Ace-Garageguy Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Built Merc flathead, hydraulic brake conversion, chopped windshield frame. You don't get any more authentic than this. NOT a rat-rod, but a period-perfect hot-rod, in progress, daily driver. Edited June 23, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I love vintage hot rods and they don't get much better than a '32 hi-boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedfreak Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 That's beautiful, man, it just looks soooooooooooooooo ready to drive! That is if the box of parts in the passenger floor aren't needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 That's beautiful, man, it just looks soooooooooooooooo ready to drive! That is if the box of parts in the passenger floor aren't needed! This car gets used a lot, and has made several long trips (hundreds of miles each way) with no issues...in HOT weather. It was built almost entirely by the owner, a guy in his 40s (on the far right in the second picture). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Wishbones, friction shocks and a banjo steering wheel. It doesn't get more old school than that. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thanks Bill for posting these time capsules. Is the leather strap inside the driver's door something added, or was it really there? Good stuff! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
