Im back on the 32. I got a little side tracked with my 34, and then my 60s dune buggy. This is going to be my daily driver, so its got radials, and a modern steering box, but I am trying to keep it as true to the mid sixties as I can. The goal is to drive it by april, then its back to the 34.
You take what most of us would consider junk and turn it into some killer rides . f I give you my left sock , a dirty fork and some rust could you build me that 41 Willy’s gasser I’m pinning over ?
Brought a chuckle to me, a few years back here there was a thread running on “who’s sig line do you like best” or similar. I went with Jim’s.
Yea, I really like my 5 window, but with flat top pistons ,4.11 gears and drum brakes it is not much of a driver. This will be its mate, but with dished pistons, 3.55 gears and some airhart discs it should be a little more user friendly.
My friend kenny helped Me out with re-doing the seat in red leather. I guess this car is going to be red. Also got the outside door handles and v-gate shifter working. Im really thinking this is going to be a fun daily driver.
Hey Jim if you could when you get a chance measure your seat as I believe I have one exactly like it and didn't know what it was for except early Ford. If you can measure across the front cushion and the top of the rear cushion I'd be appreciative of that thank you
The seat is 41 inches wide at its widest point. 25 tall and the bottem Cushion is 20 deep to the back of the seat.
Almost ready for a test hop. I got the seat nailed down, built a dash insert , and a glove box door.All I have left is wiring.
I got a little time to work on the body tis weekend.it is shaping up nicely.there is still a lot of work to do, but I am happy with where it is going.
I am, I am waiting on parts for the motor, so its back on this until they show up. I am actually trying to finish up 4 cars all at once. My 32,34, v8 healey and the gasser. With parts taking so long to get, I just bounce around from 1 to the next.
I am still on it. Trying not to get sidetracked. I just keep going around it, cleaning up the welds, bumping out the dents. It is starting to really take shape.
The build thread was killed by the moderators. It has c4 corvette suspension, ot hamb friendly enough.
Took the 32 for its”pre-paint shake down run.” It gets it pretty hard, Im happy with the car. Now its time To tear it down and do the body and paint. One last before and after, raw metal pic.
