Nice! Thats some tight quarters you’re working with there.?

32 Ford AWD Update:
Interior coming together. Glass is now in.

Update:

I have made excellent progress. I got the glass in, I had to cut down the windshield which was nerve racking and I cut new quarter and rear windows out of real thin clear Evergreen. I also finally got the floor pan glued in. Earlier this evening I got the body glued to the chassis. So I had to do a mock up with the potential tire-wheel combination. It does sit rather level but it is AWD. What do y’all think?? Keep smiling.

Wow, talk about 10ilbs of potatoes in a 5 lb bag!  The 38 hood sides are a very interesting touch. It will be nice if you can get the nose down a fraction, for all us old hot rodders but if not, like you say, it is all wheel drive!

Cheers

Actually, most hot rods in the 40's sat level. This is looking very good!

This is coming along really nicely.

I have mocked up those same wheels along side 32 fords so many times because I love that wheel/tire package, but could never make them look right. They look great on yours though, i wonder if the extended wheelbase has something to do with it?

I think you're on to something about the longer wheel base and those rims...

They made the difference on the Saltster -KK

Saltster Rims - Front & Back

thanks for the compliments guys, here lately it has been a series of small but Annoying frustrations. But I think I was getting over that part now. I should be posting an update here real soon

Okay, here is where I’m at on this, the radiator got mounted, but I spent 3 days trying to get the lower radiator hose connected. The upper radiator hose was easier to put in. Steering column and steering box had to go in next and that was another two days of frustration but all is in now and it fits pretty good.

Update: I spent the time Monday afternoon getting the wheels and tires together and mounted. More details are to still yet to be done but it’s looking promising. I’m living with the stance. Thanks for all the comments guys.

My apologies for not getting back to this I’ve been rather busy on other projects and work. I finally got a support bracket for the transfer case made and the exhaust is in. I tried various ways and designs and none worked. A good friend on this board Exotics Builder helped me out tremendously. Now on to the headlights and other finishing touches. Cheers.

Update: 1932 Ford AWD is complete. I’ll be posting in the finished section.

Sweet, that turned out real nice!?
