Getting an itch

Kinda new to this site, signed up a long time ago but never hung around much until recently. SR.C was my regular hang out until they changed everything and all the regulars left. I miss the way it used to be.
Anyway, I've been into cars all of my life and have owned a lot of very cool rods through the years. As I get older, I'm starting to wonder how many "Hot Rod" summers I've got left? It's scary to think about now that I'm 69 years old. I've always wanted a 32 roadster and I hate to go through my life without ever owning one at least once. All my friends that have one say owning a 32 roadster really put the fun back into hot rodding. So, today I decided to put my Nomad on the market and start the search for a 32. Exciting huh? The hunt for a new car is always the best part! I'm a fussy guy when it comes to my cars, so I know pretty much what to look for. I hope to find one with a traditional look but with a modern flare. I've always liked the look of the "Old Crow" that Don built a few years ago. Awesome car.
So, I'll drop by here occasionally and update my search....

Happy Deuce Hunting! Glad to see you here, others you know are lurking around. You have of course seen Don's new Old Crow. Perhaps you should talk to him about a similar car, bet it could happen.

hey brady ! about time you popped up . miss talking with you. i'm in the same boat. going to build a 61 falcon street gasser with my godson . stick around , many of the old farts are here. sr.com went to crap fast . it's all about willie selling cars .

Welcome look forward to seeing what you end up with!

Thank you all for the greetings! This site is gonna take a little getting used to... it's a little cluttered and busy but I'm sure I'll find my way around.

HEY SHINE!! Good to hear from you! I too have missed all the great exchanges we've had, you were always quick to offer help and I learned a lot from you. I hope to run into a few of the old SRC guys. I talked to Don a few months ago, he's always good for at least a 30 minute BS session.

Anyway, now that I've made the decision about a '32, I'm non-stop searching the web. A shop in Utah, Flat Out Speed Shop, builds a roadster that is right down my alley but is a little too pricey for me but has the look that I like.

you'll like it here. one huge advantage is there are some serious engine people here.
don roams around here at times. i think i joined here about the same time as sr.com.

Good luck on your hunt to get a 32. One is on my list for some day too. I love the looks of them.

i'd have to buy 2. one for each foot .:(

Welcome back, it's good to see you here.
I'll have to ask, SR.com??? was that streetrodders?

In any event, it's good to see you and I hope you can share some pics of the car that trips your trigger once you get it!

34_40...Streetrodding.com used to be a great place for rodders to share ideas, help each other with our projects, and to have a little fun at the same time. The site was sold and at least for me, it hasn't been the same since. Anyway, I'm glad I decided to test the water here and I look forward to a little friendly "car talk" again.

Hey Brady,
I can help ya scratch that itch
I'm right here buddy.As Ray (Scooting) said Just finished a clone to the OLD Crow.
I'd be up for build ya 1 b4 ya pull the trigger with Clint (Flat Out Speed) Give me a call if interested and we can BS anyway

Hey Don....nice to hear from ya. I'm glad I posted here, got to say hi to Shine, now you. I kinda miss the old forum days when I would check in several times a day. There was always some good BSing going on.
I've always liked the Old Crow. It had a special look to it that others just didn't capture. Aren't these pics of the original car or is this the clone?

Here it is with steelies Brady

This is the clone Brady,\
Only thing different is the Logo says OLD Crow II and on the dash is Mary Ann's date of birth and date of passing and in very small lettering inside the pinstripe "4 My Kookie"
Here's a pic of the OG car , think that was the last time you and I actually hooked up. It sold @ Russo and Steel the following year.

hell brady , don breeds them out back . :)

I was actually a member there briefly.. I found myself spending more time here than there and stopped going there altogether. "Here" we just like cars.... trucks... planes... boats... pretty much if it has a motor we like discussing it. :LOL:

And while we can become... "arbitrary" at times..:rolleyes::rolleyes: it usually doesn't last long and we get back to helping others and enjoying ourselves. :)

Hope you enjoy your time here and look forward to seeing you around.

You're probably right Shine, he's done a bunch of them. Seems to me, this one is personal...he should keep it forever.
Don, it sure is the twin to the OC, nice job. The only thing I see different is the hood hold-down straps are black instead of brown and no blue light up front...whats with that??...the front light is like your signature. Did the orig one also have gray interior, I can't remember. I like the orig wheels over the steelies but that look is more popular these days. Thx for sending the pics.

yeah brady. this old crow is special. don never rides alone in it . he has an angle riding shotgun.

You got that right Shine, best co-pilot I could ever have. She was an angel here on earth and now my "Special Angel in Heaven"

Brady, I am sure what hits your buttons on the Old Crow is the stance, the top, and the craftsmanship.
Have Don build you one with the same look but with your touches, paint, interior, stripping, motor.
Nothing like having a pro build a car special for ya. Wish I was in that situation.

Yep, gotta agree with all the above, Don is the Man and Master at building damn fine automobiles of the 1932 Vintage and I only have seen his generous build threads on here with detailed photo's to go by. But if I had the funds Don would be the first man I would be calling either to source or build me a car up there.

Scooting - you nailed it. Most 32's don't have that raked stance, the slant back and curved windshield, along with the slanted canvas top. Those 3 things gives those cars a look that really makes them stand out in the huge crowd of 32 roadsters. Truthfully, I probably wouldn't even buy a regular cookie cutter 32 roadster.

?? never got it Don.

Thanx for the Kudos and votes of confidence (sp) Ray/ Scooting and Mark / Whiplash
After doin almost 50 of em it doesn't take long to build 1 not to looki "Cookie Cutter"
Another that I really liked was the all black 1 that I drove to LARS 3 years ago. Don't think I've ever seen anutter close to it also. The Tan 1 was kinda kool also

You guys are starting to sound like a couple of hungry used car vultures sitting on a fence.
Hasn't been a week since I decided to trade in the old Nomad and you guys already have primer on the body. :)

That's about how long it takes me Brady 1 week after mock up it's usually ready to blow apart and paint (1 week).
And what would you know about used car vultures ? Tee Hee

Heck, we are waiting for you to decide what colour Don will paint it so Tim can order the cows to be dyed the right colour while still on the hoof.
That red one above really lights my fire, stance, wheel / tyre choice , everything perfect.
