Hot Rods Chip Foose buys an original 32 Ford Tudor

Chip scores a great original 32 Tudor and just intends to wash it,get it running and roadworthy.

 

Cool story.

 

Saw that. I must be going soft in my old age because I agree with his plans to just clean it up. They’re only original once.

Does anyone have an application for the AACA?

 

Nice car, thanks for putting the video up.
bttt……

 

He should be on a restorers forum, not a hoodlums forum.

 

The car is worth more just cleaned up and maintained than 'rodded. An awesome find.

 

Nice find

 

I give him 6 months and he’ll have a freaky paint job on it and 30” wheels with rubber band tires.

 

Ya know he’ll fall asleep at night, dreaming of a lowered car, big wheels wrapped in rubber bands.
Good on him.
I never knew of him until the OH show came out.
Talented guy for sure. On paper and the cars.

 

I hope he doesn't pinch, tuck stretch, shrink, and so on.

 

Don't believe I would even clean it up!

 

I hope Chip does clean it up and drives it, reminds me of my old Deuce when I bought it. HRP

 

Very Entertaining And Pete Is A Story Himself....Appreciated.....

 

Great story! I have a '32 2-door sedan on the HAMB classifieds, good candidate to hot rod.
Famoso Swap-O-Rama this Saturday!
Famoso Dragstrip

 

Only a matter of time until he can't stop himself from Foosifying it!

 

I don't hate his 5 window.

 

Leave the car alone, chip could use a haircut.

 

I don’t think so, he already has a barn find 32(?) Ford woody and a stock 53-56 Ford F-100.

I remember about 20 years ago seeing him on a day one preview Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale looking at a clean 3,000 mile Ford Pinto, Yes a Pinto!


Everyone was asking him “What would you do with it?”

They were all shocked when he replied “Drive it!”

Don’t forget he was one of the major people interview in the Shifters documentary.

Except for one difference I have the same story. The difference is mine is a 4 door. Be sure to visit fordbarn, https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4 and the Early Ford V8 site https://www.earlyfordv8.org/forum/viewtopics.cfm?Forum=19

HOPE TO SEE IT RUNNING AROUND ORANGE....

 

Another thought be sure to invest in a copy of the restoration guidelines for the 1932 Ford put out by the Early Ford V8 Club, https://shop.efv8.org/collections/ford-books/products/1932-ford-book-softbound-all-new This is not a hands on mechanics manual but instead a manual showing what is correct.
