Features 33-34 Ford coupe bodies

This project started with a passenger door. Cowl and most of the roof are from a four door sedan. Took a few years to get all the parts - the hardest to find were the five window B pillars. Slowly but surely it will come together.

 

Here's one I've had for a while and finally had time to put it together. Collected parts from several HAMB ers!

 

She Gone!

 

Those look like great bodies. Would fix them without hesitation. And I'm not a body man.

 

It took a lot of work but both ended up as finished hot rods. The point of this thread is to get those 33-34 Ford coupe bodies out of hiding and back on the road. So if you have a coupe body sitting in the barn or basement, get on it! Let's see some pics.

 

Another 34 five window coupe showed up in my garage this spring - now have two coupe projects to keep me going. Retiring soon so will have more time to spend in the garage. The pic shows the body shell - yes needs a floor. Came with a lot of other parts and I have since acquired a floor from the remains of a four door sedan.

 

Thats a nice one. Did she come with doors?

-Abone.

 

yes came with doors, trunk lid, fenders, running boards, hood and a lot of other parts.

 

So...they're still out there !

 

A little before and after on my 34

 

Here is another under construction 34 coupe that I came across recently. It had a previous life as a chopped hotrod but is being returned back to stock height by the current owner.

 

Thought I would update my pics. Also this puts this great thread back on the radar.

 

I know this is a 33-34 thread but I’ve been building a 30-31 model a coupe. After I get that done I’d love to build a 33-34 ford 5 window with an aggressive chop….. it just sucks now a days they are so far out of reach for a youngster like me to get my hands on

 

Read up on some of the guys converting 4 door sedans into 5 window coupes. Rough 4 door sedans are still available and not too expensive, and if you're good at metalworking, it's not too tough to convert one. It's a route worth exploring if you want to get into a steel body on a tight budget. I did a '33 but sold it before finishing as I found a better '34 body to work with. Honestly, an aggressive chop on a 5W is probably more metalwork than the coupe conversion is.

 

This car was for sale I believe right?

 

Sweet Bonny style chop!

 

Is it just me or does the decklid on the first photo say $150 ?. Is this a recent find or have you had it a while?

 

Done more work on the coupe shown in post 1141 - building the body entirely from parts. Slowly coming together.

 

Working on the rear of the coupe body. F inally got the trunk lid fitted.

 

Even 12 years ago you stole that one!!!!! That was a good deal then, it would be fantastic now.
Congrats on that find!!!!!!!

 

Installing the w/s frame, hinges and winding mechanism in the coupe project. They didn't have a/c back in the day, so the w/s opens up to allow cool air in.

 

Just seen this one listed FB market place.

 

^^ That one's cherry by my standards. What was the price?

 

$16,500 MedFord, Oregon FB for pics

 

Found a 33 that was in a basement since 1984

 

Gave mine a ride height adjustment.
