This 1932 Roadster was my 2nd 1932 Ford. Project I bought from Middle-Norway.
I picked up car from Norway begining of summer. After summer I started to built car. 1000hours all winter and car was ready.
1939 Ford deluxe Dash, steering, seat, engine, tranny, other stuff is 1932 Ford. Rear axle I made mixing 40s ford center section, 1932 ford tubes. I cut tube ends off and changed those from side to side. That is old "hot rod trick" how to get rear spring mountings 3" lower than original 1932 ford. Front axle I used original 1932 Ford heavy version. Front brakes are original 39-41 lincoln, rear 1940 ford.
Supercharger is Italmeccanica 2500 (small), ratio was 2 x crank RPM. Gives only 0,2bar boost, but that is better than vacuum. Front and rear tires I ordered from England. Old style racing tires, not radial, but works like radial tires. Hood straps are Finnish army stuff from 30´s. Cut, and make those fit to my use. Rear lights are Crimes 30´s - 40´s aircraft position/landing lights. Very rare. I changed those to 12V and fitted to my homemade rollpan. Rollpan is bolted on with 8 bolts. Easy to paint and bolt on - bolt off.
I sold car to Italy 2014. I liked this early 40s style hot rod and drive aprox. 13 000km in two summer.
Note MC style fenders. I made those week before Italian buyer arrived to pick up car. THey need fenders in Germany and Italy.

Body is soda blasted in Lapland Finland by Lapin Soodapuhallus Oy. Mika owner of the company is Kustom builder himself.
All the way from Lapland to home (500km) it was rain. No rost, soda is make protection cover over body. Before paintjob need to wash body and sand it over.

My car was in Tampere Hot Rod and Rock show. They promise that I can use big 6m x 2,2m banderol, but when I arrived there, no posibility to use it. So, ....I put that 400euro banderol under my car (I ordered that banderol because I was make deal with FHRA Tampere Ry leader that I can use it on wall behind my car). OK, they didnt give me any throphy. Shit car, now they know that my cars are chicken shit.
