You guys Gotter check this out.
« on: January 16, 2017, 05:44:27 AM »
I just read this thread on the Hamb.
Guy builds a 32 Chev hiboy, and rubs through the paint, to the original paint.
I'm not a fan of fake patina, but this is a whole nuther ball game.

Please ignore the usual Hamb drama from the purist.

He said he would send me the details/links to build, as the engine isn't Hamb friendly.
I'm curious to see the details.

Nice looking 32!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Turns out, Don the owner, is a member here.
He sent me links to his build pics, and I've asked him to add them to this thread.

I'd never considered bringing back old paint, but how cool would it be, to be able to say your old car is still rocking its og paint.

Wow, I missed this earlier. I've brought the shine back out on many 50s-60s original paint cars, but never something that old....or removed primer to get to it.   That is a hell of a lotta work, very nice job he did there. Looks great! :)

What a sound body. How cool that it got to someone who realized how special it is. My first car was a '38 Ford coupe. It could have bee cleaned up like that but I ruined it. :(

I tried sanding off the flat black I sprayed and it went straight to the original primer. If I sanded any more it went straight to metal. I was trying to bring back the rust. Didn't work.
I had no idea even primer was left on it. Was all rusty when I bought it.

Thanks Kiwijeff for posting my '32 !

I hang around here for info, but haven't posted. I don't want to start a build thread (too much time involved), but I will post some info on the car, give links to photo galleries, and answer any questions anyone may have.

The car took 1,950 hours, ALL by me, except upholstery and exhaust. The body you see is THE original 1932 body, even the frame has the original paint production stamps below the drivers door ! I like proper proportions, and original parts modified to blend with the car.

Yes, it does have a diesel and a Ford transverse front suspension ..................... sorry.


•   Original paint, except for hood, 1"cowl patch, and chop seams   
•   All original steel body   
•   Chopped 3 inches   
•   ALL Wood structure replaced with steel   
•   Reproduction wood top rails and slats   
•   All original exterior lighting, modified with modern internals   
•   Original steering wheel, park brake, rear view mirror, door handles/trim, heater, etc……………   
•   Frame constructed with the original 1932 frame rails (factory stamp below driver door)   
•   Cummins 4BT (3.9L) engine, Holset HX30W turbo, intercooled, modified pump, etc……………   
•   M5OD-R2 Transmission   
•   8.8 Differential, 31 spline axles, Yukon gears/locker, etc…………….   
        ’32 Ford style front suspension, Super Bell, Posie, Pete & Jakes, etc……………….

Very cool ride, you should be proud.  I went through all the pics  Nice job documenting everything.  I like your work on replacing the wood and on the chassis.  Thanks for posting the info and pics.

That is very nice. Thanks for the detailed build pictures especially the wood replacement. That is something that worries me about my '26 roadster build. I know I have a lot less of it compared to a close car but I also have less skill. The original paint thing has me thinking too. Mine still has a lot of original paint but maybe not enough.
I bet the turbo Cummins is a hand full. A friend has one in a rat pickup. The engine doesn't know it's hooked to anything!
