'32 3W coupe update pics... Sculptured Art...

I took my car to Hot Rod Garage in Sand Springs, Okie-homa to get the pedals and steering put into my car 'cause they have an in-house machine shop. I knew what I wanted and even drew the design for the steering setup. But what these guys did just floored me... I gave them free reign to give me something really different and cool, and they went above and beyond the design to sculptured art. I have always been in awe of true crafstman that can take an idea and run with it. Thanks to Jim and Jason Smith and their fab guy Chuck. Schroeder steering box trunion I-beam mounts were CNC milled aluminium.

 

And more...

 

6Grand??? AWWW hell I can build that for $100 with a drill,4"grinder and a sawsall......LOL!!!!!!!! Seriously that is some unreal lookin stuff!!!!! Those guys have their shit together.

 

Those are some beautiful pieces.

 

Fuck I oove the steering boxes... nice !! I love it when your expectations are exceeded like that. Unfortunately its not always that often.

Nasty, sano work man !! I love it !!

Did you guys catch the RPU in Rodder's Digest this issue?? It had a similar setup except the gas pedal pivoted on the shaft on the right. Awsome work, I had never seen a setup quite that cool then today I see yours!! wow, Guess I need to fire up the mill...

 

Hey by the way... do know what the ratio is for that Schroeder box? Mine is 8:1 and is 3/4 turn full left to full right. I am wondering if there is a way to change the gearing on the box.... does anyone know? Maybe I will call schroeder for that one. Looks amazing... I am totally jealous and now I have to do a couple changes to mine thanks. I love the pedals as well... are they all one-offs? Good job man... those guys are real artists for sure.

Big money,,,but jesus it looks great!

Awesome....simply awesome

My first thought was that the box mount looks like an aircraft landing gear. Quick, spray some zink chromate primer on it so they won't make any billit comments! Looks great, thanks for the update and photos!

 

Larry, Looks great man! Keep it up. You have to make it to B-ville next year.

 

Wow, Two compliments in one day, one in a PM about my old sprint car and now this. Thanks

 

Larry your car is looking so cool!

 

Awesome work, I love it. I bought my '32 from those guys. They were very good to deal with. Very cool car you are building.

Doc.

 

You are one Sick man with an even Sicker car Larry

That car is gonna be so cool.

Did I mention how sick you are

 

Very nice detail Larry, It's getting better every time you post pics(but I guess that's what is suposed to happen eh?)

 

3w,

Looks good man I cant wait to see it on the road and thanks for the beers and the waters man they hit the spot.

P.S. What did you end up doing with all the left over beer?

 

There may be lots of machinists that could make the parts from blueprints...to me the design is the most impressive part of the whole deal. Just awesome!

 

That's bitchin Larry.

Did you see the blue 32 roadster of theirs that is in SRM this month? Beautiful.

 

All those parts are bad.....I don't see a one that doesn't have a hole in it.

 

Damn, that is spiffy. It reminds me of all the detail work on Royce's RPU.

Sweet......and thanks for the beer!

 

Looks great, design and execution !!!!! I like holes...holes are good....Littleman

 

So nice craftmanship. Cant wait to see it cruising down te road.

 

thanks for the pics, outstanding work.

 

Boy, that is Art !.....

 

I want some cnc'ed stuff, not sure what, but if it looks like that ill take anything.
Those pieces are very well made. Beautiful workmanship.

You got your moneys worth on all that stuff.

 

You're a goldchainer. But you're a goldchainer with DAMN FINE taste!

Holy crap, I'm still in love with that little coupe. I bet you can't wait to drive it, if you're anything like me you've been spending hours in it making engine and tire noise... lol.


What kinda gauges are you going to run and where you gonna put em?

Danny

 

I'll bet I can guess...

Santa, er I mean Larry, great lookin' stuff you got there and the car ain't bad either. Just kidding 'bout yer stuff - put the knife down!!! Sweet looking steel cheese.

Hey, I wanna know something - Did they deduct anything for the material they DIDN'T use in all them holes? That's what, about $274.03 in scrap, right?

 

That looks real good Larry. That car is way too cool for an SBC Just Kidding. Multiple carbs I hope

 

The clutch and brake pedals are stock from Pete/Jake that have been drilled and countersunk. The pedal pads are from Hot Rod Garage. They custom make them inhouse. They're only about $40 apiece. The gas pedal is a one-off piece they make and goes for around $360. The pedals and column, and column drop will be Nickel plated. The aluminum pieces will remain natural color.
