Thats just me.

 

...oh...for the love of chryslers...these old cars WANT to be driven. They really don't care what is done to them...they just want to feel young again.

do it , Danny...make it better.

 

I think that is great starting point. I just can't wait till I am wealthy enough to start with stuff like this. Keep us posted with pics.

 

Hell yeah! Cut her up and make it a hot rod! Let'em whine! I know you folks will turn out a damn nice car. Can't wait to see the progress pics.

 

I see both sides but with the talent of these guys you could start with a hell of a lot less and end up with the same results. Salvage one and preserve another. Oh well, I'm sure he could bolt it all back together if he ever wants to drive a ill handling, underpowered antique.

I'm such a fence-sitter.

 

I say do it. It's not as though you're going to hack it up like some builds on here. You're just bringing it into the 21st century.......Mike

 

I thought the last line was gonna be... "and some 20 inch billet rollers". Glad I was wrong. Keep us updated it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

 

What a shame......

 

one less sweet looking 34 roadster in the world. we should all be in mourning for this incredible loss.

 

Shit, don't we all???

I just want to have the "scrap" pile for my next project.

 

it must be nice to have the owners wallet...but if you have that wallet, why would you pick sbf? that's beyond me..

 

Sell off all the unwanted weight........install engine 12''+ back into the firewall, build killer frame as you always do.........and it will be reborn into what it should have been all along a...HotRod.....I would love to cut it myself.............Have fun with it, Littleman......purist restore them so one day I can cut them up.

 

If all thoes junk parts you took off are out back by the dumpster let me know i will stop by and save the trash man a trip. i'm just trying to be green and save the land fills.

OC.Fab

P.S.
I think it will be one bad ass car when you finish.

 

I'm feeling a bit queasy, think I'll go lay down for a bit.

 

I see both sides of save it and cut it. We all have our own ideas and what we would like but we can't own em all

VIOLATE the shit out of it! Do it. This could turn out to be some real art in short order.

 

Can you say piss brain?

 

I guess that's what make's the world go 'round..
The one and only thing that make's it easier for me to grasp is that the ride's i've seen you post on here you've built are super nice, so i honestly feel that this one will be no different.
Certainly not something i'd consider doing to it though, to me it's plain stupid, but it's also not one i could ever afford to own anyway so my opinion don't mean shit either way.

Awesome, Same thing would have happend back then too. Atleast itaint gettin a Mustang II

 

Why not just call Brookville, and save this great car for a more traditional build? It's a shame

 

Great start for what your doing....doesn't really matter what people on here think......keep us posted. The people that will enjoy it.....well.....they'll enjoy it. The haters......well......they will hate!

Best of luck on your build.

couldn't he have just sold it and bought a steel repo body from SAR? I know the customer is always right, but this is tough to watch. I know you guys will do a top notch car no matter what you start with.

 

You know....if I didn't have to stuff around repairing every panel of a butchered old race car just to be able to build the roadster I want to, I'd be a hell of a lot further along to DRIVING my car than where it is now......what you've got there is FREEDOM.

Good luck.

 

hahaha seriously, why ruin this car and build another street rod

 

perfect!

 

You lost me with the 3''exhaust.

 

574 hp.that's why.and it looks cool snaking its way through the frame.

-danny

 

the only changes we are doing to the body is part of the firewall and floor.

there is no way that i would build this car from a glass body.

-danny

 

he wanted the "ford in a ford" concept.

-danny

 

Only in Texas....

 

Give the customer what he wants, he pays the bills..................
then take the frame, flatty, etc. and make us proud!
