Greg & Anita Thomsen have built yet another '32 Ford, this time a Tudor. The internet is a constant source of hot rod material - Greg sourced the body from a friendly Arizonian after spotting it on a web site, in 2004. Greg then had it shipped down under, where the fun began. First, Warren Wilkie of the Toowoomba Rod Shop hammered out the rough edges, and there were quite a few, considering it was an Arizona car. At the same time, Darren Silich put the chassis together, using all the best components; Darren also manufactured the full stainless steel exhaust. | ||||||||
 After fabrication of the chassis by Darren Silich the roller had the final fit-up & assembly by both Greg & old mate Darryl Kuhnemann - in whose workshop we see the frame here, some months back.

Darryl Kuhnemman had a hand in the production too, and it was at Darren's shop where the painted body was introduced to the rolling chassis. The paint is a colour found on Volvo trucks, called Burnt Ochre, and was applied by Ashley Sokel in Toowoomba. The column shifter is from an XY Falcon, and the gauges are Stewart Warner Wings. The air con came from Vintage Air. Most exterior dress up items have been supplied by Oz Rods A feature of the build was the trailering of various parts all over the area, from Tintenbar to Maroochydore, and Toowoomba to Redland Bay. Now the sedan is on the road, where it was intended to be.  The wheels seen here are 15" x 5", and 15" x 8" Halibrands, but Greg also has a set of American Tork-Thrust Ds for those days when Halibrands just won't cut it.  The Burnt Ochre colour is the same as Greg had on his last deuce, a roadster that we featured a while back.  Resting here in quiet repose, this deuce is built for running.
