Projects A 1933 Ford 5w coupe from a 4 door sedan...

Love this. Nice job Sir

 

Got it

 

incredible good Job Respect!

 

The coupe is looking good and the brakes look great!

 

Seeing is believing....excellent work. HRP

 

Roof looks great man!

 

31Vicky..Stay tuned for the garnish mouldings!

Thanks 32SEDAN!

Thank you ingo

Glad you like!Got a set of Buicks for the rear too,just need another set of F2 backing plates

You're too kind HRP!

Thanks brother!

 

Snow is thawing out here in the east and time to get more stuff done! I was going to drop an axle for this ol' heap and even began building a jig to perform the work but found an Okie Joe axle which will work out nicely.I'm just mocking this up and plan to drill it later.. I reversed the main spring and dearched the longer leafs to get a little more drop.Will have to wait until I get the motor/trans in it to see where the ride height will fall before I do anymore spring modification. I reamed the steering arms to move the tie rod on top for wishbone clearance.I love the look of the old Houdaille shocks so they're staying even though F1 mounts and tube shocks might be more correct. Buick brakes look racy!

 

I agree, those shocks look great!

 

Dang. that is really looking good! Ditto on the brakes.

 

Just went thru the hole thread, amazing skills, great looking car. Can't wait for more!

 

I just dig the "mechanical" look of Houdailles with the swing arms attached to the perches,just plain cool!

Thanks Pumpman!

Thank you Gdcast! Its starting to look like something!

 

Nice day today so I bolted the rear in and rolled it outside to get a better look. OOFAH!

 

You nailed the profile ! I love it! Great work. I'm inspired.

 

Awesome !!!!
Idk about you but Them first 50' glimpses really do something for the soul who's been toiling so hard.

That's one to be proud of

 

I really like the stance! It is looking great! Any idea on a color choice yet?

 

Thanks koolkat! Papa is proud of the way she's looking so far.

Amen to that,brother! Until you roll it outside and stand back you really can't "see" it. It does get the juices flowing again to see her as a whole and realize how far its come.To be honest, I've surprised myself as I had some doubts whether or not I could get it this far!

Thanks 51hudson! I really havent thought about a color for it. However,If I get it to paint,its gonna be black.For now,because I have so much to do,it will probably be primered red oxide or black.

 

right on!

 

SWEET!

 

Well, My brother from another mother,
I know exactly what that feels like too. sometimes we don't know what we can do as long as we haven't heard otherwise

 

I've been along for the ride this far sitting in my barcolounger while you have been busting your ass, sipping on my morning coffee, watching and marveling at your progress. Truly something to be very proud of. Great job man!!!!

 

you nailed the stance and the chop. man that looks awesome! there is a 4 door up to the axles near my house. i hafta go get it after seeing this thread

 

Mighty fine work! You should be proud of what you have accomplished.

 

All I can say is "Wow". You nailed it.

 

Damn! This sure is coming along nicely! Perfect stance

 

Wowed as well! Looks great!

 

Fantastic!

 

Looks great man!

 

Keep up the good work!

 

Awesome, you made quick work of that. Hope to see it in person at this years Race of Gentlemen.
