Description:

Hi,
I thought you might be interested in rebuilding this crashed rod that I am selling.
'32 Hi-boy ROADSTER for sale, as is, with damage:
$108K invested to build out in 2013, has only 4, 400 miles just debugged; Titled as '32 Ford Roadster, so no smog, no salvage; all new, top of the line, Brookville, '32 reproduction steel body so all panels can be replaced like a late model car. See the list for the back half of under $5, 270. He paid $11, 500 for raw body+ extras; deck lid has a large soft fixable dent and doors have minor fixable dents. Body and frame needs pulling to spec and then needs RR quarter panel replaced. I can email you the frame and body work bids from a top computer frame and body straightener and finisher that does many hot rods, In-Line Collision in El Cajon. Brookville has the digital layout to send them for frame and body. Brookville quoted $1, 495 for rear quarter with bracing + $95 for deck hardware + $300 for door hinges chromed. . Grill shell is straightened and needs finish body work and the custom aluminum fan shroud is straightened and reconditioned for final polish. $780 Aluminum radiator has minor cosmetic fin rash behind the electric fan but none is visible with no leaks. It has an expert hidden wiring job.
Engine by Big Al's Toy Box www.bigalstoybox.com/turnkey.htm Just like #572 with polished aluminum Weiand BB Chevy water pump, Polished Chevy alternator with chrome bracket and can be viewed on his web site, scroll down the turnkey engines tab on the left; 871 Blower Shop blower, 354 '56 Chrysler Hemi, Chromed and hard SS plumed Holly style QFT blower carbs on the engine, all untouched and fully polished except a few bolts broke on blower belt guard. He paid $18, 500+ without the headers or trans, dynoed at 520 hp+, ARP bolts, Ross pistons; The $8, 000 polished stainless steel, 2 ¼ custom headers have only 2, 3/16 dents hidden behind by radius rods and a few scratches on the bottom. The dents can be removed by a tube benders string of balls drawn back thru. Needs motor plate in front and new motor mounts because the block ears have slotted/ broke bolt holes for the existing motor mounts or easier block ears can be welded up. Hi torque chrome starter. Motor had to be off at first impact because the dent I removed from the horn hitting the flat side of the pan interfered with the crank ass'y but pan was not scratched on the inside. Fuel bowls still had fuel in them so obviously there was no motor damage. Thus he had over $31, 500 + frt. in the motor, trans and headers.
It has a top of the line Sid Chavers Be-Bop Top; www.SidChaverscompany.com black cloth non-chafing rear support that does not require snaps in the body with safety glass rear window that opens $995, it was on the car when rolled I straightened the bows and it needs 1 cloth piece around the window and 2 rods. It disassembles for storage in the rumble seat.
Turbo 400 from Big Al's $3, 000 needs $40 rear tail housing and rear mount to the frame. Has stall converter, short Lokar shifter & E-brake. Beefy drive shaft has a small dent.
'32 Chassis with all Stainless Steel options vs chrome; 9 Ford 31 spline limited slip Currie 5 on 4.5 rear end with polished stainless triangulated 4 bar and Aldin aluminum adjustable coil over shocks. Rear shocks need new rods. I reconditioned and rehung the rear end. 1 front shock needs replaced by Pete and Jake. Chrome Super Bell I-Beam front axle needs slight straightening and re-chrome. Pete and Jake quoted $300 to $350 for straightening and re-chroming here . All steering rods and front axle hair pin radius rods and rear triangulated 4 link are all stainless and are reconditioned but need finial re-polishing. Tubular K member in frame looks great. I checked the frame and from the motor mounts to the rear 4 bar mounts the frame is straight, flat and square. Needs 1 park brake cable.
When it rolled sidewise most all the impacts were to the wheels and axles so the frame bends are all slight without dents or buckles so it should look like new after frame straightening except a 12 section in front of drivers rear wheel at the drop bend; Rear quarter dents are all from the tires thus no weird creases, the stainless fuel tank is in rumble seat tight against the front seat for a functional rumble seat and perfect; front and rear wheels broke; 1 front and 1 rear tire cut; trick billet/leather steering wheel, black leather interior and column and dash cherry; Windshield broke and frame needs a little straightening but good; Grill shell needs a final body work; headlights broke; bronze hinges broke on doors and rumble seat slight body work. The car is finished except frame, paint and body, polishing and purchase items.
