'32 Ford 5w Coupe 409cid

[Reuhkapelti2]

Today I got finished this '32 Rod replica of the real car, that was built in Finland by Aulis Hämeenkorpi, (www.Auliz.fi) 

Chevy engine 409 cid, Muncie 21 trans. and Quick Change rear with 9" Ford axles. 

I chopped the roof and tilted the A-posts slightly backwards. 

I made a new fire wall, valve covers, air cleaner, axle supporters, towing gear, exhaust pipes and many other scratch made parts. 

I also opened the grill by scribing the strings apart from each other. 

Thanks for watching, feel free to comment.

Very sharp Rod

Great looking build. Fun to replicate a vehicle from the past that meant something to you.  Funny how that color has become popular again.

Super sharp hot rod!

Beautiful work Ismo!  I particularly like the chrome blisters on the hood - did you repurpose old kit headlights or jewellery items or what to make these?

Cheers

A nice looking rod Ismo. Particularly like the angle cut on the A pillar as it makes it look longer. 

I have been following the current 32 Roadster build that Aulis has on the HAMB -very talented builder

Hi Alan, those chrome blisters are made of Evergeen plastic by exacto knife and filing. 

And thanks everybody, Aulis is one highly talented car builder and it's fun to copy his cars into smaller scale.
