Vehicle Description
This custom 1932 Ford 5-window coupe was built by Dave Crouse's
Custom Auto shop in Loveland, CO. The coupe is powered by a
427/525hp small block Dart engine generating 536 ft/lbs of torque
backed by a TREMEC TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission and a Mark
Williams Ford 9-inch with 4.57 gears, traction-lok, and 31 spline
axles. Maintaining all its original sheet metal except for the
firewall, hood and the addition of a chopped splash apron. Finished
in black two-stage PPG paint covering all of the exterior sheet
metal and single-stage black PPG paint covering everything else.
Alan Johnson put down the striping and the red accents are carried
over on to the grille shell, hood ornament, headlight shells,
trunk, wheels, hubcaps, dashboard and gearshift knob. The coupe's
original frame rails have been boxed and surround a Pete and Jake's
tubular X-member and ladder bar system with coilover shocks. Both
the ladder bars and the driveshaft have safety hoops. Stopping
power is provided by disk brakes in the front with drum brakes in
the rear. The brake line runs inside the boxed frame rails where it
passes the QuickTime SFI certified bell housing. The build also
features 3-inches removed off the top, a 4-inch dropped straight
axle, rubber rake and a dropped exhaust. The Avion Caramel leather
interior features a stock dashboard with custom Classic Instruments
gauges with the tachometer mounted on the steering shaft behind the
Banjo steering wheel. The gauges also include hidden turn signals,
high-beam LED indicators and hidden LED shift lights. The Vintage
Air vents were installed under the dash in their own panel that
includes the air conditioning and heater controls as well as two
12-volt DC outlets for charging the digital toys. A Kenwood marine
KCA-RC107MR wired remote was installed in the header panel above
the front window to control the Kenwood KMR-700U main unit and
Alpine MRX-V60 amplifier hidden behind the seat. Additionally, it
features chopped Kugel sun-visors, a Spartan "ahooga" horn and is
protected by a Viper 5704 alarm system. This custom coupe has 1946
Ford hubcaps with stainless trim rings. Includes engine build spec
sheet and dyno documentation.
