    About a year ago someone posted this picture on the HAMB and I saved it. The car was shown in someone's shop that a HAMBer had visited. I'd like to see any other pictures of the car's ch***is, especially the rear end and four-link.

    I'd also to know whose car this is and how to contact them. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    I really don't think it's in Michigan or some of us would know about it.

    Sorry I can't help, but wanted to point out that the car pictured is a 5-w, not a 3-w.

    What was I thinking? Obviously it's a five-window tail pan.

    When it first showed up on here, I should have saved the other couple of pictures of this car that were posted along with this one, and made a note of the owner's name. Maybe someone will be able to identify it. Thanks again.

    It was Deuce Roadster who posted them... [​IMG]


    The owner owns a Hemi engine or pieces business. Hot Heads I think.. [​IMG]


    The 32 is in Belton SC at J. Ed Horton's race shop. He builds rail dragster ch***is mainly, but can do most anything. He is having a little Bar-B-Que in two weeks. I love Bar-B-Que....... He has it done by a professional .

    Randy, thanks a lot! I appreciate it. And thanks to those who tried to help.

    A couple of years ago I sold the owner of this coupe a Reprosteel '32 deck lid for a project he was building.

    It's fairly uncommon to see a race car ch***is builder doing a ch***is for an early Ford hot rod. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to see more pictures of this coupe, and pictures of similar cars. Here's Boyce Asquith's roadster, another kick-***, street-legal hot rod:

    I believe the 32 is about finished.

    The owner is the guy in the first photo if my memory serves me correctly. J Ed is having his party May the 8th. I plan to be there. I will take some more photos if it is still there. I know the owner came and got it to take it to some drag race function (as a display at his vendor booth). It was unfinished and was supposed to come back.

    The owner told me that he wanted the deck lid un***embled so he could louver it and then mate the inner and outer panels. He was going to put fans and the radiator in the trunk so he could run the car without a grille, so he could better showcase his aluminum early Hemi engine products. I wonder if this is the same car. When you talk to him next, ask him if he was happy with the deck lid. And don't mention that I paid the $60 that UPS billed me a month later for an "oversize" charge for it because I wanted to be good to him.

    I sure hope he puts some authentic, early race wheels on the car.

    The aluminum radiator is in the rear (with fan) and you can see the deck lid punched....inside and out.

    Nice shot of the rear end now that he has the coilovers mounted...I was wondering (after looking at the first pics of the rear end) how he was going to set up the springs.

    Thanks to both of you for posting the pictures. I appreciate it.

    That must be the Reprosteel trunk lid that I sold him. As you can see, they cut out the inner trunk panel for ventilation and just left its surround.

    Is there a grille shell on the car?

    I've never seen the engine. It's a blown 392 with aluminum heads and all the goodies, right?

    Were you told if he's going to race it hard?

    I'm surprised that the car has Sportsman Pros on the back. It would sure run a lot quicker with some wrinkle-wall Hoosiers.

    The car might look better without the back fenders.

    Thanks again!
