A couple quick pictures

[chopper526]

Here is where I am at today..... I just had a piece of glass cut for the windshield and put it in over the weekend. I installed it with butyl tape and after the car is painted I will finish it off with weatherstripping. Now, I am just one exhaust system away from driving this car around the block! Santa......please bring me an exhaust system.

Missed a couple.......

Man I miss my 32.
Yours looks good, but I would have driven it all over the place by now, even with no exhaust. I took my 27 down to a friday night cruise at a local sonic with no exhaust or windshield. I had a friend who is a police officer with the Aurora police warn me to watch out for the cops hiding out in the mall parking in lot. Your car has come a long way.
Be proud.  John

John, believe it or not, but I am a Philly cop. I've been a cop for 31 years, but it's not worth the aggravation or embarassment if I get stopped or the disruption to my neighbors . I'm hoping right after Christmas I will have the cash to do the exhaust, and then LOOK OUT!!

That's a great looking ride.I might be biased but I think the 32 is one of the best designs Chevy ever did.  Do you think an exhaust system is going to fit in your stocking?

Weld some flanges on a couple of Cherry Bombs and take it out for a ride!  I agree with Moose I think 32 Chevys are one of the best looking cars from the thirties.  Your coupe looks great!

I understand what you are saying. If I had gotten pulled over the embarassment, and teasing would have been too much for this old guy. The next day I installed the windshield and the following weekekend it went to the exhaust shop. Nice and quiet now, well except for the new glass packs rumble. hehe

Nice 32 Chevy!

When people say 32 every one thinks Ford. But in my eyes a 32 Chevy 5 window coupe  has it all over a ford.
Nice car Chopper.

Thanks, 32chevyvette. That's what I like about this site, I can say I have a '32 five window and no one will get offended and say "only Fords can be called that".

I like the rear fenders on your coupe. Have ya thought about some cycle style fronts with ten spokes?

Wanted to ask how you installed the windshield?  Glue or rubber?

Plans for my 33 (5W) is to glue in the front, back and side quarter glass and use the garnish moldings to help secure the glass.  Not sure how the rubber style locks in on these cars.

Hey Ghost, thanks! The rear fenders are fiberglass, I definitely want to put front cycle fenders on it, I just haven't started looking yet. Any ideas?

Ed, I put the winshield in with butyl tape and held in place by interior trim. I made sure the tape was not flush with the outside of the body. Then, once I paint the car, I am going to finish the outside with a piece of rubber gasket. I will trim away the cannel so that only the lip sits around the outside of the windshield and over the body and I will glue it in to give the appearance of a one piece rubber gasket/weatherstrip. I ordered about 5 different types of weatherstripping from Steele and then I chose the one that I thinks fits and looks the best. I think the part number I chose was; 70-0075-57. I think the rubber looks good and maybe a little nicer than forming a bead of glue or caulk. I'll try to post some pictures to show you what I mean.

  One large rear cycle fender cut in half would be my choice. What ever way you go have them mounted so they turn with the front wheels would be cool.

Sure have a lot of 32 Chevy posts on the forum...and the more I see of them...the more I want one. Been going the wrong way, have a 33, and 34...was looking for a 35.  But a 32,33,34 combo isn't bad either...that 32 body looks a lot easier to chop...but also looks great tall!
