Projects Enough monkeying around: let's build a 5w, or another 4dr bites the big one.

It would be really hard to wash that salt off......

 

Thanks so much guys, it was an AWESOME trip!! Had a blast running with the rolling bones boys and lending a hand on the 532 car. Will definitely be back next year, hopefully making the trip in an open car. Aside from some minor adjustments, the car ran GREAT. I did add a leaf to the rear spring pack and a pair of gas charged shocks, with two guys and all of our gear it was bottoming out pretty good on some of the bridges on I80. Also stopped to tighten up a hose clamp in IA...

 

Good meeting you man, car looked great! Glad she served you well!!!

 

Really good to meet you Andy. Wish I had taken some pics of our coupes in the pits!
Glad you had a good time.
See ya next year!
Rick.

 

Your five window is sooo cool!

 

Next, Andy will take an International headlight bucket and turn it into a '27 T roadster body.. Before your eyes.. In 5 and a half months.

For any nay-sayers, please start at page one of this thread and go through it.

 

Naw man haven't you heard? He's buying our 32 3w and making it into a 4dr sedan next.

 

Dude, glad you made it back safe. Good seein ya in Perrysburg. Car is awesome.

The running joke for the last few weeks was that once I got back to NY I was gonna cut the coupe back apart and turn it back into a 4dr. Truth be told, the plan is to just tidy up a few loose ends with the interior metalwork, chop and fit the garnish moldings and fit side and rear glass, blow the QC apart and add a TT seal (as it does chuck oil up the TT as it sits), and get it ready to sell or trade for a kickass roadster project and fund my new shop...

Thanks again dudes, great to meet all the new faces and catch up with old pals along the way... mooch-ass-grassy-ass! See you in Detroit!

 

Great meeting you out at Bonneville Andy. Hopefully see you next year!

Andy

Looks like you had a good time. Glad you and the ride made it back safely.

My fav photo

 

No I heard he was buying your 3 window and turning it into a 36' Ford Westergard styled kustom.

 

It was great to meet you, Andrew! Good to see you made it home safe...

thunderbird.... I must be slipping. I did NOT realize this was your car, I walked all around your car at Denny Saum's in Nebraska and didnt realize it was yours. I was chattin with the guys saying "there is a cool 5w on the hamb made from a 4dr sedan". Glad to have gotten to see it in person. I was next to Denny when you were asking about a model a rear spring. Glad to see you had a great trip, and next year I will introduce my self. Here are some shots from Denny's BBQ.

 

Hi Andy, I'm a newbie here, just by chance the first thread that got my attention was yours! I read it from start to finish over about a week!

Man!! RESPECT!!!

There's always plenty of I'm gonnas out there, and I understand stuff gets in the way, you suffer setbacks that knock the wind from your sails etc, but you just kept on!
The results speak for themselves.
Thats one of the best proportioned most kickass 5w's I've seen, and all from what alot of guys would have scrapped!
It's great to see you out enjoying the fruits of your labour, and i wish you all the best with your new venture!
Keep up the inspiring work! There should be more guys like you out there!

Cheers, Scotty.

Andy good seeing you today, the car still looks killer with it's evil proportions and the story to Bonneville was cool too. Catch ya somewhere out on the road.

 

WOW Bonneville and back, congrats!

 

OMG, seen your car in the classifieds and you could have knocked me over with a feather! Surprised to see your selling it, good luck!!!

The man says he misses his roadster. I guess he's serious. Give a couple months to throw together another cool car. Thanksgiving to spring build time again?

 

Andy,
Just wanted to say it was a blast running away with you and the bones boys to the salt. Can't wait until next year to do it agin. What are your plans for the new roadster? Keep in touch. Denny

 

cant wait to see your next roadster.

 

Hah! thanks Mat!

Welp, ....I still own it so I guess I'll get it ready to go to the Race of Gentlemen in Jersey in a couple weeks.

I made a little diamond shaped pushbar for the back, and a small, similarly designed nerf bar for the front... something I've been wanting to do for a while now and have just been too busy driving it to get to... somehow I forgot to take pics, I'll put some up tomorrow.

Better get some glass in it so I don't freeze my bollocks off in case the weather turns. In addition to chopping up the garnish to fit these mail slots, I also blew apart the window regulators and replaced the broken drive gears and got them operating freely, etc...



These 4dr quarter window garnishes are different than the coupe ones, but I'm going to make them work and they'll match the door garnish too.

Take 4" out of the length, about 6" in height, and adjust the curve to match...






POOF!

 

The rear window is going to take some work... the bottom of the flange will need to be replaced and there's a slight kink in the center. I think I'll tackle that tomorrow.

 

Awesome! Ill see you on the jersey shore in a few weeks. Ill probably take the roadster as long as its not raining or snowing.

 

Damn dude, let's hope it's not snowing yet hahaha!!

 

I Think this may be the best photo ever posted on the HAMB

 

Real creativity on this build! Great work!

 

Awesome Andy! That car deserves every bit of extra attention you're giving it. So awesome and can't wait for ROG!

 

Still working on fixing the window frames in the body to fit the glass to...
