Features 33-34 Ford coupe bodies

Doesn't Don Smart or someone make door tops so that you can convert tudor doors to a 3W?

 

I'm not sure. I was told that the tudor doors have a little different shape. Not as much bow, or flatter then the three window doors. I'm no expert on 33-34's so I honestly don't know.

 

By my count we are now at 102 old coupe bodies posted with pics on this thread. There must be hundreds more still out there. so don't give up if you want one - keep looking!

 

Hey steve,you have an extra lower grille apron for a 34? I want a stocker.

 

Don't know if you guys saw but I posted these on the event coverage. Got these at the Titusville Fl auction last weekend can't wait for them to arrive. Super nice family sorry for their loss of Bob!

 

Someone posted pics of them. I didn't know for sure who got them but glad it was a Hamber so we won't loose track of them. So, between you and Steve (SScoupe) you'all have a pretty good pile of coupe bodies. I hope to sell/trade my cabrio this year for a coupe. Tim

 

34ford5w - what an incredible buy! When you get them home, please take more pics and tell us their story. Congrats on the find!

 

My half 5w 33 body... Need much parts!

 

Recently picked up this turd.

 

51farmtruck - now that is my idea of a trailer load! Nice score - all the patch panels to rebuild that coupe body are readily available. That extra cowl is just a bonus. Tell us the story behind this find, it's what we dream about.

 

Thought I'd show what a 1934 5 window coupe can get ya! Went all the way to AZ. and traded this 5 window for the 1934 Cabriolet! Had a lot of fun the people you meet here on the hamb are great!

 

Notice the pics snowing in Co. Sunny in AZ! Lol! Gotta travel for the cars it's a sickness!

 

34ford5w - you are living the dream! Nice collection of Model 40's - what are the plans for the three windows?

 

Soon as they get here the blue hooded 34 will go right in the garage and will try to get it started. It has juice brakes already so get them working. Then I have a Columbia rear ready to go. Hope to have it up and going in a month or so. Bonneville for sure!

 

The 34 frame that is shown in posts 483 and 485 of this thread now looks like this - the original rails needed some work, so I used a set of ASC rails I had along with the original x member, trans, front and rear cross members. It is all bolted together for mock up purposes, when the time comes I would like to rivet all these pieces together, just like Henry did at the factory.

 

Looks good got a new build tread on 34 3 window from Titusville

 

34 from Titusville

 

Very nice find, look forward to following the build thread.

 

I'm also building a '34 5 window, that I tried to buy for 25 years! By the time I was able to buy it, the Floors were gone, and it needed "A lot"! Since then, the old fellow I bought it from, passed away ( last October). He had another really nice Coupe that was covered with a Tarp!! I got Lucky! His wife called me, and I've got it also!! I don't know how (yet!) to post photos here, but I have some photos on Instagram, hurtdogshotrods. Check it out, tell me what you think!!

 

Looks like I may have another '34 5W body/frame coming soon as well - fingers crossed!!

Steve

 

Retro61 - it is not hard to post pics on this new version of the Hamb - we would like to see those coupes of yours - yes, you got lucky! Two coupes from the same place, doesn't get bette3r than that!

 

Post pics here when you get that coupe - I got a 34 5 window recently that came out of northern Alberta - I don't know how you guys missed it.

 

I wasn't really looking - I'm actually REALLY wanting a 3W but not in the cards for right now, unless someone wants a '32 Tudor project or a '34 5W project bad enough to trade straight across!

Steve

 

love this thread! nice frame ss34coupe! Im having trouble finding a good original chassis for my build

 

Thanks, 31pickemup. There are still lots of original frames around, so keep looking and you will find one. They are advertised here every now and again.

 

I look everyday, I've found a few but they are a bit too pitted for my liking or have had the rivets taken out of the crossmembers. I'm building a highboy so I'm being picky on the frame

 

My wife calls this car porn lol.......I knew I was in trouble when I looked up and it said 386 more pages

Wow! quite the emotional roller coaster actually to see cars come up for sale that you know are long gone, hearing about the outrageous prices and feeling kicked in the nuts knowing you'll never afford them just when you feel low enough to walk under a snakes belly with a tophat on you start seeing cars built out of peices of scrap literally rising from the ashes and it starts to restore your faith and you think maybe you can .....but then you see a piece of swiss cheese selling for $22,500. and youre back lower than whale shit.....

 

Thanks for the comments, Nailhead A-V8. This thread began 7.5 years ago, and the idea was to see if there were other coupes out there like mine where the build started with very rough bodies. So far we have come up with over a hundred 33-34 Ford coupe bodies posted on the thread - most requiring a ton of work to rebuild. The scarcity of these bodies has driven the price up, and finding good condition originals that have never been touched is very rare - if you do, expect to pay a big sum of money to put it in your garage. Coupe bodies can be built from parts, or from four door sedans - as we have seen on a number of threads here. They are still out there, and I know we can find more to post on here, so keep looking.

 

Looks great. I thought about doing that with my ASC rails but I could never locate the original stuff in good shape.
Hard to tell that isn't an original chassis. Nice work.

 

Hey guys they are still out there! I just got this home yesterday night. Turn and burn again with the ol Cummins. It's a really nice 33 unmolested body with a couple patches that have been started original black paint still came out of CA good car. Got hood and grill to. Started project someone lost interest in mustang II front 8" with parallel leafs out back.
