Thread: One way to build a '32 sedan

Tweet

Looks like something Henry should have done in 32. Glad to see you are still hitting on this one..........I love the style of it.

Ken that ought to really add a ton of structural support to the whole cab! Ashame the supports will be hidden by the interior! Hunting season is pretty much over for me, so hopefully I'll be more motivated to get back to work on the truck! I keep running different ideas about my own interior through my head, which is why I'm taking a break before doing anything permanent!(that and the fact I hate body work and sanding!)

Ken, do you have DVD's available of your builds? I've watched the three builds on Club Hot Rod and would imagine you have many pictures, details and drawings of your creations. Any thoughts on making this info available?
Thanks!!

Don - Thanks, I really like also. It's one of those projects I have always wanted. I think I looked at a million photo's before I started.

Steve - It has really stiffened the whole roof up. So now when I start beating on it with the new roof it should go any where. So did you get Bambi?

Ronbo - I do have a lot of drawings and photo's. The photo's are taken with a camera that uses floppy disc's. Very low resolution, so I don't have to resize them when I post. The only place they are available is on this site. I have been on other sites and posted some of my truck but I don't do that any more This is the only place I post them.


Well it's time to do the dreaded roof sheet metal. I'm doing it in two pieces, just to make it easier to handle, and if I screw up I only have to make half the roof over
First was a template out of construction paper, then cutting it out of sheet metal. I think I will only have to wheel the corners. It looks like the metal bows are going to pay off. They hold the shape really nice.

Heck Ken, we will make you a bodyman yet,what if genuine Visegrip brand clamps, a flipper (now that might have you thinking) and unknown brand of panel hammer on the cowl panel, (snapon would do) you are ready to go.
I would of thought it would of been easier to make the roof panel in one piece to safe the join in the middle? But I like what you have done sofar so I will just have to wait and watch and also learn from a master craftsman.

Ken Bambi is still running free!
Looking good on the roof progress. You need to do your pounding when some one gets yah mad! I was hammering out the bed bolt welds for about a hour on thursday. When I was done it felt like a work out. My arms just sort of hung all day!

Hey Whip i watched flipper as a kid now what about a slapper

DAVE - Thanks, yep, you have always guessed the material thickness on my stuff, How do you do that?

Whiplash23T - My English wheel is to small to roll it in one piece. I will step the second piece then weld them together.

Steve - Thanks, and Bambi thanks you too!!!!
