    My wife just bought a digital camera so I thought I would try and post some pictures of a 32 roadster we are building for a customer. It is a brookville body, with a 55 Olds 324. this car has been alot of work I hope you guys like it.

    That looks great! (Interesting place to route the exhaust).

    Is the exterior staying like that, or does the customer have something specific in mind?

    dude, I am dying over here I want to post more pictures but I am completely lost. the car is going to go to paint next week. I have a few more details to finish up, that is the first 32 I have ever built. I am really happy with the way it turned out.

    P.s. the exhaust crosses over from the drivers side under the front of the pan to the p***enger side.

  12. that looks nice....i see you used an original `32 firewall and managed to get the motor in without modifing it too much. what are you using for steering? looking at the p***enger side,it seems like it will be a tight fit on the drivers,with the headers and clutch pedal

    The steering is f-100. mated to 38 ford column and banjo wheel. We utilized the stock column lock from the 38. The steering is a tight fit with the starter, that is why I had to cross the exhaust over to the p***enger side.
    thanks for the kind comments. We are hoping to have the car done for the lonestar roundup.

    That's going to be one super '32. I especially like the fabrication work you've done on it. Lets see some more pics as it goes together for the last time.

    The frame is from Squeak Bell of the kiwi connection. The front has a model A crossmember, with 4.50-16 tires. The rear has a crossmember that we made in the shop, with a 40 ford spring, and an early style nine inch. The rear tires are 7.50-16. I am so glad to finally see the car in its finishing stages. I will see if I can find some more pictures to post.
    thanks

    P.s. the coupe is in temporary storage until I get to fix a few things on it.

    HEMI/.....Beautiful work and craftmanship.....STUNNING!!!!!!...I wished you live closer to work on my Hemi truck [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
     
  30. Super nice piece. The Olds looks great in there, nice fit to the firewall too.
    What trans and rearend? And did you kick the frame any in the rear. The wheel and tire fit is just right.
