Tim, here is a pic of myself and the Speedstar taken at the Grand Run in Pigeon Forge last year. Wow I didnt know the 32 pic would be that large. I'm not all that proficient on a computer and dont know how to reduce them in size. Tim, ther are some more pics of my cars located here on CHR in 32fordcpe gallery, including a few of my steel car, if you are interested. Jack

re; 32 Doors
Report on the doors,
I called Pete at BeBops to ask him about the doors, He couldn't understand how it left the shop like that and offered to replace the doors or even come to Fla and pick up the body , return back to the shop and make it right and return the body. He asked if I had the frame and explained that Barry Lobeck had just finished the perimiter frame with Heidts IFS,I'm installing a Jag rear, he asked about the frame modifications , I said it's been pinched , stretched 4 " , and kicked up in the rear , plus raised motor mounts. Pete explained I would have to cut out the trunk floor due to the kicked up rear and cut out the trans.tunnel due to the raised motor mounts, all of which I was prepared to do. He also said it would be better to build the body on the frame . Since I had not taken delivery of the frame yet I had Lobeck bring it to Knoxville , Pete picked it up from there and took it to his shop to build another body that fit the frame with the modifications , so I wouldn't have to do them, and then he's going to deliver it by June 15 th. I asked him why he was going to all that trouble and he replyed, " I want a satisifed customer , that's the most important thing to Me " Now I believe that ya'll will agree with me that is a good thing. My Son is preparing to build a 32 Roadster and I know for sure we'll buy a BeBops Body again, Pete does build a very straight body , he uses alot of coremat in it and it's all hand laid. I for one am impressed with the quality of his bodies, but most of all his Business Ethics. Both Pete and His Lovely wife Tereasa are wonderful people to deal with , SOOOOOO if any one is contemplating building a glass car , I would like to suggest BeBops. http://www.bebops-glassworks.com/skiball

Good to hear...
It is always nice to hear about companies that stand behind their work... Sounds like Bebops has the right idea...

Many of the long tube cast headers I've run across had a relief ground on the back side for starter bolt clearance. I just trimmed the bolt on mine. On these new shorty's, they eliminated the...
