Projects 32 Vicky ~ The rise from the ashes

lookin good!

 

Yeah, like Gary said,
we need pics !!!

 

Amazing save, the stars were aligned right for this one to make a comeback. Anxiously awaiting the final unveiling. I think I would have had to go black with it turning out so nice...............can't get the visions of Wayne Henderson's out of my mid from so long ago. The main thing is it will live to fight another day and prove once again................'32's have staying power.

Beautiful. SO cool to see this one come back from the dead! Can't wait to see it in paint...

 

Wow its amazing what we will do to bring 32's back from the dead! Thanks again the parts u sold me were a life saver.

 

Well, it's about time. But perfection does take time, I just got back from the painters. He performed magic on the body and fenders. I am sure glad I found Terry, he is very picky about his work and was a real joy to work with, although he did all of the work, I just watched. I should be able to pick it up in a few days, He will cut and buff it, hardly looks like it needs it. Enjoy the pictures.

 

thats poppin,beautiful.hell of a save

 

Looks nice Jonh, I dont think they will have trouble seeing you in front them!!!!!!!

 

NICE! I like the front fender painting setup. What are the plans for wheels & tires?

 

flames on one side is traditional for this car

 

Sweet! You should get your a fire extinguisher for the car painted in that papaya paint.

 

It's been 3 days you don't have this done yet?

 

Well? Did you get it picked up today?

 

Well it's home now, the pace of work will pick up and so will the progress pictures. The color really pops in the sun. Still waiting on a few parts to get painted and have to make the hood sides and get them louverd before I can get the last parts painted. That will be top priorty.

 

I'm loving that color!

 

Making some more progress, have smooth hood sides made, they are off to the painter, have rhino lined the under side of the fenders and have them bolted on for the last time, I hope. Still have to tweak the running boards to get the to fit like I want. Gl*** patterns made, gages sent off for repair. Bought leather for interior, a light tan, looks good with the papaya. Cleaned all of the burnt rubber off the wheels, think I might run them.

 

rise from the ashes..enough said

 

Well it's been too long, finally got most of the small parts back from the painter. I will pick up the hood tomorrow. I know there is a lot of little stuff left to do, wiring,gl***,paint the dash and moldings,re-install the gages, strip the burnt upholstery off the door panels and quarters, seems like it will never end. Hope to get it to the upholsterer some time in July.

 

Hard to believe it's the same car. Nice work.

 

beautiful job

 

Been watching this thread, remembering the scary video and thinking this car was dead....can't believe the quality of work you have done in saving it!!!!!

 

As others have said,the work you have done is nothing short of amazing,but please pull that insert out and paint the air conditioner condenser black.

It stands out like a sore thumb. HRP

 

Your right, I looked at it and had a brain fart.

 

You're a braver man than I am, heat warps everything, I'm amazed you were able to straighten the p***enger side panels.

 

X 2 - The way that condensor is showing you might as well have a window unit hangin out the window.... Get this guy some flat black spray paint STAT! lol

 

Beautiful Vicky you have done some amazing work!

 

Hats off to you for bringing this one back. Truly admirable work and dedication.

 

Amazing transformation from what we saw a few months ago. I'm not a big fan of yellow but it has given the car a whole new personality to go along with it's resurrection rather than going back with the same color.

 

OK. is this better? Actually I kind of like the idea of a window unit, or maybe a swamp cooler on the roof.

 

Yellow?

Nice job, I am envious/jealous of the speed at which your projects progress. Makes mine look like they're right on the event horizon of a black hole, and going backwards in time......
