Re: Installing a 32' Roadster Body
Originally, a product called Bundy tubing was used by Ford for fuel lines. It is composed of s copper-plated steel steel strip formed (wrapped) into double wall thickness tubing and fused together. Through the 1935 model year, the fuel gauges Ford used were so-called nydrostatic gauges which operated based on the amount of air pressure built up in the in-tank sending unit. The air traveled through a very small air line also made of Bundy tubing which was fused to the fuel line except at the very rear and at the firewall. The routing of these lines is shown on page A-14-5 and in the photos below.
While I have installed fuel/air lines on '32s with the body already in place, the better way is to install it before the body is installed.
The tail lamp wiring is not difficult to install after the body is in place, but again, it is a lot easier to do so before the body drop.
