OOHHHHH AHHHHH OOOHHHHH AHHHHH.Very nice i guess thats what i get for going to a wedding i missed out on watch you try to man handle that body on to the frame...
heres the 1/4 panel bottums i cut off because of course i have new bottoms these thing wieghed at least 20 lbs a piece i***** you not!!!! lot of lead, i think im gonna melt it all out and re-use it.
heres tha last pic of the day, a neat rear 1/4 view, what you guys think? im thinking im gonna try and get it together for a car show up here thats in about 3 months! obviously it woulnt be painted or anything but maybe an in progess. its an indoor show so i could trailor (sorry) to the show if its not running yet, itd be fun. Ill keep youall up to date on the progess of the rusty thing, till next time.****US
oh forgot to ask, anybody have any pics of what the subrails are supose to look like around the gas tank area? i have an idea but not exactly sure, any photos would be of great help, im gonna call a friend whos got a 32 5window and go look at that one also but not till next weekend, also if anybody has the measurement of the gap between the gas tank and the bottom of the panel below the trunk lid would be great help. thanks****US
WOW!!! You aren't letting any grass grow under your feet are you? Great progress. I'm going to dig my '32 out of storage and bring it home sometime this next week but I'll probably be too late to help you with any measurements. Maybe I'll post when I get it here and if you still need some measurements I'll be more than glad to help out. As far as I know my body has never been off the origional frame so it should yield some good dementions. Also I have a set of subrails (Brookville) for a Roadster but they are the same as a 5w except for the door area . Maybe I can get a couple of shots and have Fuelpump post them for you. Frank
Wow****us, You always seem to be making progress, or showing new things, or just showing us cool stuff you have. Your 32 will be awesome im sure. Good Job. Nick
was working on it tonight and rememberd i had some duece wheel wells so i went and got them down from the rafters and they had the rear kick-up area subrail ends still attatched so i know what they should look like now, but if any body still has the measurement between the gas tank and lower rear panel would be helpfull. THanks****us
Titus nice coupe, hey I dont know if you know this or not but a pontiac fiero electric fan & shroud fits perfect on 32 radiator, and 84 or 87 Ford tempo hood hinges work good as trunk hinges.
Holly*****, that is some damn fine progress on that thing. I enjoy the play by play on the build. I did it with my last two cars on my web site. I was takn' pics every time I welded something up. Now I am building my 33 coupe and have only taken a handful of pics and the body is already sitting on the frame. I'm sure I will regret it later. Keep it up; maybe well see it at 50's........
re: the a pillar, i sliced it alot and welded it alot!!! I cut it in about 8 spots, you should see the door top!!!! I dont own a digital camera, just borrow my dads, so i snap as many pics as possible, i never got many pics of my 34 or my a 31 A ot my T and wish i had gotten more. I worked on it monday for about 5 hours after i got home from work but had no camera, mybe updates next weekend if i do anymore, i usually get work done in clumps!!
