Dave Turner's 1932 Ford
(click the image to go back)
Norman Veber displayed the new reassembled car for the
first time at the September MAMA meeting. We were delighted
to once again set eyes upon the model's smoothed and taper-sectioned
body and it's widened fenders.We could once again marvel
at it's operational front and rear suspension. The builder,
Dave Turner, was a machinist who viewed the model as a
way to apply his technical skills to his hobby. The rear
axle is a modified Big Deuce quick-change that now accepts
bolt-on rear cover and axle tubes. Dave machined the dropped
I-beam front axle from a single aluminum billet. Tires
from a Monogram Golden-T kit are wrapped around Dave's
one-piece machined aluminum
wheels, which are mounted to scratchbuilt cross-drilled
aluminum brake rotors. Machined aluminum calipers and
hubs complete the disc brake assemblies.
The highly modified body (wedge section and widened fenders)
is coated with Zynolyte
Bright Red paint.
