gossjh Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I have decided to remove the under the cowl gas tank in a model 32 for cleaning. I have the center control rods out, the strap fasteners both on inside of dash and fire wall. Looks like mag and steering column need removed. Any hints on how to not make extra work for my self, as I procede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 If you belong to the Hupp club, there is a technical advisor on the Model 32 that could help with removing the gas tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gossjh Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 All, my tech advisor recommended leaving the mag alone as getting it back in phase might be a bit difficult. He let me know that the steering column does need to come out . Then the cowl body section has four bolts and with other linkage disassembly , it could be removed and the tank removed. I chose to clean in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 How about a Pic of your 32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gossjh Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Unfortunately, due to storage situation, good images will not be available for quite some time. I will strive to remember to get it done. Edited February 6, 2019 by gossjh (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hupp36 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Great car, thank you for taking the time to show us this fine car. As for the door latch pulls, maybe you could have them made on a lathe in a machine shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the latch pulls: If they do not show up at Chickasha, I have already talked to Mel Draper about posibly casting them, using my best original as a pattern.

Hupp36 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Hope you find some, but If you do have some cast, there are some members in the Hupp Club with Model 32's that may also need some. You could place an add in the Hupp Parts Locator if you do end up casting them and could recoup some of your cost . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
