SkullNBones's 1932 Ford Coupe

Factory Options:

N/A

Exterior Modifications:

The body is straight, the car is rust free and is untouched as it was back in the 60's Including; Chopped and original hinges.

What's new; Black primer paint. Replacement handles & hardware. New glass. 5 lug steel wheels. Wiper system. Mirror.

Interior Modifications:

50's style black / red, tuck & roll interior. Sound barrier padding & new perforated headliner. Custom dash w/ OEM standard speedo, etc from a '55 Belair. Recently repainted ermine white. Swapping out SW to Mooneye's gauges.
(In 1964, the builder put in 40+ hrs just to get the dash right, and it looks great).

Performance:

This car is as fast a early 60's era hot rod as I have ever driven (or seen). It's not the fastest car on the road today by no means, but it would have taken your car and your pink slip back in the early 60's. And that's what is cool to me. Old school? You bet!

I am swapping the built mouse motor for a built custom flathead. I've always wanted a pure hot rod with a flattie. See notes below.

Suspension/Chassis:

Drilled and split 42 wishbones, Drilled 4" SuperBell chromed drop Axle, 36 Ford Rear radius bars, 48 Ford Juice brakes.

Drivetrain:

FORMERLY: 327 Chevy V8, 400 hp., 194 ported polished, angle grind, Camel Hump heads. Edlebrock intake w/ complete & correct original tri-carb setup & finned valve covers, Competition Cam. 4 speed Saginaw. 9" Ford, posi with 411 gears.

I bought a turn key flathead motor and have spent months learning everything I can on flatheads. I've sold the small block chevy motor.

Electronics:

Just the basics. Radio delete.
