    Hey dudes,
    I need some inspiration here. I have a very very very rough 32 5wnd that ive been working on for quite some time. Its been burned, layed in a swamp, and has been beaten to hell. Has anybody else saved any 32s that were considered "beyond repair"????
    Thanks!

    I have this 5 window that I haven't got to build yet. I don't know if I really want to after working on my Vicky. Do a search for that P.O.S.

    Do a search for some of Jim Sibley's stuff he has saved a few....

    Nothing is too far gone to rebuild.In most cases it doesnt justify the cost.

    I remember seeing someones 32 stacked up like cord wood in a trailer on here somewhere. I have seen many others that looked really bad on here come back to life.
     
  17. Thanks it's ok for how bad it was when I first started with it. I am not happy with how the quarters came out and will be redoing them sometime down the road. For now its solid and safe to drive so it will stay that way for awhile till the other car that I am working on now is on the road. If you have any question feel free to get ahold of me.

    Like this one? This is a pic That I took about 10 years ago of a solid but rough Tudor on the back of a 49 Ford Flatbed truck. This would almost be worth trying to save today.

    Thats NICE compared to my 5wnd. Mines a little worse than rons. I dont have any subrails or anything. Metal is about the same quality though. thin.
