Thread: New Roadster

Tweet

After building over 50 32 roadsters in my time, I thought it was time to build my final 1 for my self. With the passing of my wife I thought I'd do it in a tribue to her. This was her all time favorite (mine as well) and most other of my Hot Rod world of friends agree it was my best. (So did the guy who bought it @ Barrett/Jackson)
Have been ordering parts for the last few days and they are already startin 2 show up.
The Big brown truck Fed ex and USPS have been busy here in OKieland.
This is what I'm cloning.
Target date for completion is June 1st, then a few shake down miles and off to the "6th Annual Great Greybeard Adventure"
Destination this year is the "Hot Rod Reunion" in Bowling Green Ky, the 3 weekend of June

Glass or steel?

What difference does it make?
As long as I'm satisfied with it.

Too many caught up in the glass vs steel issue that will never own 1 anyway. About 40% of the 1's I have built have been steel and of those about 50% original Henry steel not Brookville which is a repop just like a glass car
.
Most can't tell the difference if it's a quality body unless they start tappin on it and if they do that I'll start tappin on them.

So, is this going to be a clone of the previous one or something similar? Curious mind wants to know!

yeah we all know how pastures are just full of steel deuces . i would rather have a nice glass body as opposed to a patched up rust bucket . a nice orig body will cost more than a build in glass.

Identical to it right down to nuts and bolts.
Pulled the file on it and duplicated the parts list exactly.
Only this time I will also have a set of Steelies for it also

Ya mean ya don't have 2 or 3 stuffed out on the back 40 Shine ?

Right parts, right stance, right look. Awesome '32, Don. Standing by for the build.

i used them for fill

A KEEPER? I was beginning to think you did not know the definition of that word.
You certainly chose a good one to go after.
Now, I just have to start a petition for you not to sell the 40 delivery. You have to admit
they would make a great pair. Have you been using it lately?

This will be sweet Don! How are you coming on Tim's? I'm thinking it could be done and gone with as fast as you get em out.

Hey Shine, I have heard of you sort of blokes, those old cars down that back fence line is so full of buckshot holes now even the birds don't have trouble flying through them so I will run the bulldozer over next week and flatten them down so I can put all those '40 Coupes I found up there for target practice. And Obama wants all your guns, yeah right.

Good to see you back so soon Don and that you have a plan in mind to ease the pain of your lovely wife passing that will be in honour of her memory. I too will be keen to follow along on another of your exceptional builds.

Glass vs steel: I asked because the build process is different, that's all.

they can have them 55 grains at a time .

Yep it'll be a keeper Ray, as will the 40 Delivery 4 sure.
