Joe Kugel's 1932 Ford Roadster "MyWay" 

THE UNDERCARRAIGE IS BREATHTAKING!

You beat me to it! Absolutely immaculate!

Would love the see the dad come on. Sounded like Jay wanted to meet him.

In retrospect, it was a wonderful commercial. "And your wife's still talking to ya'?". This isn't exactly a project, it's a business.

OMG! There must be $5K just in ARP 12-point fasteners. BEAUTIFUL!!!

I thought the engineering was spot on or just right for the car.

Kugel has been around forever...Í remember seeing articles along with full page adds back in Hot Rod, Car Craft etc. for their Jag suspension retrofit to everything ....nice to here his dad is still engaged and doing well!

@@donnajones1603 Totally agree. I remember those ads too! And really good to hear the old man is still enjoying the business!

I can’t understand why they didn’t do that at the event, yet pass judgement of “Best engineered” . The proof is in the pudding, and that undercarriage is sweet !

I have a Dearborn Deuce with hideaway convertible soft top, power side windows with doors that are 3.5' longer, including a Heidts IFS with a 9" Ford rear with coil over shocks.

I'm with you! Nice to see him throw it on the lift, remarkable workmanship!

If you have a new chassis and a new body and a new engine are you restoring one or reproducing one? I'm asking not judging.

@@ruk2023-- no we have a couple old classics but a 32 Ford can handle only so much power before its uncontrollable, uncomfortable and scary even if you do the known suspension upgrades but this chassis seems very stiff, strong and handles like a vette really. Any V8 with a decent trans would perform nicely on that chassis. My opinion only.

Its got a Canadian engine block...😮

Exactly. You're complete for about $50K... That's outstanding...

​​@@ruk2023-- It's gotten to the point where it's viewed as a criminal act to take an original car and make it into a hot rod. So real and useable 32 bodies aren't out there like they used to be and original chassis aren't exactly the best for real horsepower. Classic car groups and forums are now starting to take Hollywood producers and directors to task over the destruction of classic cars for the sake of a stunt scene. Directors want a certain look for a scene not realizing they've just removed a surviving classic from the collectors of the world. I guess my wordy point in all of this: over the last 15-20 years, the sentiment to save what's out there, has grown to what it is now. I remember the 80's as a boy, and the practice then was taking really nice original cars and over restoring them. Today, the sentiment is, if it's survivor with faded and bare paint - leave it alone. Clean it up. Fix what needs fixing. Replace the rubber components, and just enjoy an original car as it was built. So it's a great thing that there are companies offering entire frames and bodies so one can build hot rods and customs. Sorry for the TL;DR.

Can't go wrong with a Deuce! There are a lot of amazing examples and this is right up there with the best.

Not chopping it up like that tho eff that.

although i am a die hard chevy guy its nice to see a ford engine in the 32 . why is the block in this build a windsor. just look across the river. both foundry and engine plant located there. worked at GM St. Catharines foundry engine plant complex 34 years now called propulsion plant, guess where thats going.

​@@Jason.cbr1000rrthis is the best thing. No chopping needed. It's great we an start from scratch.

Great build.😊

Not sure if it was editing l, but Jay didn't talk a lot during the drive. You could tell he was really enjoying this car. I bet the car is much more impressive in person and Jay is sort of falling over himself with this car. I've noticed Jay likes craftsmanship and this car is that with subdued styling.

Glad it wasn't another LS

Exactly!

Preach, brother!!! 💙

Scotty Kilmer

Except he's 50 years late learning about the Clevor...

Yes! Exactly!

Funny, because I usually like these without fenders, but THIS ONE looks excellent.

Thought you were going to say likes a Ford with a Ford engine... instead of the 'standard' Chevy option...

In traffic next to that Dodge p/u really gives the dimensional perspective & scale of this stunning build. Perfect in every way, not least the gorgeous hue. Henry'd be proud, or at least stylemaster Edsel would.

Very 2020, I'm afraid it will look very dated after a few years.

The tires are ugly as all hell. That's what ruins it.

@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar And opinions are like (_!_) holes, every one has one!!!! Some are better not seen or heard.....

@@1963-Ford-Galaxie Which one's are typically seen? Who is actively viewing (_!_) holes? The tires ARE ugly as hell, there's no denying that when you compare it to a bias ply tire from the 1930s. One looks like expired gravel design tread and the other has art deco zigzags, ribbon design on the tire wall, and occasionally offers a white wall. Some opinions aren't heard ever because a certain group that loves the past, loves to ruin the past and take away those precious things some people like to treat as vehicles, not projects.

@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar I've read 100 positive comments. You sure do march to a different drum. Good for you. That hot rod sure would handle good on '30s bias plies.

@@moyadapne968 why not, I've seen bias plys handle 100-130 fine depending on the model. I'm just saying you all are so caught up on the Model T and Model A and Ford Model B and Ford V8 that you never see anything in the era, only in the hotrod image. You're missing everything, every fantastic 1920s sedan design, every company, every stylized model only the crem-del-la-crem (probably not the right spelling) rich got to view, all the variety and how it all fit into the world around it. Did you know the 1930s was known for its metallic car trend, it was the new thing in the late 1920s. There's also a video I've watched countless times to discover more on everything and its a color home film from 1937. I found a few from 1930-36 but they love showing flowers and their children more than anything else so I don't get very far.

Ford with a Ford engine instead of the standard Chevy option...

Yeah the thing looks shinier underneath. It's crazy how clean it is.

Well, he is an undercarriage manufacturer. Makes mucho sense he'd showw off his products as well as his skills as a builder. It all works hand-in-hand!

That V8 block and iron heads? But the frame and suspension probably built to NASCAR stock car racing standards, so it couldn't be light if it wanted to be. Straight 6 drivetrain probably should have been the direction but there's still V8 junkies out there, obviously. Great work on the project. Just in a 'muscle car' genre.

Hello, how are you doing today?

Ya, thought the same. Sweet and cool effect
