FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Paul, If you need major work (such as the engine) be sure to check the person/company you are considering in the archives, here, on fordbarn and on HAMB. If the company has a symbol in the name (such as "&") it will confuse the search engines and not produce results. Sometimes you can go through GOOGLE and get around the problem. For example, if you want information on C&G (a very good early Ford parts supplier) you can go to GOOGLE and search on: C&G on fordbarn, C&G on early ford v8 club, C&G on jamb I would recommend checking out any company before spending large amounts of money on parts and shipping charges.

Tom thanks for the reply. You and Charles have saved my life, I knew I should start with the Old Ford club of some kind and found this one thank you and any club members that help with this car.
I have talked to a flat head builder and he said it coast around $8000 to go thru them.
I ask the owner what he wonted to do and he said he has no time for his old cars so sell them as is.
So Tom if you or some one in the club knows of a person who's wanting a nice 32 roadster.
If you have a good website to sell lit me know Paul

Paul,

Start by being sure the paperwork is clean and matches the number on the frame next to the steering box. You will probably want to bring it up to date with a Non-op certificate. You may want to register it in Oregon if that is appropriate but what is the current status of the paperwork and what state does your friend live? The real answer on what you can or cannot do comes from the DMV but it is best to know the answer before you ask them the question. I see California plates? If you need to register the car in California and California wants to hit you for back due registration I believe there is an exemption for back registration for antiques (you are going to have to research it, I don’t know the details). If your friend has moved to Oregon and not updated the registration I believe you just start with the Oregon DMV but you should ask the Oregon DMV. Keep in mind state sales tax, do they have that in Oregon? And then there is capital gains tax for an appreciated asset.

You need to hang the sheet metal on and take a bunch of pictures. Be sure to show the radio, the dual temp gauge the dual fender mounted spares (get a picture that shows both spares at the same time, like from the front) and the parts that bolt onto the top of the engine (carburetor, manifold, generator etc.). I would advertise here, on fordbarn.com and on HAMB (I sure would hate to see it turned into a street rod but to be fair to your friend it should go to the one willing to pay the most). The nice thing about fordbarn and HAMB is that you can post multiple pictures. Send an ad (send it by email if you can get the email address so the recipient can forward it others in the club) for the newsletter in each of the local chapters as shown on the Home Page under Regional Club Directory. Remember it may be a couple of months before the ad is published so you might send out a "teaser" ad while you are trying to get organized (figure out what you want for the car and try to get it running). Others will comment on EBAY, Hemmings and the Early Ford V8 Club magazine. Someone will end up with a nice car.

The original motor could have had sleeves (thin wall or thick) added for repair of a bad cylinder. The 50/50 mix is not a bad idea or you can use Marvel Mystery Oil, MMO. $8,000. is a VERY BIG price for engine rebuild let alone repair. Check with H&H flatheads in CA for their prices or Mark Moriarty in NY see the V8 Times for contact info. The original 32 flathead is Very prone to cracks.

That roadster looks very familiar. It may be the one that was restored by Lloyd Riggs in Walnut Creek, California. He's still a member of the Early Ford V-8 Club and is listed in the club's roster.

Paul, I would purchase the 1932 books offered by the V-8 Club of America. They were written by Dave Rehor the '32 expert.

Charlie!
I found the builder of my 32 or he found me.
I was trying to find my way around this site and their was a thing that said messages and their was all the ones that you sent and this one that said I think I mite have built your car.

What a nice man, he is part of the founding club members.
The first president of the club did the upholstery and so on. he told me it took 10 years to find all of the parts to the radio. He told me all about the build and what was done.

When he got the car it was a old hot rod no fenders and some kind of a v8 36 I think so he found a 32 engine. His goal was a perfect 32. He found new old stock.
The only modification to the car is the transmission he did the old trick of zpher gears as you know the old crash box was no fun.
It seems as he wen't ground up to make it stock as it would have been in 32. The block was welded not pined & sleeved to std. as was the crank now we know why the sleeves.

This has been a entrusting project much different from my norm of building hot rods this one is the other way around.

I think it is something I have been working on cars seance I was 12 years old in the 50s. Charlie I am still working on the same cars listening to the same tuns on the radio driving the same cars, my daily driver is a 57 chev stepside. Of coarse is is not completely stock.
I am sure you have the same story as a hole lot of the outer members do. If you don't remember Dick Clark you just weren't their.

Thanks for hearing me ramble. Paul

Paul, was I correct in stating that Lloyd Riggs used to own that car?
