Thread: One way to build a '32 sedan

Don-Thank you, I have to tell you this thing is really growing on me. I haven't ever had a street rod with so much room I''m normally cutting and chopping things for an extra inch, but there is still room for a back seat In this thing.

Dave- I made a flame cutter years ago, spent hours with a file making the patters perfect, 1/8" smaller than the finished piece because I had a 1/4" magnetic stylist. Does that ring a bell? Yes the shocks will be adjustable, I'm doing that now. Sorry no dirt for my baby

John- Thanks, How are you doing on yours?

Hot Rides-Thank you.

Steve-I have done that also!!!!!


Brad- I thought about that also, I have 3/4" on the centers of the holes, so I have a 3/8" spacer I can use to move the spring to line everything up in between.

Ken

Thanks for asking Ken.

I'm taking it back to work in the morning to lift the body off hopefully for the last time before final paint. It seems like it's been months of weekends doing "filling...priming...blocking...filling...priming...and blocking again". But it's now all straight, smooth, and all the body and hood gaps are tight. The frame and chassis parts will be dropped off very soon with Mikey at Ikon, for some RAL3004 Maroon Red powdercoat. I'm still not sure yet how to get it all sprayed, but I still have some time to decide. I built a 2" reciever hitch for it also. My son has a small teardrop camp trailer that I want to tow to Bonneville when the roadster gets back on the road.

Every time I'm at Ikon dropping off or picking up motorcycle parts I see lots of folding trailer chassis so business must be still OK for some people! By the way, you have a nice write up on your car trailer in Sept. Street Rodder.

As many others have already said, your "multiple builds" help keep us "slow pokes" moving forward on our builds. You put us to shame with the speed and quality of your efforts.

Oh heck, it'll wash off!!!! I've even got an old pair of Firestone diamonds, they'd look great on the rear slidin' sideways out of turn 3 on Hall of Fame night at Jackson!!!!!

Time for an update? This is a really neat build.
