Features Finding an Oasis in a Desert of Madness

@Ryan -

Nice captures of Ron's '32 5wd Coupe!

Didn't know Ron had a VW Notchback . . . as @3wLarry would say: "Cool Beans"

How did the R1T perform? . . . any "Range Anxiety"?

 

Yes, All 1932-34 Arizona plates are copper and highly sought after. I have one on my 34 5 window. As I was looking through pictures of Ron's coupe I just realized I gave him the vintage military grade aluminum door panel that I had left over from my coupe. Cool to see stuff you contributed to such a great build. It was quite the transformation.

 

Ron Olmstead is a good friend of me and my brother in Phoenix. I sold him my 40 coupe with a nailhead several years ago.

 

I'm curious about the axle, is it a chromed axle or a aluminum Superbell? HRP

 

Not only is Ron's 32 a great hot rod, but Ron is a great guy. He helped me with my 32.

 

A $71k+ electric pickup?!

 

@Ryan Wait til you marry her off. I just gave mine away 2 weeks ago. Ripped the soul right out of my chest.

 

Thanks for the ride Ryan , my eldest girl is of to uni very soon, I know I will miss her big time but its great for her to get out and see the world and especially experience life outside of our little community.
"man ,fuck your truck" thats a signature line there

 

It was fantastic to have you here @Ryan to compare notes on many topics. As they say, birds of a feather, my friend. The desert can heal what gets us down if you let it happen.

@HOTRODPRIMER The spreader bars are model T axle for the rear, and the front is middle out of model A to follow the curve of the 32 heavy dropped axle that I am running.

All AZ license plates between 32 and 34 were solid copper with different paint. Copper plates came back in about 75 as the standard size for historic cars till about 90 when they went back to tin, and now all are screen printed.

Here is the build thread on the coupe.

Sometimes they come back home and they have a small one in tow, love them even more! HRP

 

Thank you. HRP

 

You are welcome @HOTRODPRIMER

 

Amen

A radio shrink once said, "We give our kids roots and wings. By far the hardest part is gving them their wings.

 

Nothing better than real film. Seems to give the photographs more depth and just a warm look. (not from the desert heat kinda warmth) Beautiful work Ryan as I know you know. Joe

 

I got to go through this with my son.......now I'm doing it again with my grand-boys. It's actually easier to see the boys off....must be getting used to it.
