Default My uncle's '32 Ford Hotrod

I was at my parents today for a cuppa when my auntie and uncle turned up in their hotrods. My uncles is a 1932 Ford Model B Drop Top with with a fully detailed 5.0l V8 (approx 380bhp) and my aunites is a Ford Pop running an MG 1.8 4cylinder engine for reliability and economy. My uncles has won loads of trophies and has receipts in excess of £80k!

I'll let the pics do the talking

Is it steel or has he spent ages flatting the gel coat down?

Going by the receipts I'm thinking steel though.

Not sure mate. He bought it restored. I know he said that the front suspension setup alone was 12k!

It might be more. He stopped counting at around there. I know the pics don't do it justice.
