One of my current projects is a 1932 Ford Hot Rod. I have always wanted to build one of these. They are such cool cars. In photos 1
& 2 you can see a view of the floor board. Photo 3 shows the rear section. Photo 4 shows the hair pin. I purchased the seat frame
from Glide. It came powder coated and you can see it in photo 5. Photos 6-9 shows the dash board with the gauges. In photo 10 you
can see the dash installed in the car with the gauges. The new 1940 Ford steering wheel can be seen in photo 11, and photo 12 gives
you a view of the steering column that Doug Reynolds made for me. Photo 13 is of the pedal assembly. Photo 14 shows the steering
U joints and in photo 15 you can see the rack and pinion steering assembly.

Photo 16 is of the brake line routing. In photo 17 you can see the front end installed. A dummy motor for reference is in photo 18. In
photo 19 you can see the forming of the front brake lines around the cross member. Photo 20 gives a view of the front shock. You
can see the rear end assembly in photo 21. Photo 22 shows the rear end after it was powder coated. I am putting in a 1939 Zephyr
transmission and this can be seen in photo 23 & 24. Photo 25 shows the transmission mount. Photo 26 shows the rolling chassis.
Photo 27 gives a view of the front grill installed and of the headlights. Photo 28 shows a side view. The fuel tank was installed as can
be seen in photo 29. I needed help to lift the body onto a homemade dolly. Three of my friends came to my rescue and you can see
us discussing the best way to do it in photo 30.

Photos 31-33 shows us lifting the body unto the dolly. Not bad for a bunch of old guys, although we sure enjoyed our break (photos
34-36). Photos 37- 40 shows the modification that Matt Howard from Deluxe did to the firewall. In photos 41- 44 you can see the
underside of the body. A center drive shaft housing was added for the torque tube to clear. Here I am in photo 45 torquing the heads
on the V12 Lincoln engine.

I am using a pair of Stromberg carburetors on an Edmunds intake manifold and these can be seen in photos 46 & 47. I made copper
oil lines for the oil filter system (photos 48 & 49). In photo 50 you can see the starter that was powder coated and the chrome band
around it. You can see the dual points distributor in photo 51. I had the generator powder coated and this can be seen in photo 52.
Photo 53 shows the engine block water drain plug. I put the engine on a cart (photo 54-58) that my good friend Dave Edmonds built
in order to move it around. Those things are heavy! The engine is almost done (photo 59) and now I will start to build the exhaust
system.
Now that the Toyopet is done I hope to complete the '32 soon. It sure looks neglected sitting in the garage, but not for long!
