    So this cool little 32 coupe built in the 60's and came out of the dark and into the light to show its Flaked Blue paint. It's got some cool old mods like the custom taillights warp around and sunk in,some kind of a cutout in the cowl area? What were or did they do or think:confused::D and a bunch more. Its chopped 3.5 inches and channeled 5" shave handles all around with choke cables working the openings.
    The coupe needs some love but needs to be back on the road and in it's glory. I wish I had some pics or more info on it. I was told it was on the show circuit in the 60's or so.
    thanks

    super neat, though.

    Congrats John!
    What a GREAT year for "barn finds" on the HAMB.
    Timing is such that I do believe we will be seeing much more of this as the older generation that built these cars in the 50's and 60's p***es away.

  23. That cowl looks like a place to stuff angel hair.

    I'll bet the taillights were from a production car, but for the life of me I can't place them!

    Thanks Chris

    I have no idea what they did but it does have screw holes every 3" under the tube it was formed from. I'm thinking mesh that matched the grill insert.

    Thanks Larry how the Deuce going:D

    I hope he does ,I really didn't get a chance to talk . We both had to be places and didn't want to push it. I'm crossing my fingers for some to put her back as she was.
