Default "Lost" '32 Three Window, more info, 32 3W Body Tag number

Got the brakes fixed, tank flushed and rock crusher trans linkage fixed, so took her out for maiden voyage to Baja Cantina in Carmel Valley. SCARY fast, screams rubber in any gear at any time. Feels like a sauna inside from the motor heat, AND the vintage heater that is stuck in the ON position. Droning headers, and ancient suspension making your teeth rattle out.

Also found the original body tag, looks like #1746, and has a June 18- VIN number.

I plan to put '40 16" with bigs and littles, drop the front and that is it. So after all these years, the 32 is out at night roaming the streets....!

You are teasing me with that 32. I would mow your lawn for life.

"SCARY fast, screams rubber in any gear at any time."

So, sounds like you still have a Flathead in it

That car is the definition of hot rod. How about some under hood shots? or are they not ford barn approved? Very nice thanks for posting.

I believe that the "stock" looking hot rods are gaining favor in the hot rod crowd. For whatever reason, I think that the rat rods, have caused this.
A set of big ole stock headlights would look awesome on this coupe.
