Hot Rods 1934 Ford sedan into a coupe

I made this to stamp them

 

Ingenious...

 

Great work. It takes skill & dedication to pull this off even for someone that has an original 3 window sitting beside it for constant references. Doing without a body for reference would be exponentially more difficult. Congratulations, sir.

 

Very unique and yes, ingenious. I had a vision of someone using either a hammer and dolly or an air hammer and dolly of some sorts. Obviously I was, overthinking the process a little bit. Little tricks like that are what makes this site interesting and a great place to learn.

 

Well I know it’s been awhile but after numerous delays (other projects, moving, moving my shop) I drove it for the first time today. Still lots to do but it’s running s

 

Very cool build.

 

These threads keep my inspiration going, thanks for sharing!

 

Outstanding!!!

 

Great job!

 

Good job!!

 

What an awesome job you did on this build! Keep up the good work!

 

absolutely perfect--have to change the vin!

 

Oh yes!!

While I am in primer I thought I would letter it all up like a race car or dirt car. What the hell right?
Anyway I am still deciding what to paint on it but I did do some on the tail. I copied the idea from an old picture I saw in instagram. What do you think? To corny? Or cool

 

I hope you don’t mind me doing the full image thing , just makes it easier for everyone and ones can really appreciate the work that you have done.
(If not, I can delete it)
- amazing job, initially I wondered why not just build a tudor, or even a 5 window would probably be easier, but the end result is certainly worth it !

 

Thank you
I don’t mind at all. My pictures have been like that since my son made me switch to IPhone. I am not iPhone compatible.

 

I came very close to buying a 5 window. But I found this sedan. It was close, affordable, and in fair condition. If I had it to do over I would have kept it a sedan. I think sedans are great, but I had it in my head that I could pull this off so there was no turning back. I am never happy with my own work and this was a lot of work. I am going to take the easy route with the next one.

 

Fantastic! Your home makes a great backdrop as well.

 

As already been said. You did a fine job on this conversion!

 

Impressive work...well done!

 

Wow!!!
Question, any details shots of how the trunk drip rail drain is supposed to be ? How’s the water get out ? Looking for ideas

 

See that 3/4” hole in the floor? That’s how the water gets out.

 

Really? That simple huh

 

Not one of Ford’s better ideas.

 

@irondoctor outstanding craftsmanship from beginning to end. Sheet metal fabrication to the stance, you nailed it!.
Also, did I spy a Supergoose in your garage?

 

It’s a 26” ****oose, but I sold it awhile back. I have a big ripper that I ride now.
Although I do still have my Redline MX-II that I rode growing up.

 

Dam, all I had was a Takara bmx. All the kool kids had PK Rippers...

 

When I was in 5th grade I was working and saving to buy a new Predator. A guy in town decided to sell his Redline so he could buy a VW bug. He wanted $250 for the bike I didn’t have that much saved up yet so I went to my dad and explained the situation. He said get your money and he took me across town to this house with a VW that had an engine fire sitting in the back yard. I bought it for $50, we towed it home, rewired it and new fuel line. I drove it to the guys house and trade it straight across for the Redline.

 

This site never ceases to amaze me.

 

just fantastic work on this build!
