got my new project today a 34 3 window coupe i know i know its fibergl*** but my smile is all the same i also bought a windshield frame tonight and plan on making it where it still swings out and also picked up a cowl vent ***embly and plans for it is to install it and make it function as well also got a steel dash for it and a few other odds and ends i know it will always be a gl*** car but im trying to hide it little by little heres a few pics of it sitting on the frame i know it sits too high in the back and that is the first thing that i plan on addressing and getting fixed but i cant wait to get started on it Thanks Ethan
hey thats cool i understand that but im 19 and wanted a coupe and right now a steel coupe is out of the question so this is my alternative but ill keep ya all posted
good point there i lucked out and already had my steel 34 coupe in the family and i had to cut my model a coupe out of the woods myself. oh im 21 btw so i understand where your coming from. good luck again.
a gl*** car can be still be cool. atleast you wont have rust issues and can focus most of your time and money elsewhere.
Aint nothin wrong with gl***! Every Corvette you see is made of gl***, as well as many many hot rods. Have fun & build yourself a nice rod.
cool car its going to look good. gl*** and steel look the same with paint on them. build it enjoy it and drive the hell out of it
Screw the haters, steel is nice but sometimes gl*** is your only choice. Enjoy your car like it was steel, (I have no idea what that means) Doc.
Most 19 year olds are running around in Hondas........................That's a great car you have. We need more kids interested in this stuff.
My cars gl***. I don't care. Unless something falls in my lap, my next car will be gl***. How close to Sedalia are you? Have fun. Dean
they sure did i have am having just as much fun with this one as i did when i built my 34 pickup i cant wait to get started and get the progress rolling which will be soon!
yeah the chop is killer thats one reason why i went with this body and the fact that it actually had a firewall instead of the flat firewall
As I use to tell everybody about my gl*** 32 roadster,, "It might not be real Henry Ford steel but is sure is real fun" I don't have the roadster anymore and I sure miss it,,,If the right gl*** car comes along in the future I will have another one,,and this is coming from a guy that has 3 steel 32's now! Have fun and build the coupe to make you happy,,and don't worry about anyone else. HRP
Good luck with your build. Fibergl*** is fun to work with.I prefer steel.Im building a gl*** 29. If you need any ideas or some tricks I learned Just Pm me. Doors and decklid fit mostly.
heres an update havent had much time to work on it with school but today i did manage to get the rearend down where it needs to be but now the drive shaft is really really close to the front k memeber so ill have to notch that part and the frame will be done ill keep ya all udated with the progress i made a paper "gas tank" to fill in the void where the tank will go when i can save enough money to order one but its enough to get an idea
WOw, I see flames and "The Missouri Kid" on the door! Looks awesome...keep us posted Fibergl*** vs. steel = rash ointment vs. tet**** shot... Either way, have fun with it!
I know we were all ragging on you about a gl*** car.... but damn. That's a long way from a tupperware street rod. Enough real parts can make it a real hot rod. See, when you get a steel car, it has some soul already in it from what it has experienced.. with this one you get to put all the soul into it! Brian
well done. gl*** is a good start to practice on. if you want a steel body bad enough, one will come along soon enuff. i own a gl*** car and dont care what anyone thinks, its mine!
