History
This ’32 Ford 5-window coupe is currently owned by Ron Smith, but was originally built by Pete Fritsch, a Queenslander with a history in hot rodding that stretches back to the 1970s.
Pete has sampled the various sub-categories of the rodding world, with a ’23 T-bucket, ’32 Ford roadster and ’34 Chevs amongst his past builds, but this ‘32 coupe is probably the cream of the crop.
Almost a decade in the making, the Ford was the result of everything Pete had learned in his previous builds, and impressively, most of the grunt work was done by Pete himself in the family garage.
That being said, this build was going to be something special, so Pete called on specialists throughout the Queensland and Northern NSW area to ensure he got the best of the best.
