Time to step up Deuce owners..........
...........still a couple days left to get in on the action.
One of the most treasured options for a deuce is the Pines winterfront. This probably won't surprise many actual deuce owners, but others of you might marvel at just how desireable some folks think these are. Something to keep in mind, this one is incomplete.............

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

The difference is easily seen when comparing the two ...
The Pines Winter front is much more rare ... and was designed to close up the radiator and help keep the engine HOT and not freezing up ...
a way different purpose than the 25 vent hood.
The most I have seen a 25 vent hood bring was 6 grand on eBay a few months back ... where I have turned down considerably more than that for a Pines Winter Front ...

Actually, if you do not play " FOLLOW THE LEADER " with the 32 stuff ... 32 Fords are less expensive to build than a lot of the more ' unusual ' out of the mainstream cars. Originally Posted by Itoldyouso

I could sell my 32 roadster for way more money than I have spent on it ... but I was careful buying parts, done the majority of the work myself and only hired out the absolute things I could not do at that level. I also bought 1932 25 vent Ford hoods for $300. Nice ones ... but it was 20 years ago ... The one on my 32 roadster cost me $250.
I do admit to being " upside down " money wise on my 32 Ford 3W project ... but it is my last build ... I have made no compromises and bought the stuff I thought was the best of the BEST. Because I have not waited and hunted the KILLER deal ... on parts and pieces ... I have been making progress on this coupe a lot faster than any of my previous projects.
I have also hired more help on this coupe ... than other other project
It is now B L A C K ... all over and I am installing the new glass ... the only major step left is upholstery. I ordered a few leather samples today ...Going 33 and 1/3 rpms in a IPOD world

Hey Deuce, do you have any pictures of your 3W painted. I've been watching the progress for a while and would like to see it. Very nice.
As for the grill, I'll be remaining a poser if that's what it takes to play. My whole body cost less than that. Someday I'd like to get my hands on a real 3window.I may not be good but I sure am slow

No real good ones yet. Originally Posted by Gastrick

The wheels are now RED and the new tires on, after the driver's side door glass goes in, then I will wire the coupe, charge up the A/C and take the coupe to the upholstery man
Thanks for asking ...Going 33 and 1/3 rpms in a IPOD world

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
