Hello -
I have a 32 deuce, manufactured by Downs. The car is complete, and I recently purchased it. My rear truck rubs on one side. How do you align the trunk lid, - - - to the opening? The hinges look like there fixed. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
Not sure about Downs, but on my N&N the holes in the hinge pads on the trunk lid are oversized, and there are captured nuts in the lid. You loosen the four (for me) bolts holding the two hinges to the trunk lid, and you can shift the lid front to back, side to side.Quote:

Thanks
Mike,
Hey, I went out and looked at my trunk hinges and it was not exactly as I remembered :o My hinge pads are slotted to allow adjustment, and the nuts are fixed in the trunk. Could be a washer on the bolt may cover the slots so it is not readily evident that they shift. If not it would be pretty easy to slot the hinge pads, too. You can see in the picture that I drilled a pair of 1/16" alignment holes before I took mine off the first time, to facilitate getting it back in the right place easier.
Thanks for the picture. You gave me an idea, and will probably copy your
design.
Thanks
How about a photo of the car? We love photos!
How do you post a photo? I'd love to show off my 32, but don't know how
to post.
Scroll down and click on "Go Advanced." On that page, choose "Manage Attachments." Then click on "Add Files" and then upload a photo from either a website or your computer.
Ok Guys, I finally figured how to send some pictures of my downs 32 ford.

Here are a few more pictures of the rod I bought at Hot August Nights in Reno, in August.
Nice Deuce, Now some pics. of interior.
Yes, - the interior. The interior was done by a guy in Oregon. Its black leather and snake (python)
Wow, very nice!
Very nice! :toocool: How do you like the position of the B&M Quicksilver shifter? I have the same one from my Fairlane, that will be going into my 32 project.
Yes, I like the position of the B&M Quicksilver shifter in the center. I had to have the linkage professionally adjusted, and now its really SWEET ! My next project, before Xmas, is to swap out the 750cfm Summit carb (less than a 1000 miles on it), because its too much carb for my small block. I'm going, with what
90% of the guys recommend - - - - a 600-625CFM Edelbrock. I hope Santa remembers my address !
