Chopped and Bobbed 32 Sedan

[FoMoCo66]

This little number finally made it across the finish line, late for the 32 sedan build off it was started for, but worth the wait. She's been dropped at both ends with a scale 3-inch chop giving her just the right stance. Out back, the tail’s been bobbed and rolled for that smooth transition from body to frame.

Under the hood, it’s a blend of the old and the bold. Being a die-hard fan of the Ford Windsor camp, I got creative — grafting a flathead Ford intake onto the windsor to squeeze in a tri-carb setup. She’s wired to my standards with spark plugs, plumbed with fuel lines, and fitted with a beehive oil filter for that period-perfect touch.

The paint? Two coats of TS-60 Pearl Green lay down the attitude, followed by three coats of Tamiya gloss clear, hand-polished to a glassy shine.

Thanks for looking and comments are much appreciate!

Thank you, that definitely took a lot of fiddling. The engine is actually moved forward and up, I think it looks a little better.

Nice 32 Tudor there Elliot, I like what you did with the triples on the Windsor. I noticed that you did the brass welsh plugs on your engine block, a small detail that I do on my engines sometimes. Body mods are well done and not overdone. Thanks for sharing.

Looking good.

That's beautiful! I love that green (those Tamiya pearls are my favorites).

Appreciate it, the tripples definitely give it that vintage vibe I was going for. A 750 double pumper would not look right on this.

I also just realized that I forgot to add a ignition coil. I'll have to fab one up after work.
