Projects Martin Ford '32 Roadster build.

Here comes the build thread about my ´32 roadster project.

A while back as some of you already know I had a thread about my coupe which was done in the spring of 2014. - http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/martin-ford´32-5-window-build.621405/

Bare with me but this project is not a true traditional build with every single part made before 1955 or so, somehow it will stay sort of in a traditional look and most important the plan is that it turns out the way I want it . Hopefully some of you finds it interesting and inspiring =)

The project is based on a 32 Brookeville body, a torsion bar set up chassis powered by a 409 chevy with a T-5 transmission . 37 front axle and a Halibrand V8 rear axle

Ive been working on the chassis for a while and its a slow but fun project , trying to fabricate as much as possible is time consuming.

Thread post´s will be from the beginning to today´s date and hopefully all the way to the day when its done.
There is lots of pictures on Instagram for you who can´t wait . search for "tmfcracing"
Cheers Martin







Before rear axle change.

Wow (As in a Steve McQueen in the great escape type wow)

 

That crossmember under the engine is Wow for sure, actually it's all very nice. You have a good eye for proportion and scale. I'll enjoy watching this as I did your other build.

 

409 power I like the sound of that

 

very good work

 

Hi Martin: Man this is looking good! We'll be watching for updates. Good to see this build. Tim

 

Subscribed if it's anything like the Coupe I don't want to miss it

 

That front suspension is really something.

 

Give us more Martin! Beautiful addicting eye candy that I can't get enough of!

 

Another great thread Martin, looking forward to it.

 

And we thought the 5 window was a great build !

This is absolutely amazing !!!

That's quite a tasty looking chassis, I used those stainless rod ends on my roadster also for hairpin attachment to batwings and ladder bar rear attachment points.
I like them a lot, mine came from Art Morrison. Is that where you sourced yours?
Your time and detail has been well directed.
I've always wanted to say this about a deserving project: Subscribed.

 

Very nice, looking great!

 

Cool.

Watching.

 

Very nice. True craftsmanship.

 

Your quality and workmanship never disappoints.

 

Please can you post a view of the chassis from the front?

 

I never knew there was an era perfect wow, but I know what you mean.

You just re-defined the word; auto - erotik, because that is down rigth porn for car guys!
