more bits to quit out....and the reasoning...

 need to get rid of all my excess parts...so I can concentrate on the THREE projects I have on the go...so for the deuce tub....let me know if you have a stock pair of windscreen posts and a frame...don't really want to put new bits on this....
 The coupe project is a hit n a miss..time just seems to fritter away this year.....but I am slowly getting this together...
and the other project I want to collect parts for is to make something up with this original 4cyl 32 chassis....maybe the tourer and this chassis might hook up....
 so, back to parts I don't need...have 4 stainless rear 4 bars, two have the bushes, two don't, need to get $200 as is for all four..roughly, 19 1/2" and 22", as shown below..**SOLD**

 here's a new spare Grant wheel...just as it comes, the wheel and the horn cap assy, saw a couple on e bay for nearly $100, but mine is just $75.
 This is an old Moon style tank that has been in the shed for years as garage art...may as well go now, but not unless I get $200 for it now!***SOLD***

 Have a spare fibreglass 32 shell,  I was using this on the coupe, but want to get a 'glass original style one now....so, it has some mounting holes in it, but other than that, it has never been used....$110
 This is a pair of ladder bars that came off an A Model way back when...50" long, use bushes at all ends....think I paid $180 for them, so if I can get that back or close to it...

 twin remote oil filter kit, just the two alloy pieces and  the hoses ...$90
some Ford exhaust gaskets...390, 351C, and 302w..$6 ea., so $18 the lot..
I haven't decided on what transmissions to sell yet, but I do have a spare T400, a T 350, and a Powerglide....just in case you need one of these.....it might force me to make a decision...
same with my lathe....I bought this over two years ago, have never got around to having the 3 phase put on so I can use it....maybe it should go as well, as it takes up valuable space in my workshop...

Saw a few pics on facebook...had to revisit Dale Grau, and his "Deuce Fever"

So..that's Dale on the left, with Charlie Duran...two of my US friends who have the 32 bug...real bad!!
 Dale is as bad as me....giot to let everyone know when the most important # comes up....haha..
 always have to get the right room...
 This message says it all, Doug Mole, John Davies, Glen Watts, Darren Silich...lol
 on it goes........boring...you say...
 Nice touch..someone from aus put this badge on his dash at the LARS last week..
 he drove his topless pickup out there again from Rice,, Minnesota...1/2 way across USA thru all kinds of hot/cold and inbetween..


 Stopped as usual at Winslow..
 adding the "ol Guys" decals along the way....hey, you're almost 70....that's not old..

 A night at the TeePee motel..

 Just about ready to blast off to LA...the wall name says it all..
 rain...who cares!

 it's a sickness...
 back to his fleet...here's his 32 panel..
 Here's one of his more doors..
 Here's the other..
 Here's his Vicky..
 Here's the Model A..it went, as it was not fitting in with the rest of the fleet..
 here's his sedan delivery..
 There's his roadster in the new 32 only parking garage..
 Built a couple of years ago to hold the 32 fleet..
 here's his 3 window..
 This is typical mileage he will do for a week n back rod run..
 Here's his Buick custom..
 Here's his 5 window that he bought at 16...owned it over 50 years now..
 The roadster normally is clean..
 But it does get used hard!

 here's his other roadster pickup..

 here's his hiboy tudor sedan..
 another part of the shop with the tables and chairs and non 32s in the fleet
Dale doing what he loves ..driving the wheels off his cars, no matter what the weather throws up..
 here's his recently acquired tub..
and this is his recently completed B 400 hiboy
 
an all 'round good guy....who just happens to love his 32 Fords.....
