Projects 34 Ford coupe barn find

Thanks! When do we get to see more of your 34 three window?

 

Hey nothing wrong with a chopped three window, but I think this barn find coupe will stay stock height.[/QUOTE] I know I just had to say that

 

A pair of 7.50 by 16 inch whitewall bias plys arrived today, so they will go on the rear of the barn find coupe. Have some things to deal with lately that are slowing up progress on this car, but hopefully will get back to it shortly. Then more pics will come.

 

are you back on it yet?.

Have not been in the garage for a few weeks due to an injury, but expect to get back at it next weekend. Man it's not fun when you can't work on your cars!

 

Finally got some more done today, put the hood, grill and headlights on. As well changed over the rear tires from 600's to 750's. Here are some pics, more will follow in the days to come. Thanks to my buddy Dale - Micamountain is his Hamb name - for helping me today!

 

Has Dale moved away from Tete Jaune? Such an awesome start to an even more awesome finished car?

 

Dale spends time down here every spring, he still lives up in ranching country.
He has quite the collection of vintage tin.

 

cool.

We're going to need more chairs....

 

Baron - you got that right! I could look at this coupe for hours!

 

Good for you!!! Too many cars are being screwed-up by some dude with a hacksaw. Henry got it right at the factory! ...just my.$.02.

...sent from my Droid device in the back seat of a Greyhound bus, ...rolling down highway 41.

 

Don't beat Steve up for his progress -He's done more in six months than I did on it since 1974!! Now you want to talk about slow-talk to me! Den

 

Dennis - you did a great job of keeping this coupe from being destroyed by the elements. That is a major reason why it is still in such good condition! And no, I could not bring myself to chop this one - not that there is anything wrong with a chopped coupe!

 

No there is nothing wrong with a chopped coupe -as long as you don't mind driving with your head on your shoulder! Personally ,I like HER head on my shoulder!!!

 

Couple more pics. This coupe will be going into storage soon while I work on other projects. Any Hambers that are going to Deuce Days in Victoria in July are welcome to get hold of me if you want to come by and see the coupe. Send me a pm.

Steve

 

More pics. The coupe is going to be put away while I get back to working on the 53 Ford convertible project. Thanks for all the interest in the barn find!

 

That thing is just a sweety , great story too...

 

Here is Dale - Micamountain is his name here - putting a headlight on. Thanks for all your help putting the coupe together, Dale!

 

man that thing is sexy....perfect as it sits... wow

 

I love the PATINA look! Simply perfect...I can't believe how much character that car has, and it's just sitting still. Congrats on the cool find. Can't wait to see progress...

 

Put a motor in that thing and drive it.I have my own chair should I bring it with me to sit with you.Darrell

 

And your working on another car ??

 

Talk about self discipline......

 

So bitchin!!

 

Steve, thats the nicest 34 I've seen in years. I'm happy for you.
What are your plans for a power plant? Oh and also, thank you
Dennis for taking good care of the little Ford all these years. We
all get to see and enjoy it now.

 

Nobey - the plans are to keep this one all flathead. It will just have to wait its turn. Thanks for all the comments guys and gals!

 

Now you really made my day!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks Chris! But I'm having a hard time keeping up with your collection, you seem to find them everywhere. Good work, I like the enthusiasm the younger generation is showing for these old Fords.
