Features 33-34 Ford coupe bodies

I'm sure you've all seen it before but here's mine as it appeared when I got it to Australia from Canada.
Has now been dismantled and transferred to another chassis I had built while searching for a body ( These weren't available in Australia). Work is progressing with a 5.0L injected Ford and 4 speed auto, 9", www & steelies.

Here's a pic of my coupe from March of '89 after getting it back from an acid dip...

Here it is currently still waiting for paint...

 

This thread inspired me to buy this old stock car and try to save it. It needs everything, but it is a 34 coupe! Plans are stock frame, 40 rear, unsplit bones, drop axle, 39 trans, motor...have not decided. Does anyone have the tips of the quarters or some roof pieces?

 

Holy shit. What a transformation. The talent on the HAMB is astounding.

 

you should drive it to see your friendly neighbors, buddy.

 

About Fuckin time... haha

 

Looks like cdansie's coupe and gearhead's coupes need to trade hood sides - both have the wrong year hood sides but if they swapped, cdansies would be all '33 and gearhead's all '34.

 

34 roadster

 

Rosa, what did the roadster body look like when you started? It looks great now, but we would like to see what you brought home way back when.

Here is another shot of my 33 five window, one of the body I dragged home, and the way it looks today - still a long way to go, but it is getting there.

 

i just grew up around this and i come to realize im alittle obsessed like my dad,those are his cars,last christmas i made at staples (it was only 9.99) a 12 month calender of all his cars hes done,i guess that roadster was beyond a mess when he started it,just recently he started taking pics thru out the building processes,there usually sooo bad i think he didnt want to remeber all the work done,i mean he know but no pics,he got rid of that one prob bout 5-6yrs ago,i just thought it was a good pic to add-he still has 32,33,34 fords-im kinda glad i found this site anyway thought my dad was the only crazy one bringin cars back ,i think he cant believe how obsessed i am with the cars now

 

A couple shots of the one built of all spare parts by Rudy Rodriguez and Paul Hoffman a couple years back... It even had mechanical brakes!

 

wow, that thing was hammered when you got it... I suppose you hammered it again... Looks like a great effort.

 

Here's mine

 

Here's the push bar that was on it, I had to remove it to put in a gas tank, I wish I hadn't, I still have it though.

 

Any more pictures of this one?

 

Here's what I started with.
Lot's of "Lace" around the bottom of the body, cowl vent and top, so I used all of the available patch panels.
I hit a lot of swap meets to find all of the other pieces, and in some cases I didn't even know what I was looking for.
It was a fun build and turned out nice, I have over 95,000 miles on it now.

very talented.......................33cabrio

 

managed to find a few pics of the car around the time when he started it,the doors were welded shut,i forget the paper at house but it was part a car that in 1959 in some car club,from mass.. a few post ago i posted better pics of how it looked done--car club in 1959 was the "push rods"

 

Update on mine: Received my SAR 1/4 panels, subrails and panels below the decklid, innner and outer....fired the motor and it's a keeper! Made a decision to use a T-5 behind the flathead and got the Speedway adapter and an old camaro T-5 and the speedway open drive conversion kit for the 40 rear axle....now, if I'd get my ass of this damn computer and get in the garage I might actually get some of the parts installed!

 

Man I love this thread.

 

Very nice fit on the doors and hood to grill, a lot of time just in that

 

Nads, whats the story that goes with this car? those quarters scream lakes to me.

 

This is my coupe body after eight months work. Alot of metal work and hammerwelding. But its findley over.

 

lotta amazin' saves... the skill level here never stops amazing me

 

Yea gotta want'em bad!

Rosa, thanks for the early pics of the roadster, they look great! Oh to find one like that today.

Flathead 34 - very nice job saving your 3 window. What is the story on the floor panels - who makes them?

Hemideuce - how about some early shots of your 3 window?

 

Heres mine! Unfortunately I must part with it! Too many cars

 

great thread keep it going.
