    Here are a few pictures of my newest project a 1932 Hot Rod Lincoln V 12 powered. Also for everyone to know this body has been powder coated and not primer paint . Next I will have Pin Up Girls airbrushed on the front 1/4 panel and red with white pin stripping. Possibly another month and it should be done. You can see additional pictures of the car on the H.A.M.B web site under search type in 32 Hot Rod Lincoln you can view pictures as I was putting the car back together or on our website at ( Frenchysrides.com ).

    Thanks
    Frenchy

Frenchy that looks great. I love old Fords along with old VWs. I went to your pre-BOR bbq about 03-04 and I remember that you just had the engine in the garage.

Frenchy, you said that you powder-coated the body and it was coming out real nice but man, what an understatement-it's BEAUTIFUL!

Zach, what the hell are you on? It's a black car... WAKE UP. And, no... I see a black car, so it's not impersonal.

   You guys are funny LOL. Some guy called me a while a go from Chicago after I had posted pictures of it on another site asking if the car was for sale. I told him the wiring needed to be done and a little more detailing and I wasn't interested in selling it yet.

Nooo.... reeeally? Get outta here. No Pro Tip, there. I've been on the Internet, moderated forums, etc. since the early '90s when you were about 10 years young or so. Pretty sure I can read an emoticon fairly well. Thanks, but I got it from here.

Sorry, Frenchy. As to be expected, you've completed another work of art. Enjoy your new creation and document it well, like you always do. Looking very forward to the NSU project, as well.

Hey Frenchy...I wonder if anyone noticed your flathead was a V-12 Lincoln?  Great piece of work, as always.  This is one of the nicest renditions of an original era hot rod I've seen done. Nice work!

I think someone needs to relax a little. It looks good and I like the V12. I`m not too sure about a pin up girl on it though.

     I am happy to report today that after 6 years of working on my 1932 Hot Rod Lincoln project it is done and today was the very first drive out of the garage with the car. Other than a few detail to finish. I had bought the car soon after I had sold my 1954 Cal Looker. Back in 8 / 30 / 2003 bought the 32 as a project I always wanted and today 8 / 30 / 2009 six years to the day I was able to debut the car in the Arizona hot weather. Soon I will have the NSU project in the garage and get started.

    Thanks
