32 ford hardtop

[scotty60]

Heres the next one
I decided to do a hard top this time.I think it looks quit smart actually, not sure what colour to do yet maybe red,yellow,green or orange what do you think.

[WoodJunky]

looking good !!

just wondering if you are going to cut out a rear window ?

Something like this would look good and that colour would be look good as well. Either that or you could also do a mix just like the other image

[scotty60]

Thanks woodjunky

not sure if im going to do rear window or not yet and the next one ill be doing like the second pic no motor exposed maybe with paint like that or maybe flames.

[WoodJunky]

will look forward to seeing your next car especially if it is like the second pic. That one has an old school look to it and it would not look the same if you had the motor exposed like your other ones, although the first pic would look great with the motor exposed

Bright Yellow with a matt black roof.

[Waldo]

That'd look alright :aro-u: , but for the purist rodders a gloss body and a black primer roof wouldn't work.

[WoodJunky]

what about this one

[Yonnee]

That'd look alright :aro-u: , but for the purist rodders a gloss body and a black primer roof wouldn't work.

You're right. I just realised it's being built as a hardtop.:doh: A soft top roof would have to be Matt black.

Some of these may give you and idea

Hoping on the weekend to get time to machine up the wheels and get grille made.

I like it with Fenders Scotty.But to tell you the truth.I think there is too much angle down on the bonnet.I went back and looked at earlier photos and it didn't stand out.
Todays shots with guards and wheels magnify the angle maybe.
Just my opinion.Dont mean to upset you.
AUSSIE
PS I voted YES first voter:2tsup:

[scotty60]

Still the same angle i havent altered it.

Yeh I realise that.I blew the photos up a bit and measured it the best I could.
Ithink it is because of the wheel sizes maybe

[scotty60]

Yeh maybe, its the same as the first 1 also,hows your truck going you started to post.

Looking at the various stages of your build, I really like the no roof version, it has a real Procal look to it. :2tsup: (I know it's not what you were asking though)

[scotty60]

I'll have to buy shares in the super glue factory, the front fender broke on me 3 times while trying to form it thats why i build it up with nikky to give it some strenght.I dont mind the look with the fender once its moulded into the body and painted should look smick.

You're right. I just realised it's being built as a hardtop.:doh: A soft top roof would have to be Matt black.

I've just had another look at all the pics and have a question that might seem a little picky. My first instinct for the color was because the shape you have done the roof is for a soft top on a Roadster, whereas the 3 window Coupe, or the 5 window Coupe have a much more vertical rear window panel plus 'A' pillars. So, are you doing a Coupe, or a Roadster with a roof? I reckon the latter, and leave the roof so it's removable.

The front fenders on these swoop back further too, almost to the bottom of the doors.


Keep 'em coming Scotty!! :2tsup:

:doh: I just noticed in your last pics that you've already filled them in a bit... :2tsup:

[scotty60]

Im doing a coupster they were very rare model,and yes theres still a bit more moulding to do on the fenders. i have chosen a colour its like another harliquen colour i think its called monte carlo, its black mainly but throws of reds,blues,green yellow etc on the flips were light hit it and hopefully the chrome for rims, motor etc, should look fantasic.


In the plans they call it the optinal hardtop and it has a rear window im not sure if im doing or not yet.

A rare Model Allright.
Ford designed it back in 32.Made 2 proto types and put them on display at the 32 Detroit Car show.Due to the depression and low sales of cars at the time they decided not to make the production model.


Anyone suck in this story???:D:D:D

[scotty60]

Ok got the other side fenders made and cutout out and glued all in postion.Got pics with roof and without.

Sc:2tsup:otty How is this rod going?

[scotty60]

Hi Aussie

scotty

CHEERS

[scotty60]

Ok guys finally got to start on the hardtop again in between doing the chopper.Today i rerubbed the body and motor and got the black base coat applied.Next ill rub down the base coat then apply the monty carlo topcot then the clear.I still have to putty the rims yet then paint black with chrome inserts and chrome motor.

[AUSSIE]

Wow! A true Classic Rod I like it Scotty.I thought this one was lost:B But No you have it going again.Chopper is coming along fine as well:2tsup:

[scotty60]

yeh its been a while but now ill see it through,ill rub it down tomorrow and final coat it.

[WoodJunky]

:2tsup: That looks fantastic Scotty :2tsup:

It has been a while since we have seen work on this one, but it has been worth the wait.

It will be one tough looking 32 when you have it finished

[scotty60]

got the topcoat done today but not sure if it will stay that way ill wait and see when its dry to decide

[Harry72]

Looks nice in the sun

[Billy]

Looking great Scotty,:2tsup:
I know you put a lot of time into the harlequin paint job but (IMHO) I thought
it looked excellent with just the black base coat.:)
Look forward to seeing your wheels too.:D

cheers, billy:fireman:

[scotty60]

Colour is going to change, will i put it back to black and chrome or change colour all together????

[artme]

Looking really good Scotty.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

[Billy]

hi scotty, I reckon the car looks really tough with the black paint job, nice stance with the low front end
cheers, billy

[scotty60]

Yeh i got the rod rubbed down and final coats applied also.Ive gone back to black but when i took a pic with the flash it highlighted some pearl flake in the clear which must be a bit of gold and red pearl i used on the chopper,so ill wait till ts dry and have a look in the sun.

[Billy]

awesome

[scotty60]

Been doing a bit here and there after work during the week got the body rubbed down with 1500 and gave it a buff and polish, next ill get the wheels puttied up.

[AUSSIE]

I have to say Scotty-That is one fine paint job you have there.:2tsup:
You have the right touch -Waiting to see it finished.:U
Aussie

[scotty60]

Thanks Aussie
You would think i should be able to get it right after doing painting for over 25 years.

[scotty60]

Had a play around today after work with the rod didnt want to do to much a bit hot here today so i made a dashboard and steering wheel and also some pedals.Once i get them painted with the chrome paint i will stick them in the car.

[scotty60]

Havent had a chance to touch since hurt finger hopefully start soon,looking at doing inserts for wheels on waterjet,hopefully they'll turn out.

[dallasmmartin]

Scotty, I am a little late to this party. The rod and choppers look great. What size are they? They look pretty big in the pictures. Dallas

[artme]

Sorry Scotty, haven't dropped in on this for some time.:B

:oBloody fantastic paint job there mate!!!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

I think you will want to keep that when you are finished.

[munruben]

Excellent WIP The car is coming up a treat.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

[scotty60]

Thanks Guys,

Dallasmmartin the 32 ford is 300mm ,orange chopper 520mm and the new chopper is 620mm in lenght.Thanks Artme it did come up well. Today i got the wheels puttied and the body repolished,then i machined up a couple of headlights out of timber.Tonite ill start to design the mag insert.

[dallasmmartin]

Scotty,They look great. The size is smaller than I had thought. Dallas

[scotty60]

Got the drawings done and stayed back tonight and cut them out on the waterjet,i had too cut 3 rear ones cause i lost one in the tank.They should look great once painted chrome with black background and chrome rim.

[Yonnee]

OK Scotty, it's nearly been 3 years since the last update on this car. :U

Have you had a chance to finish it?

[crowie]

OK Scotty, it's nearly been 3 years since the last update on this car. :U

Have you had a chance to finish it?

I'm pretty sure that it's the one I saw when Scotty & I met at my daughters place about 12mths back!!!!

[scotty60]

Was that a year ago bloody hell.
No i havent finished yet but i did score some of that chrome paint but i dont think it is enough to do the job. I will get it done when i finished the truck and rod
