Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster 13 Attachment(s)
Painted some misc stuff yesterday at work. Lost a front shock lever somehow...Cant find it anywhere...Not sure about a rumble step or taillight. Not sure how you could do both. Everyday i just try to do something...
Note the brass water inlets. My father made these front billet brass. Thought it would be cool to use these on this car. I need to drill them yet... |

Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster Nice collection of parts there. I'm a little surprised by the drag link. 32s normally use a one piece part. (With dismantle-able ends). having an adjuster is ok, but two?

Well...I using the paint shop at work because its so cold now. I normally have an hour or so of freedom. I needed to paint my brake line brackets and master cylinder. I just sandblasted a bunch of stuff, just enough i can do in an hour. If it chips ill blast another coat next batch... |

I did both tail light and rumble seat step bracket by trimming the tail light bracket to fit inside of the recess in the rumble seat step bracket. I didn't modify the rumble seat bracket for fear of weakening it, also the rumble seat step bracket was original and the tail light bracket was repro.

Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster While it is understood that you are not restoring the car to as-built condition, along with what Mart mentioned, the spark plug wire conduits in your photos are post-'36 versions.

Crap...I didnt know their was a difference...Ill go grab some more. Hopefully i have the right ones... |
Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster The '32-'36 versions' attachment arms are almost twice as long and are welded to the tubes vertically and then bent over 90 degrees where the holes are for the intake manifold bolts. If you happen to have a pair that have only a single flare in the tube where the spark plug wires exit to the distributor, those are true '32s. The '33-'36 versions have two progressive flares at that end (and are easier to insert the tapered rubber transition pieces accordingly).

One other note, IF you are running a 1939 and later engine, you will need a different crank pulley than that shown in your photos. However, given you have a pair of lower water inlets painted I would presume you are running a 21 stud engine. Good Catch on the conduits David! |

From the basement, what I assume is a 33-36 conduit so one can tell the difference to the later ones.

Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster Ian,
The one in your photo appears to be a 1933 not a 1932 |
Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster 1 Attachment(s)
Sorry, but that's a '33 front shock arm. The '32 shock arms are shown in the photo below.
