Cruisin' Around Town with Ronnie Setser

Best of the Best

Jim and Sherry Dulle's 1932 Ford Coupe
This little coupe has been floating around in my head for quite sometime. I knew it was going to take someone special to bring it to life, and when I met John Dubois, owner of Mint Restorations in Clearwater, I knew I had found the right man for the job. John is totally responsible for how well this car turned out.  Along with my ideas and his experience, we were able to accomplish our goal of a high-tech modern 32 Ford Coupe. The Deuce is a Ram-Rod body channeled over a pinched frame.  The rear wheel wells are slightly tubbed.  The drive train is an LS-1/4L60E computer controlled combination that is mostly stock. Suspension is Heidts fully polished independent front and rear.  Intro wheels are wrapped with Nitto tires to give it the right stance.  John did all the work less the interior and painting the flames.  A. J. from Street Seats handled the leather and ultra suede interior and Tony at Soft Touch did the flame work. The interior features Classic American gauges, a Lokar shifter and a Budnik steering wheel.  A Sony Explode Radio/CD player handles the tunes. With about 80 miles on the car, we hit the road for the Goodguys Spring Nationals in Jacksonville.  It ran great all the way over and back, an also ran off with the Host Club Choice award. Many thanks to Ronnie and Kim Setser for the continued commitment and effort put forth in promoting this great hobby we all enjoy.  Thanks also for the recognition of the Best of the Best Award, we will treasure it always.
