Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

I don't want to turn this into a pissing match (though I'm getting ready to fuel it), so I'll leave it with this thought....for those who say we should've started with a Brookville 3w, I would debate...

It has Joe Longobardi's setup using the electronic solenoid valve.

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

Thanks guys. Like motordr referenced my previous post....yes the car appeared very original, but in reality it had been touched over the years. We didn't do anything to it that can't be undone by...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

Well it's been awhile since I posted progress on the car. We were in a mad thrash to get the 3w done, and my new 5w back together in time for the Good Guys show in Columbus. Fortunately, we made...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

Dan built the headers from scratch. There wasn't anything out there to clear everything on the left side with the Nash steering box (it is slightly closer to the engine).



They're from Aulis...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

We've been chugging away on the 3w lately. Over the weekend, I wrapped up the remaining electrical items, so we started to reassemble the interior. The dash came first, followed by an accessory...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

We took a little break on the 3w while we were doing some house remodeling, but I'm back on it. I installed the '37 Nash steering box that Neal Jennings built for the car. It's nothing short of...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

To each their own! But seriously though, as original as this car looked, it had been somewhat disassembled, repainted a different color, and had a later engine installed. We are keeping all the...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

Yes we have a 4.11 in the Columbia. I figured with the 7.00-18 tire, we would be chugging the engine with a 3.78.

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

We made them from F1 upper mounts that were heated and bent, then we made a 1/4" plate in the shape of the lever shock to mount to the frame. It also has a doubler plate on the back side of the rail...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

We assembled the rear suspension over the past couple of days. The axle is a '33/34 Columbia that was built by Joe Longobardi. We just had to shorten the tube and driveshaft. The brakes are also...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

The engine came in from H&H the other day, so we got to work prepping it for the install. Basically, we just had to cut the motor mounts off the water pumps, and install the '32 mounts to get it...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

We assembled the front suspension on the car the other day. The shock mounts turned out really well.....they hide behind the axle while still clearing the surrounding pieces. The car has Lacy's...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

We've been getting the suspension parts prepped for the car. Since it's going to sit fairly low, the tie rod was going to have interference issues with the crank pulley (we didn't want to do a bent...

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

After a little cleanup, the original black paint on the frame was showing in quiet a few areas. Needless to say, there isn’t any pitting/cracking/rust anywhere on this…….

Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

We then pulled the front and rear suspension leaving the body with the rear fenders and frame. All of the parts that came off are getting put up rather than modified. I had extra ’32 spindles and an...

1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

I have this thread posted over on the HAMB, but I thought some of the people on the FordBarn would appreciate this car. Hopefully it's not too much of a hot rod - and it's definitely not a build with...
