Thread: One way to build a '32 sedan

Tweet

Don - You are right, I also think that business that are successful, sometimes get this attitude that their is only one intelligent person in the conversation.
Now that I have had time to put this thing together, I would of been better off starting from scratch, it is awful. I'm not very good working with wood but I really think I could of done this better. I should of sent it back after my conversation with him.

Steve - That's pretty funny, especially after being at my house. I'm just kidding you. I'll tell you why I love the '32's. When I was a sophomore in high school, the fastest car was a '32 roadster, and I couldn't afford one. So I guess it's wanting something I couldn't have. To me it's the ultimate hot rod.

"So I guess its wanting something I couldn't have". That fire has been burning for quite a long time hasn't it Ken. Enjoy those 32's and build as many as you can! Take care.

Your newest truck project will be a 32? After the silver model?

Yep, pretty boring huh? This one will be different from the rest.
Ken

I don't think anything you do is boring! The model is pretty cool. Will be neat to see the real thing!

I think it is a conspiracy. Ken heads up this secret organization that is trying to lock up every 1932 Ford in the world. I see a future James Bond movie here........Goldfender! (Or, maybe Dr. No.......fenders.)

Don

"A 32 only lives twice , agent 0032, "Casino Royal Ford Blue".............
Maybe ken's more of an agent Q

How about, All the '32s in "The World Is Not Enough"

Alltho I really like the 32s, I have the 33/34 cars because we could get a license plate with RLC 1933 but not 32, 33,34 or 1932,1934

Really its because of the 6 inch extra lenght(wb, foot room) altho the license plate story is a fact (here in Illinois, but we're moving to Georgia so we'll have to see about there)

Ken, you're a bad influence. I see your stuff and now I want to blow my sedan apart and make some changes I've been planning. You are truly a 'craftsman'. Great build.

wingman9-Thank you, let's see some pic's of yours.
Ken

Wingman9... you're right! He makes the rest of us look like a bunch of hacks!

It's really amazing the world that the internet has opened up for all of us. We would never have had access to builds like this or the people who are so very good at their crafts and hobbies. I feel so lucky to be able to rub elbows with guys like Ken and all the others on here who freely take their time and share their hard earned secrets with everyone else.

It also raises the bar for the rest of us to see how the real experts build an engine, or craft an unbelievable creation from drawings on the garage floor.

Don

Hey Don, you and your sons are up there too in the craftmans stakes and with Ken, Jim Robinson, Techinspector, Bob Parameter and many more I am sure that I will remember their names once I have posted this,you all have been so helpful with ideas,advice and pictures.
