    Found this car in Arkansas. Older build with some street rod items I will remove. 350/350 with 9" Ford rearend. The fellow who built it now has dementia so couldn't get any information. Has an original re-upholstered seat which I will change to get more room. Needs the window regulators refurbished as well as new window channels and new interior. Needs quarter and rear window garnish and the windshield frame. Looks like a 3" chop. Could someone give me an original vertical measurement on the window or door at the B pillar so I can check it? Probably rewire also since it is
    pretty messy. I'm an old guy so good fun wintertime project.

    She's a beauty. Nice to have something that isn't a full-on project.

    Sorry to hear about the condition of the builder but that’s a neat ride.

    It certainly is. I'm too old for a full blown project, although I still fantasize that I can!

    Very nice low dollar improvement project. I****ume when you do the window regulators you will bin or recover the lame aluminium door cards. Some folk get confused with window regulators and door handles etc billet is not cool. But I am sure you are on the right track.

    Door height is 43 7/8” and the window opening measures 13” at the straight edges, just past the upper and lower radii. Nice car, you’re off to a great start.

    I like your 32 Rick. This one has had the rain gutters and cowl vent removed and the top closed. Glued the windshield in so going to put it back in a frame and swing open. Lots of little things like hand bent brake lines, etc. that I'll change. I see you recently moved back to California. Enjoy!
