In 1932, Ford ruled the depression-ravaged automobile market. Ford cars had a very loyal following, but much of their success in 1932 can be attributed to the introduction of a peppy V-8 engine in a low-priced car. Yet there were other good cars built in 1932. Though Ford and Chevrolet built half the cars sold in 1932, I am partial to the Model PB Plymouth, introduced in April. This blog tells the story of the hot-rodding of a Model PB Sport Roadster -- The Other Deuce.

Back on the Chassis!
And so, in just a few short days, as I was on a well-earned vacation, the body finally made it back onto the chassis. It gets bolted down with shims pretty much matching the shims that were there when we dismantled the car. Then Dan measures clearances on all the panels and doors where they meet, He then removes or adds shims to adjust the body and get everything in alignment. In fact, this is probably way more attention to detail than was originally done at the factory.
