Thread: One way to build a '32 sedan

Tweet

I am mounting the grill shell and the head lights. I'm using the King Bee style.The other thing I always try and do is make every bracket have at least two jobs. The upper mounts will hold the grill shell and the hood mechanism that goes from the cowl to the grill shell. The next bracket down will hold the grill shell and the headlights.

Very nice stance Ken! It looks natural, which we all know takes a ton of work. Keep em coming!

The sedan is beginning to take on a "personality". It's showin its stuff. Looks very nice! I noticed the lower door patch panel. I have to do the same thing on mine and will have to use the full patch. They are Brookville and I hope the fit will be good. I'm dreading that job. Take care.

Ken,

Been following this off and on. Love that Ardun, can't wait to see the finished product. A friend of mine here in Issaquah runs a Ardun in a Henry's steel 34 3 window.

Looks awesome Ken,you will have to throw it in a box and send it down for next years Waihi Dust up...

That's all pretty cool, but why is the engine wearing falsies??

Sweet stance Ken, looks like it will corner good already! Those are Ardun heads right, those must be hard to find huh?

stovens- Steve I'm actually getting close to stopping on it and start the truck.

deuce4papa- Thank you, actually I think it's easier to replace it at the belt line, less distortion. Good luck I hate this part too!

Jack F- This is just a plastic mock up motor, The real one will be a surprise.

lamin8r- I wish it would of worked out when I was there, we are coming back so I'm going to time it to visit you.

Bob Parmenter- I was just trying to impress you

brickman-There easy they are made by Pyar plastics

Ken, the sedan is moving along very nicely, it's a shame you're going to put it on the back burner for a while but looking forward to seeing what you have planned for the truck.

BTW, it was nice to talk to you again this morning, Elliot did a great job helping me too.

Mike

One word to describe your Tudor Ken...........Bitchin'. What a great look.

Don

Since joining this site I have been amazed at the talent and workmanship of the fellow members. Ken's rides have been amazing.....makes me wish I had half his talent.
Ken with that large sunroof your going to get the top of your head burned.....lol
The sedan looks great.

Please do,Ken.Give us a PM or e mail and let us know when you are coming..

It was nice talking to you also, I hope everything got handled.


Itoldyouso- Don, thanks a lot, it means a lot coming from you.

BradC-It's funny you said that. I have been kicking around the idea of putting a sliding cloth roof in it instead of filling it with steel. I saw a guy that used a top out of a VW bus, and it worked really well, when it was closed it looked like a stock style insert.

lamin8r- I sure will.

Work on the car has been slow. I made a list of everything I haven't finished that I started, and it was a lot bigger than what I thought.
I made a bolt yesterday that I couldn't buy so I thought I would show it in case someone else ever gets in this position. It hooks the sway bar links to the top of the ladder bar. The rod end is 3/8" and the top bolt on the ladder bar is a 7/16". So I took 4 SS bolts and drilled a hole in the center of two of them, then turned down the o d of the other two and slid one into the other and welded then together and put a couple of flats on the center so I could hold it to tighten the nuts.
Ken

more, installed

What I love about your builds are all the little one-off pieces that you make. Where I'd run a long bolt through that piece you fabricate a part that is something that looks like a factory made it. Very clean part Ken.
