more arrange things, sweep... and 1932 5w project is continue after years... Aulis
Thanks for sharing the journey @aulis...a lot of work in this project. Nice job you did on it...Yes pinstriping really compliments these old 30s Hotrods. If he cleans up the wires and tosses on some V8 wheelcovers that would look pretty decent while thinking about other choices...Share a pic of it when he gets done...He should be pretty happy with it, I sure would be. See you on the Coupe Project... Ho ho ho look at the snow...we just got some our way here...it's been quite beautiful really...like a Christmas card...
