on to achieve that look. The headlight bar is dropped, the grille has been filled, the four-piece hood was retained now with hot rod louvers, the cowl filled, the roof filled, it’s chopped 3 inches, the windshield is flush mounted, Swan mirrors were installed, and the spare tire was removed. Everything was then delivered to Jim Sullivan of Drop-it Conversions who laid down the custom mixed PPG Orange over a white base (base makes all the difference). Harvey filled the interior with Vintage Air, Bowen Fabrics seats, Memphis Stereo, Stewart Warner gauges, an IDIDIT column topped with a Banjo wheel, Juliano seatbelts, and Ron Francis wiring. Jerry Mann Interiors stitched Finesse
Mustard leather and laid down the tan German square-weave carpeting. As an addition to his desire to build one last ride, he mentioned that every project seems to get harder and harder now that he’s older. As we all know, everything seems to get harder and harder the older we get, but we have learned that doing it right is the only way to do it. So maybe it’s not actually that much harder, but we are doing a much better job. Doing it right the first time always takes longer and is usually harder to do but even though Harvey says this is his last car, with all the accolades and smiles he gets driving his ’32 it makes me think he may have a new gig in retirement.
