The 1932 body shell is stamped from new metal, and welded and assembled with state-of-the-art fixtures.
The latest offering just out at Ford Component Sales is a 1932 Ford 5-Window Coupe body made by United Pacific Industries. Builders can buy classic V8 powertrains, or contact Ford Racing for a variety of crate motor options.
The 1932 coupe represents one of the biggest auto trends of post-World War II – modifying vehicles and then cruising to the hamburger stands. Original pre-war Ford bodies are now rare and expensive if you can find one.
“With the 1932 Ford 5-Window Coupe body shell, you can literally build a classic-looking hot rod, ordering Ford restoration parts right from your computer, and avoid visiting a wrecking yard,” says Dennis Mondrach, Ford Component Sales. “The coupe body shell joins our growing list of ready-to-build stamped steel body shells, including classic 1965-70 Mustangs and the 1940 Ford Coupe.”
The Ford restoration parts licensing program now offers more than 9,000 parts, for vehicles from 1909 to the mid-2000s. Whenever possible, Ford uses the original tooling to make the reproduction parts; in some cases, if tooling is no longer available, new tooling is designed to the original specifications.
The 1932 body shell is stamped from new metal, and welded and assembled with state-of-the-art fixtures to maintain dimensional integrity. The finished body receives a rust-preventative coating for additional protection.
