Hot Rods The '32 nobody wanted.

I sure will.

 

Thanks bob, I'll check those out for sure.

 

I have used drum retainers, maybe made by Mr. Roadster. They are kind of channel shaped, one side bolts where the wheel cylinder bolts, and it straddles the drum in case you have more excitement than you need.

 

Pete, why don't you change to a more traditional running gear, 350/350 9 inch?

 

ROBERT, GO TO YOUR ROOM!!!! BLASPHEMY!! TO THE DUNKING STOOL WITH HIM ( or better still, get him a room at the Aruba!!)

Fun weekend for sure, Mr. Pete; I almost didn't go being elderly and all, but hanging with you young Bucks was a blast!
Glad you didn't bust up your car too bad and can't wait to see it after the re-do.
WAH-SOO , TFL, and out

 

I got the wrong spiders..still on the hunt

 

My man flathead Tommy dug thru his parts trailer and hooked me up with some good '34 rear end parts. Hopefully in a week or so I can the car off the jackstands and driving again.

 

^^^^^ OK know I see how it all works and why 8" and 9" have split carriers today.

 

Yea, they're pretty good rear ends but once you weld the spiders you increase the chances of twisting an axle.

 

That goes pretty much for any stock rear end when one comes off either wet pavement or loose sand/dirt onto a hard surface like cement or asphalt. I was just letting you know that I don't need to see inside any further as I had asked a few replies back.

 

WTB: Looking for J.C. Whitney Aluminum Finned Safety Hubs for My 1933 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster With Kinmont Brakes. Any Help Very Much Appreciated. Best Regards Respectfully BigDTexasKid (903) 952-1933.

I think you'd get more exposure posting this in the Wanted section of the classifieds, instead of within Pete's build thread...

 

Maybe he has heard that Pete knows a guy that knows the guy that has all the kool parts stashed [emoji41]

Shhhhhhh.......can't let anybody know where the honey holes are.

 

A HUGE thank you to BIG DUECE for digging thru his collection of parts and hooking me up with the spider gears I needed.

Spent the morning putting the rear back together.

Pete

 

If it was me I would go ahead and find a spare set for next time

 

Talk about finding a needle in a haystack - you've got good karma for sure! Lol!

 

I love this car

 

Very nice!

 

I want it[emoji51]
Oh and you should, you created it from basically junk, well except for the roof insert[emoji6]

Looking good, Pete. U need to insert "--family is allowed to screw U, all others - -" to the rear pan!!

 

What's not to love? It's bitchin!

 

Such a great stance on both.

 

The two best places to be that day, either the driver or the camera guy...

 

Ha....it was a great view from where I was sitting.

 

There's a lot more I could add to that!

 

The 5W looks great. Congrats on saving a car that very few could( or would)be able to do. Nice job.

 

Now it feels wanted!!

Classic shot to hang in the garage! Reminds me of an old song, "Who loves short shorts?"
and with a '32 coupe to boot!
