Projects CONVERTING A 1933 FORD FOUR DOOR SEDAN INTO A 5 WINDOW

more work on the other window to get it flush and ready for a window if I ever decide to put windows in it. I’d love to just do a light weighy carrerra style leather window pull straps.

inside of window all cleaned up.

Getting the inside door panel welded up.
Picked up a 34 grille over the weekend. Also picked up five 1932 18 inch spoked rims and a 33 axle. I’ll run the spokes rims until I find some 18 inch wide fives to put on. With some open drums. That’s if the parts heavens open up and decide to lead me to them.

here is a photo of the car so far. The only thing that’s hard about the new spot I’m in is it is hard to see the car from a distance to get a real good look at it. Thanks for reading! I appreciate all the positive feed back! Definitely gives me motivation!

 

I grind the welds inside too. My bro has a body built by Bobby Walden and you can’t see the welds inside or out. It’s amazing, and I try for that quality with my work.

 

Holy cow dude, you are one badass mofo! I cant even imagine the amount of hours you have into this build so far.

 

Let's see. At $10/hr that's about $200K in labor so far.

 

Haha thanks brother! Too many hours, I definitely didn’t know what I was getting myself into. But I can’t stop now!

 

Honestly though haha. I have so much respect for all these guys out here putting their heart into these rods. So much work.

 

did a little firewall repair today.
Had to take her out in the light to move stuff around. Was nice to get it outside. I don’t think I have a picture with the car so I thought I would snatch one of my dad and I. Thanks for looking!

 

That coupe looks wild!

 

Thanks! Gotta keep the wind resistance down

 

IMO, the main thing that you have is talent and perseverance.

 

Great work, thanks for posting it all up along the way. The weeks you took fitting up the coupe roof before you did one tack weld, those kinks you took out of the roof insert hole, the re re reworking of the chop, the dreading for years and then finally tackling the deck lid fitup - all of that kind of stuff is top shelf. Please be aware that your buying a Fordor instead of a cherry 5w coupe body, your transmogrifying it into a lakes coupe, your bouncing from one space to another are all highly relatable "hard way" steps to your far off goal. Doing difficult things because they are hard is called character. Mad props to you and your heaven sent Pops. Can't express how awesome this is.

 

Awesome work. Thanks for the pics and explanation.

Thanks,

jim

 

I appreciate it man. Trying to keep that end goal in my focus.

 

Paul, your comment breaths life into my sails. From your profile picture I see we share the same passions. Thank you for taking the time following along and supporting me. The hot rod community is amazing. Cheers brother.

 

Anytime Jim, grateful for the support.

 

Tripple AAA rating for mounds of time & effort

 

Thank you! Hopefully I’ve learned some things so the next car won’t take so long,

 

Fabulous! Very nice work young man. I bet your Dad is one proud pop!

 

Much appreciated! Can’t wait for the day he gets to drive it

 

picked up a cool original paint/patina dash. And gauge cluster.
Going around the whole car and patching up all the unnecessary holes.
finished the drivers side garnish molding. Kinda tricky to get fitted just right. Not sure if they are going to even be necessary but I figured I might as well do them if I want to use them.

 

Hot damn look at that thing!

@Austin kays check out that chop!

 

Thanks Tim!

 

Wow! Your work is amazing.

 

Great work.

Thanks,

jim

 

doesn't get any better!! perfection

 

Window garish came out nicely!

 

You guys are awesome, thank you!

 

Yes it was a little more involved than I thought it was going to be but I think it will work good. Thank you!

 

I appreciate it Brady!

 

Thanks Jim! Trying my best!
