My 32 ford

thanks, i have had the car for about 2 yrs now, waiting to get the title the guy lost, but finally got a replacement. for what I paid, it was worth the risk.

plan to get it painted this year, as its pretty rust free, the paint is all peeling on it. it is set up for a ford 427 (as in the pics from 70), but it was a hemi hot rod, so I kinda want to do a hemi in it. I would like to put a 68 hemi in it I found.

he boxed the frame (which awesomely done, and switched out the 57 chevy rear end to a ford rear end.

I would love to find out what happened to the (leapin lena) race car in these pics, as to find more history clues on the 32 in texas (houston area)

Slots look great! Hemi-powered should get her down the road pretty good (sideways anyway

)

I love deuce 5 windows...Now's the perfect time to whack a few inches off the lid.

There's no way I'd chop that beautiful 78(wow) year old sheetmetal after it's avoided the hacksaw this far into its' life. I've seen some very nice un-chopped '32's and they actually look fine.

well I figured I would add my 32 ford to the 34 and the 37. All I wanted was to learn what kwhizz's shade of blue is to go on this car. Quote "Bob"

thanks ken. that car looks great. that is the money shot. not too much metallic, not too dark, not too light. some of the blues I have seen are too 'dodge viper blue-ish' for me. That shade is just right!

Mark,
It's easy to restore a car. It's like making a daughter, the pattern is right in front of you. It's takes a man to cut one up & make it look better. JMO!!
