Sunday Red: A 1932 Roadster Build Log Started in 2022
I am starting this blog at the beginning of a journey to build a 1932 Ford Roadster. The car will be known as Sunday Red and I have included the starting year in my log title so that I remind myself that time is passing and I don't want this project to drag on forever.
I have set goals/ideas for myself and this build:- While I want something that I will feel comfortable driving and will have some "pep", I am not really into performance. I live in Las Vegas so my main goal is just to have something fun to cruise The Strip. So, I'm going after "a lover, not a fighter"
- I will finance the entire build myself and not pay any interest along the way. So many cards now offer 0% financing that I will buy everything in that manner. Between my Summit, Amazon and Home Depot cards, I should be able to do this for the entire project. If anything should happen to me, I have the back up funds to pay off anything I buy.
- I don't want this to drag on forever. I work from home and live alone. So with some diligent work each evening I hope that I can make significant, consistent progress on this project
The shipper sent me some pictures of the engine. I would be happy to post them if only I knew how. Anyone know how pictures can be added to the posts? Do I need an image hosting service. Any free ones out there?
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
