Primo job on this build, I especially like the worn leather look interior, bravo ?

Beautiful paint color and finish. Like the understated look of the engine finishes. Cutting off the roof and covering the rear seat give this a really different look.

Very cool rod. I especially like the color, interior, and the black headers and exhaust system.

Fancy tub with tasteful mods!

That looks terrific.   Very tastefully executed.   Nice job!

Wish I had a 1:1 of these in my driveway!  Awesome presentation of your leather seats. (My brother has a place in Sarasota - 90 mph winds last he checked in about an hour ago - hope ‘uncle Milton’ passes quickly and everyone is safe)

The 32 Ford is a really kewl looking Hot Rod. The Tamiya TS-11 maroon with the semi-gloss clear looks the part man.  Fantasic looking build.

Your slammed together looks way better than my max effort. Top notch build as always.
