Phildaupho Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Details of construction can be found On The Workbench I see I forgot the lower rad hose
Bernard Kron Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Perhaps my all-time favorite Deuce, extraordinary in its svelte proportions and low stance. The perfect blend of Gloy's sports car sensibilities and the Brizio shop's formula for hot rod elegance. This was an ambitious project on your part and it's come out very nicely indeed!

espo Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Beautiful looking build. I really like the the way the body is channeled over the frame.

The real car was painted an unidentified mid-fifties blue that is somewhere between grey and this color. It looks different in every photo I looked at. 7 hours ago, ChrisR said: Very nice!

Bernard Kron Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Here's the Brizio build page including final photos which should give you all the detail you could ever want. https://www.roybriziostreetrods.com/progress/gloy_2/index.htm This is perhaps the most successful blending of contemporary automotive sophistication and authentic traditional hot rod aesthetic ever achieved in a single Deuce. From the torsion bar front suspension used to ensure practical ground clearance in such an ultra-low car, to the seats inset into the floor pan to create a practical and comfortable position for both driver and passenger (and, extraordinarily, permitting an up-top!!!!), I can't recall anything to equal it.

Thank you for the info. These pictures show just how much is done on a build of this nature. Sometimes it's hard to truly appreciate the workmanship that goes into a car like this.
vintagercr Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Phil, I thought it was the real deal. Very nice!

oldcarfan Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Dude! You should be teaching classes on how to build! This looks amazing.

Dennis Lacy Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 The full scale car is one of the best looking and proportioned channeled '32 Roadsters ever built, then or now. You did a wonderful job capturing the look and feel of it! No finished picture of the reworked chassis after all the work you did?
