Just another '32 roadster - but it's mine

Charlie; Progress is always nice to see and surprising too, considering you're working part time on a shop with and for that slave driver who masquerades as a cook during RRT functions.
Thanks for the update and snapshots. Things look like they're being well thought out & planned, naturally...............Frank

Quote from: "39deluxe"Now that's what I want to do when I retire, if ever. I need to get the Corvette and the truck done first though.

Tom, check this out: http://www.astreetrodder.com/1959vette.htm
My dad had this '59 Vette, bought it new in '59 and sold it in '62; I was born in '65 so all I have is pictures and the window sticker.

Al,

That's pretty cool to still have the window sticker. It was a well equipped car and a lot of money for the time. Mine was all black, soft top only, 270 horse dual 4 bbl and 4 speed. Other options were the courtesy light and the heater. I bought it in August of 1969 when I came home from my all expense paid vacation in beautiful south east Asia.

hey Charlie! Man, that just ain't "another 32 Ford roadster" - that's one fine looking hot rod! I too love the drilled rear cross member! Good choice on one of Cam's Duvals, and did you know I borrowed a frame off of him to pattern our Duval header for the Topster!? Cam and I were in the same car club in Vancouver BC ( the Intruders) back in the early 60's. So it's guaranteed to fit perfect! Drop me a line when you're ready for a top, we'll be here! Keep up the great work! Larry

Looks great Charlie, hey is that Topster the one you were telling me the guy gives RRT members 50% off

I need one too.

heh Heh Heh, ahhhhhhhhh Roadstar, yer SUCH a kidder!

Roadstar · January 14, 2007, 08:49:59 PM

HAHA yeah, I have checked out the web site, it is a good looking top. Do you have a standard price or are they made to order depending on application. I do want a top on this roaster. I have even thought about a stock style one just so I could fold it down when I was on the Road, The Bop top says it folds up and goes into the trunk but I have put that top on for customers and I woundn't want to try and break it down, way too much infolved.

Yours look like it might actaually come apart easier.

Sorry to hijack your post Charlie );b(

Charlie, You do work fast. It looks good. I have seen that frame jig before. That was handy for you.
