    I was looking at this car this morning. the damage and missing parts are ok everthing can be worked out I saw that the car was from back east and am really conceredn about the rust pit the quality of the steel that is there. with a few parts and some skill it is worth saving YES but I have put worse ones back together. The main thing is to get it right, putting roadster quaters on a five window could work but these quaters can be saved and a five window deserves five window quaters.

    this is a small corner patch the same thing that this car will more than likely need, only larger.

    Just my two cents take what you want from it.

    These rumors are started by the same guys that swear you can put a fordor front door on a 5/W coupe. And believe me they've never actually done it... or seen anyone else do it...I have, and yes, it can be done possibly with good results but it will take a huge amount of time to make it right. I mean for that matter you can use a '32 Hupmobile 1/4 as long as you enjoy the challenge and don't care how different it is from original right?

    This will be a good answer when the next "What is a '32 5Window worth"? post comes up.
     
  10. Its worth saving. I paid 5 grand for this pile. A couple of my friends like to refer to mine as being a piece of tin foil that you rolled into a ball, and then tried to straighten again. But ****, I love it and I think it was worth every cent. Its my favorite car and I now own it! My car makes that thing look like show winner.

    A rusted out '32 is not a hunk of junk.

    I'd put time into that for sure. Looks severely savable.
     
  15. That is definitely worth saving. I sure hope someone gets it that can bring it back to its past glory.

    Save it by all means!!! Turn it into a oval track jalopy racer. You have everything to make this into a very special car. Please!!
    Good luck!

  21. It's certainly worth saving but will take either a fat wallet and a ton of skill, or a really, really fat wallet and no skills.

    So unless you really have a hardon for a '32, or want to make it an early stock car, I'd p***.

    What really ****s about that body is that both inner door structures have been completely cut out.
