Howdy,32confederate(mike),Thanks for that,will be hotrod just want to get the little things right!LHD/RHD Build etc.Until i started looking on this chat room,it was LHD that looks like changing now.CHEERS Barry

Thanks Chipper,That's the confusion,i dont know if 2dr sedan is different than coach,or people the same car 2 names? CHEERS Barry.

There wasn't a "2 door sedan" in 1932.....the model was called a "Coach". If you have a coach the Job Number on the cowl tag should be 32551.

Thanks JYD, Thats very helpful.CHEERS Barry

Howdy JYD are there any hot rodders in club,im rodding mine but noticed most of you guys over there take off all the cool stuff,bonnet&louvres, rad cap,light bar.etc.you guys seem to restore to original.i want that 32 front look widened.CHEERS Barry

Hi Barry!

There are a few street rodders in our club but the VCCA is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of original vehicles. If you are going to street rod your '32 you might want to visit some street rod sites since they can help you better with your questions regarding modifying your 1932 Chevrolet.

Good luck!

Howdy JYD,Thanks for that advice,do mind if I still pick ya brains,even though its a s/rod,I still want a lot of real 32 parts,look&style,I'm also addicted to knowing as much about every chev I own!CHEERS Bàrry

Hi,
I have an original 1932 repair manual from Oshawa General Motors in my collection. Not willing to loan but will sell. Not cheap. If interested send me a private message.

Hey Barry!

Sure, hang around this site and ask questions and we will be glad to help you. Not a problem. You may, however, might need to check out some street rod sites from time to time if you have some specific questions regarding modifications to your 1932 that we might not be able to answer.

Howdy JYD,I've learning heaps off this site already.I just wish my other cars were as easy to do and buy parts as my 57!So much to learn.CHEERS Barry

Great! Glad that you are enjoying the site!

I've completed most of a restoration of a '31 Canadian built 2 door Coach, and while '31 and '32 cars are very similar, unfortunately very little is easily interchangeable. this was a time period when maunfacturers were retooling virtually everything from one year to the next, engines ('31 has updraft carb, '32 downdraft), transmissions ('32 first year for freewheeling mechanism), body ('32 first year for inside sun visors, adjustable doors on hood, newer style rad shell, 2 door hinges instead of 3 in '31) wheels size different, etc etc. So when or if you need parts, be prepared to hunt for specific 1932 pieces. Good luck.

Looking for parts. I'm new not sure what to do here. I have a 32 chevy 2dr sedan need hardware for spare tire mount on fender.
Can you help?
