Projects juniors 32 5w coupe build thread.

looking forward to more Richie!!!!

 

We have about 6 of these old cars going back together maybe we need a 5 window support group mine has made me laugh and all most cry ! we had to use a torch plasma and a cut off wheel to remove the 50s 60s and 70s from mine it was ugly. but shes on her way back love seeing progress keep posting. thanks Terry

 

Hi, my name's Jesse and I bit off WAY more than I can chew...

 

Great looking ride!

 

You got it going on Brother ,,, My neighbor has a 34 and were about to start a thread on it ... It was running with a 350 chevy engine ... Going back with a flat head 3 speed and a banjo ... Have you decided where youre going to mount youre master cylinder ?

 

thanks guys!

chris good seeing you the other day cant wait to see that 27 cowl actually being used! hahaha

as for the 5w... some parts finally came in soo some mopre build pictures to come... next thing to do on my list is shorten the torque tube and get the rearend in 100%.

 

got some work done today... shortened the torque tube 16" and shortened my 37 rear wishbones 6", rebend the angle of the wishbone in back and relocated wishbone mount on toque tube.









pretty happy with how it came out... heres a up to date picture of the whole car.

 

I really dig how this is turning out. You don't have the body on there yet and you're still ahead of me.

Motivational. For sure.

 

thanks man yeah i should have the rear crossmember in this weekend and then ill be getting the body into place i got the brookville rear floor this week just need to order some more patchs but it should be too bad.

rich

 

Who's doing the body work on her. I know a great shop. Called big daddy's house of bondo and expandable foam

 

them sure some purdy welds

 

Very cool build... and good progress --- keep it up!

soo got a pretty sweet birthday gift from my old man today! brookville rear floor for the duece!!! should be getting the body grafted to the cowl shortly!

 

Love the build!

 

little off subject from the 32 build but brought the 41 ford truck me and the old man built down to world of wheels boston this weekend... ended up getting the old skool rodz and car kulture deluxe award and best of class.

the plaque is fuckin awesome!



and back on the 32 the past couple weeks have been slightly off but getting back on it this week progress pictures to come.

 

Sweeeeet!

 

recieved some parts that i dont need for quite sometime from alchemy pierce arrow dash panel for the 32! 31 out of 32...

 

got the rear crossmember and the shocks all mounted today

 

ordered some firestone 600/650-17 rear tires from coker on tuesday... also have some vern tardel motor mounts coming once i get both of those things i can put the chassis to a full roller. im thinking a trip to dave simards for some parts this weekend may be necessary!

 

Good to hear! Oh, before I forget..

Your welds are tidy! Do you TIG or MIG?

 

I tig evrything we never had a mig at the shop til about two years ago. i just like how clean and strong aq tig weld is... Can't wait to get the body on! Just trying to not get ahead of myself.

 

subscribed, nice build!

 

Rear tires came in today! Be hopefully rolling mid next week definitely going to mock them up tomorrow.

600/650-17 firestones

 

Ana mazing build so far. Going to be badass!

 

Exciting! Waiting for the mock up pics!

 

yeah hopefully my cousin jp can mount the tires in the AM...i ended up ordering a flattened model a front crossmember from brookville for an extra inch lower so the mock up will be an inch tall in the front.

 

I'm loving all the choices you've made on parts!!! It's like you're picking my brain!!

 

thanks man! i was pissed i missed those crossmembers you had posted the other day i saw them at work went to pm you when i got home and you sold all of them! hahaha the classifieds are getting tough to buy stuff now...

now off to have my cousin jp to mount my rear tires and pickup a couple random parts at millworks hot rods(cball).

 

so today i got the wheels on almost a full roller except fot the motor mounts not being in the chassis yet. so i threw the shop roller spindles on and threw my hubs and wheels on it. sorry for the horrible cell phone pictures.

 

Excellent start to what I'm sure will be a winner. I'm jealous that you have Dave Simard to use as a source of parts and advice.............none better from what I've seen. His shop has turned out some awesome cars. keep the updates coming, one of these days I'm going to go crazy and start the rebuild of my 5w I've had for more years than I hate to admit.
