Jack Roberts from Manchester KY, is moving full speed ahead on this '32 Ford 3 window coupe.This buildup began only 3 months ago in December 2001 and Jack hopes to drive it to Knoxville in May to it's first rod run. 


Jack painted the TCI frame in his garage, along with the Ford 8" rear end. Looks like an excellent place to build a Street Rod to me! Well lit and clean.


Here's a shot of the rearend, rear suspension and rear wheels and tires installed. Amazing what they start out as and you end up driving them!


The Chevrolet Corvette LT1 and the L460E trans are installed in the frame rails now and the work continues.


This shot shows the body in the background patiently awaiting the completion of the frame. Looks like the exhaust is on and the shifter is mounted.


Jack tells me that the car is already at Pro Auto in Knoxville where Steve Holcomb is stitching up the red leather interior. Jack is going to send a bunch more pictures that he took as this car went together. This could be a record buildup for a home builder in the short period of time that he has to get it done!


Just got some new pics from Jack. This shot shows the frame completed with the front suspension and wheels and tires installed.


Looks like this chassis is ready for the body. The gas tank is installed also.


Like I said, looks like the body install is about to happen. Stay tuned.


Just got some new pictures from Jack on the progress of the '32. It's starting to look like something now!
