    Yeah I know, it's another '32 but....it's still cool.

    It's an uncut gennie frame, radiator grille, hood, firewall, front axle, wishbone & spring. B-L-C 904A headlights.

    The body is Brookville, all vintage SW gauges, flathead rebuilt by Aaron's Machine in Roseville CA, rebuilt '39 tranny & banjo rear end with 3.78 gears.

    16 inch Ford steelies with Firestone Deluxe Champion 16 x 7.00 tires in back, 16 X 5.50 up front.

    It's like driving a new car that looks like a '32!!

    I guess I should point out that I started with this rusty hulk of a frame.

    Man, it took a lot of work to find all the pieces to put it together!

  15. You did a great job!
    My 32 has been on the road just over 2 years - just as much fun as the first time we headed it down the street!

    Might be a dumb question but, what did you do for a title? or did you have one already?
     
  18. Killer car man...you should be proud of the work you've put in.

    Well done!

    Here's some build pics, Neal East actually stopped by to check on my progress, that's him on the left in the blue & white jacket.

    Since it was a gennie frame, the factory VIN was still on it and it started with 18 which means this frame had a flathead in it from the factory, so I just went thru the Colorado DMV and the they checked the numbers and found they were clear so I was able to title it as a '32 Ford roadster after the Colorado CHP inspected it.

    I like the choice of 7.00 on the rear.

    What is the inside rearview mirror from ?

    The rearview mirror is from a '46 to '48 Ford coupe. I just took it off the bracket and drilled a hole thru the windshield frame and cut the head off a bolt and used an acorn nut to tighten it all together and make it look pretty.

    Great car and cool to see Mr. East swinging by to check it out.

    Enjoy the heck out of it....roadster weather isn't that far off.
