    Back the late 70's I had a Manfre on my 56 Chevy...my friends worked on the AG cars up in Santa Rosa. Still have my 56, left Santa Rosa and retired in Las Vegas.
    Got it back on the road after 13 years apart... It had a small part in "Peggy Sue Got Married".
    Swapped the 283" for a 69 L-78 BBC, six speed and 12 posi with ancient ladder bars. Original Santa Rosa Pacific Bell 150 utility sedan...still has no back seat..

      I know it's not a 32 ford coupe, but I built a 1968 Toyota Corona 4 door. The little canary yellow deuce coupe inspired me to get that look.
      I even had it painted that color put my own twist to it put a set of Appleton spot lights with white wall tires with the stock hub caps with 3 prong knock offs on the caps. I put a shorten 51 Buick grill with 4 chrome bumber guards on the front bumber of of a older BMW. I took it to many car shows in California got a lot of thumbs up. The car was excellent on gas at the time gas was $1.10 a gallon. This was in 1989 pretty simple car the Japanese made the engine after a straight 6 cylinder but it was a 4 cylinder if I was a welder and fabacater back then I would have doe a lot more fabrication work to really look like a 32 ford coupe could have done something with the whole front end and put some fabricated back fenders off a VW to put wider tires on the back with the thin tires in the front.
      This is when kidsor teenager's young adults were building mini truck seen, I built a mini old style Toyota Corona I still own own to this day my father left me his car when he past away. It's exactly the same year and look but it's in way better condition then when I bought mine for $100.00 it was a parts car I told my Pop's I was going to build that car I don't think he thought I was going to build a mild custom car and one of the best car that he has ever owned Pops used to buy them not running for $50-100.00 then get them running a fast paint job and sell them for some extra money he would sell them for $800-1,200.
      What I'm trying to get at it doesn't have to be a 32 duce coupe you can build any old car and make it look cool. When I built my first one I had to move on to another project.

It was a near perfect replica and was signed by a lot of the American Graffiti stars as well. Pete said he'd cut me some slack but even at 50K it was still more than I could ever afford. So whoever got it had some coin to spend. Did you finish the little 32 you were working on. I was watching for quite some time and then you seemed to drop off my video feeds when Google+ and UA-cam were merging. It sure looked good the last time I saw it.

    It's pretty damn close but Mario "Milner" Calabrese has one closer. Hell, he built the exact engine and in 500 miles it washed the rings from too much induction.
    I saw in the comments you said you built this car based on specs posted online about the real car.
    I'm just dying to know what engine you're running. Everybody thinks the movie car has a 327 but, it's not and I know that for a fact. I'm friends with the guy who took pictures of the whole car and actually made the effort to run the casting numbers on the block.
    Your motor sounds healthy but, you're running a much milder cam profile. I can hear it. Also, your motor doesn't have a fucking hole in cylinder 3 leaking coolant into it like the movie car did when it was filmed.
    You have a nice car, man. I'm jealous. You got the T-10 in there and the 57 chev rear axle? I know the trans and rear axle came out of a 57. Axle wasn't narrowed. I like that look. Plus, sadly, it's an open diff.
    #OneTireFire
    #OneWheeledWonder
    Also, not to talk shit but, whomever did your body work didn't get it right after they cut the top. Not trying to be a dick but them A-pillars just don't look right. Could just be that it's almost 2am RN but, I swear they're off.
    I would love to have this car. Wouldn't take much to make it perfect.
    Fix the radiator support rods
    Get a more violent cam
    Raise compression just because
    Get the right headers
    Gut the interior for the mess in the movie car
    Correct shade of yellow
    Etcetera etcetera etcetera.
    There's only three main problems with the original movie car:
    It was a piece of shit when the guy built it. That's just a fact
    Them Rochester 2G carbs are 250cfm each. That's a total of 1,000cfm going into (I'm still testing to see if you know the correct engine), which is just way way way too much fuel.
    Finally, the worst problem about the real car is that it would cost you well over a hundred and a half just in parts to clone it EXACTLY how it was in the movie, and it was only a cobbled together junker
    If I got a hold of the real car, I would go through it with a fine tooth comb and fix everything on it. Start with a new block machined to much more cubic inches to hopefully help it manage that excessive fuel.

      no the originals back in fifties that they hot rodded in the fifties probably had flatheads in them. do t have anything against a chevy small block but the Ford small block is just as good and fast as a chevy, no need to put a chevy in a Ford.

      Flatheads were the engine of choice up until 1953 or so, as that’s when the Chrysler Hemi was introduced. Then, Chevy introduced the 283 small block in 1955. The OHV engines produced more horsepower than the flatheads, so guys started replacing their flatheads with Hemis, Small block Chevys, Oldsmobiles, and Ford Y Blocks, etc. The Chevy small blocks were pretty much the exact same size and weight as the Ford Flathead, and they were cheap to buy and easy to work on and hop up for more horsepower. Hence, their popularity grew over time. However, back in the fifties and sixties there was a bigger variety of OHV engines seen in hot rods (Hemis, Oldsmobiles, Ford Y blocks and big blocks, Ardun converted flatheads, etc) than one sees today. The small block Chevy is a good engine, no doubt. But they are like belly buttons…everyone has one. 😊😊

      I couldn't disagree more. I hate when it's just the tires exposed. The rear fenders are chopped and makes it look like a hot rod. Badass.
