I ask you very confidentially, aint she sweet ;)
Well, here she is in reality. In my shop beside my nephews 64 Malibu project. It was a long haul to get it here, loaded and unloaded off transports 3 times but arrived intact including all extra parts.
Incredible that most of the wood is still intact and dry, less floors. Even the windshield stainless is there.
Now thats its safe I can start thinking my way though the project over winter. I wont be starting until next spring but for now I can put together the build plan.
-
a few more pictures because... we all love pictures.
-
Okay, just a few more for fun.
-
Wow..what a good body and all major parts look in fantastic shape...good score
-
GREAT CAR ALMOST ALL THERE. MAIN THING IS THE WOOD HAS TO BE GOOD. OTHERWISE YOU HAVE TO REPLACE IT.
PASSENGER DOOR STICKING OUT AT BOTTOM, SHOULD BE A TURNBUCKLE ROD INSIDE DOOR RUNNING FRONT OF TOP OF WINDOW OPENING TO BOTTOM REAR, MAKE THAT TIGHTER TO PULL BOTTOM IN AND LINE IT UP.
NOT SURE WHATS GOING ON WITH DRIVERS DOOR AT THE TOP, MAYBE WOOD HAS COME LOOSE ???
RE SERIAL NUMBER......ACCORDING TO FRIEND FRANK AT GM CANADA, STARTING WITH 5, CAR WAS MADE IN OSHAWA.
CAR HAS WRONG FRONT BUMPER ON IT, SHOULD BE SINGLE BAR STRAIGHT ACROSS.
THE BEAUTY OF 32 CHEVROLET PASSENGER CARS, ALL THE SHEET METAL FOR HOOD, FENDERS , RUNNING BOARDS, GAS TANK COVER ARE ALL THE SAME .
GOTTA LOVE IT, 4 HOOD DOORS, DOUBLE BAR FRONT HEADLIGHT BAR, TRICK )

Woooo What a find Beautiful coupe does not look like it needs much.1932 Chevy first year for solid bumpers First year for syncromesh transmission also has Free Wheeling Dual headlight bar engine serial numbers for 1932 run 2319372 to 2333699.In 1933 chevrolet had an access of rear fenders so 1933 chevy truck got the 1932 chevy car rear fenders.If you wish to park that in my garage I will make room beside our 59 corvette. Your only original ONCE. vette59jdwl

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That car looks great! I am really looking forward to watching this!

If you do one thing, help yourself ,go out and get two or three cans of Honey Goo by kleen-flo..This is the best thing that i have ever found for rusted nuts bolts and screws in the last 50 years vette59jdwl

Nice ride, looks like you have a great start. looks like all the pieces hard to find are there.
-
Sweet ride!!! Looking forward to watching this build. Glad you posted all those pics!

Realyl nice solid complete car. I've said it before here but, we are what we are, I'd have a hard time hot rodding a car that is closer to original than to being a hot rod. They are only stock once no matter the quality of the restoration.
-
That's a nice find. I would like to find one like that for a future rod project, if I do one. :-\
-
Wow thats nice.
What size are the wheels/tires? I want those on my car (one day) .
When I got mine I didnt have any moola for a year or two . So I sat a stared at it deciding where to start and how. Good thing though, it helped me make some good decisions about it.
Ya got a good clean car there. Shouldnt take much to get it driveable .

Ghost 28 go here this is in Calgary Alberta just a tad north of you and with the U.S. dollar with a 25 % advantage this should be a great buy vette59jdwl

Moose I am out in the barn OK beside the barn and i am ripping the quarters off this roadster and i am going to see if the 31 rear fenders will fit If they will fit then i am going to get these modified to look like 32's.The only difference i can tell is that we lip that comes up in the middle of the rear fenders

NICE ! NICE! NICE!

Now that the 32 is home you have to update your avatar ;D

Hey all, thanks much. Sorry been busy loading up to head south for winter.
I juiced up all the nuts and bolts I can get too. Spring things will begin. I do want to mild rod it when I return.
Now in saying that, I respect folks an ting to keep things stock. If you want to build an original, I will discuss passing it along but Im not keen on it. Drop me an email if you really want to build a stock original. My email is hotrod.lono@gmail.com

LeadFreddie Not to sure how far north you are.There is no snow here yet just sort of cool.There are lads on here that HOT_ROD there are lads on here that it is sacrilege to say so There are lads on here that like them stock and lads on here that like them mild. Me well I sure do like juice brakes so its juice brakes for sure body wise as stock as i can keep her. I also am doing work of sorts on a 32 roadster I am using a 55/56 chevy front axle under the parallel springs on the 32 changing the steering gear to a tilt telescopic steering wheel out of a Cadillac and using a Dodge D-50 Rear end
Fits like a glove and gives me 6 bolt all the way around WHY you say???I also have a 2005 lowrider and 2 sets of wheels i also have a 2000 G.M.C sierra with 3 sets of wheels.And also have 8 -6 bolt wire wheels. It is also getting either a 230 or 250 chevy six cylinder and a 5 speed stick from a chevy S 10. Seats from a Jimmy Heater from the Jimmy and anything else that i can take out of the 92 JIMMY.This 92 jimmy is a 4x4 with the overdrive automatic I will probably shelve that I here Ed has lots of parts for that critter.I think that is a 3.8 liter engine with computer box

Vette59 that "32 sounds great to me. What tear are the Dodge D-50s with those tear ends?
Freddie, Your '32 is yours. You build it any way you want. It's just an old car and what ever you do with it is better than sitting in a field and rusting away. I think most of the cars sitting in big collections and museums would rather be hot rods. It's like keeping a race horse in a stall. :o

http://www.faxonautoliterature.com/1980-Dodge-Ram-50-Plymouth-Arrow-Truck-Repair-Shop-Manual-Original-P17014.aspx OR GO TO GOOGLE AND TYPE IN Dodge D-50. I think Ed here was also playing around with the idea I used a 1989 Dodge D-50 truck rear axle with 2 inch wide rear spring and it was bang on vette59jdwl

Also make sure you get the tailshaft of the driveshaft or get the whole driveshaft because it bolts to the rear pinion gear with 4 bolts and what i intended to do was put a disc brake and caliper there to use as a emergency brake VETTE59JDWL

Vette59, Thanks. I was planning on using a Dana 44 limited slip I have but they are such a pain to set up. I like some of the D-50 ratios. The 44 set I may use are 4.26. With OD trans that would give my 4 banger some help. Are the D-50 drive lines two piece? Does it have a slip joint in it? I need one like that.
-
sixball I will take you a picture and send it tomorrow vette59jdwl It is a two piece,Bit in my case i made it a one piece I used a chevy driveshaft and the Dodge D-50 tailshaft that bolts to the rear with four bolts
