Just be patient and plan on a beer two hrs later. the black boot covers are Model A and the one on the e brake is a bear.
Tomorrow the newly painted fenders go on- more photos. Newc

Well; here's a weekends worth of work, and about two weeks in those front fenders-still need some rub out. But it is starting to look like it did before the fire. I offered it to the original owner, but he is done. Racing for Wenachee, July 8 th final day in shop. Newc

I have always loved the look of the 'unmolested' 32 front end. Looking great thanks for saving it. Thanks for sharing it.

Final assembly today. Some electrical gremlins to be sorted [2]. Install doors, raise rear of hood, visit DMV/insurance folks and plan for the Nationals in July. Probably not too many more photos of this '32. It's been a real rush-about a year? Newc

Finished!! At least my part of this '32 PU. I am burned out after 11 Months of this '32. Drove around the shops and to the highway and back-enough for the NW Nationals next week. Not absolutely perfect, but I learned a lot. More respect for the concours cars. I missed 2 burn damaged parts [heated] and 3rd Gen was a life saver. Enjoy the LAST photos and the END of this thread-well maybe the Nationals? Newc
