Hot Rods You know your a Deuce nut when

Your wife comes out to the shop for her once a year inspection and says:
"Your a 32 nut"---Ya think
This frame schematic has been on the wall for at least 10 years, she says she's never seen it,
then she says why would anybody want to put something like that on the wall.
That's when I said; if you have to ask, you wouldn't get it even if I tried explaining.
Can ya relate.

 

Used one to build the frame for my '32 pickup. I now have a '33-'34 version taped to it that I used for the cabrio. Yes I can relate.

 

She seems interested.
Educate her.

 

At age 67 I traded for a very decent 32 Ford cabriolet and told my wife this was the last "hot rod" because as far as I was concerned I had reached the peak of hot rods and felt nothing would replace my "cab" as the ultimate hot rod!

 

I'd like to have a large scale schematic of each of these, the 32 and the 33-34... Where and how would I go about acquiring such a thing?

 

IIRC Deucedaddydon in Bend Or. has them.

 

Countless deuces in my background, 3 in the basement garage, just sold a 4 dr, starting a new pu project and just bought a 5 window body that my goal is to drive by the time I"m 75. That gives me 5 years. My wife of 31 years just shakes here head as she's given up long ago. But she just hung all my deuce pictures and my mint original shell in my new office.

 

I'm a fortunate guy,my wife loves hot rods ,especially the Deuce. HRP

 

I never wanted one but mine fell in my lap on my 40th birthday. It has grown on me for sure.I hope to soon be able to enjoy the whole deuce thing by actually driving it(the body is in the paint booth as we speak).

 

Sounds like a keeper Gary
We have been married nearly 35 years and I just don't get it, I asked my wife if I could hang this on the bedroom wall over the headboard, she said "the day you do that; you better start look'n for a good divorce attorney"---CRIPES

 

At least you know she won't want the car.

Has she been for a ride in your '32? Sure works for my wife.

 

Let me just say this!!!!

 

When you're building your 3rd and still looking at deuce adds everyday

 

Ya know yer an addict, when ya can't remember how many you've owned ! That's me

 

I heard that,I've had 7 and always thinking about another..can you say obsessed? HRP

 

I don't recall who, one of the Idaho guys maybe, but a while back he said he found a pair of 25 louver Deuce hood sides that he didn't remember having .
I find that a little nutty.

 

I like the wheels but I'd drop the front down an inch or two. You going with a steering wheel or rope?

 

I currently have 8...two 3w's, three 5w's, 2 roadsters, and a Tudor sedan.
Do I have a problem?
Help....
Sam

 

Yes Sam, you do have a problem but why would anyone want a cure? HRP

 

I see no problem

 

You know your a Deuce nut when you build one from scratch using a VW bug as a doner !

 

I've had that same frame drawing from Don in the tube in the closet waiting for the day it gets a shop wall to put it on. There's a good chance that I'll frame it when I do. No 32 or 32 pieces yet but that could change.

 

You are a Deuce Nut when you have to do everything 32 times

 

I wonder how many of you guys counted?

 

deuces are highly over rated...I'm currently searching for a 1950's Kaiser 4 door

 

This coming from the man that built one of the coolest 3 windows ever! HRP

 

Ho Le Kow Warry!!!!

 

I don't have a problem........

 

I only have 6 and "need" one more as a week has 7 days. Oh just a min. never mind a month has.. Well that changed now have 8. Can't have too many.
