Ya'll are killing me. My first car was a 70 Chevelle SS 396/350hp. Had it for 15years finally swaped in a 454. Sold it in 2000 to pay for the birth of my son. Thought I would by another one later. I can't seem to catch up with the rising cost. Still have old parts from it laying around that I never got rid of. Also owned 69SS/RS, 68SS/RS, and a 65 Goat. I've been working on a guy for 2yrs. now that has a 65 goat that has been sitting since 73. I hope to wear him down some day and bring it home.

Welcome Murray and nice car.  Main thing we need to do in your shop is to trade that refrigerator for a cool looking soda machine.

Thanks all!  I was not sure where to do an intro so I posted one in the  post 60's section,  I have a Vendo 90 that I have started to restore.   I will and try to post some new pics once I have her all cleaned up! Once the weather up here gets warmer I plan on painting it,  and then find some stickers for it.  In the mean time I'll keep on workin on the inside.

Murman,

It started with an old gas pump.  Then I moved on to soda machines.  I dabbled a little with old Stoner candy machines.  Now, I am looking for an old "deuce" to restore.  I know 32s are hard to come by but I am looking.  Love your 28.  It looks like a candy apple red pint job.  Awesome!!!!

Thanks.... its burgandy gold flake... a little hard to tell buy the picture.  As for a 32 you can get glass bodies now.  There are a few originals up here if you are real serious, I can hook you up if you wish!  Murray

Murray:
I will save my pennies and wait for the real thing.  I love the restoration process.  I like to imagine the history of what I am restoring and look forward to finding something that needs a little TLC.  If you see anything  like a 31,32,33 (not the Vicky) I would love to hear from you.  Keep me posted.  I figure if I get into restoring old cars with the same passion I have in restoring old stuff from the fifties, I may need a divorce attorney.

A buddy of mine was working on his 32 for over 15 years. Finally with his body ship business taking off he couldn't afford the time in doing the finishing touches. He had Dave Alan finish it. Dave wouldn't do it unless he started from scratch. It has won one the top 5 street rods in the country at Goodguys in 2004 and many many numerous awards as well. It has been in Rodders Journal (cover on newsstand and feature), Number twenty seven
Street and Custom Rodding Illustrated Magazine, Annual 2005
Street Rodder Magazine, January 2005
This is one of the most beautiful 32s I have ever seen. You owners of these classics are lucky!! Murman yours is absolutely stunning!
