Projects The "Red '34". 1934 Ford 5 window project.

Sadly, a mechanical pump ain't happening. I'm not a big electric pump guy, but the alternator needed the space more than the pump did.

-Abone.

 

Thanks mate, been looking at relocating mine there due to changing up my steering and that was something I couldnt work out when I saw setups like yours.

 

Lower rad hose is going to be interesting, too.

 

Here we are, regular old Sunday night update.

Set up the master and slave for the clutch. This is by far, the easiest clutch set up I have ever done. Simple, quick, no drama.



Engages the clutch right in the perfect spot.



Rear ladder bar kit.



And there you go, the FlamedAbone US Military/rock crawler/monster truck style ladder bars. Good for about a 1000 horse more than the little small block makes.



Now, the fun part. Quick changes are super simple to set up.



Start by chillin'



And grillin'



Slam the two together and drill the retaining bolts.



Cook the center section and install the pinion and lower shaft.



Start assembling the guts



Shim the whole shiteree to 12 thou.



Do the shim dance until you get 4 to 6 thou of pinion back lash.



Real Magnesium Color, Eddie?

Nuttin but the best, Clark.



All together



The 8 inch and leaf springs gotta go.



Better already.



Monster truck ladder bars ready for action.



Yea!! A roller, finally, and the Quickie in her new home.



Not sure what's next, but it will likely be somthin'

See ya, -Abone.

 

Bang a rang!

 

Sheesh, no over thinking, just getting it done.
Looks great!

 

Gotta Love It.
Admire your decisions and skill.

 

Here's to A-bone. The Model 40s best friend.

 

The Magic continues.

 

Wow whoever is going to end up with this will be happy. QC is a bonus!

 

I'm sure there is an exhaust kit for a '34 Ford with a Chevvie, but I'm a roll your own kind of guy.



Work around some obstacles, but nothing major.



Man, this sure was a lot of hard work. It was..... exhausting.....



Now for the shin catcher.



Adios, mofo.



Carve it up until it looks like it is supposed to.



A little more high and tight.



Shows off the quickie a bit.



Not sure of the origin of this fire wall, definitely some sort of re-pop as it has a BIG ass distributor notch.



Some of it had to go to fit the little Chevvie motor.



And there you have it and not a single in progress shot. And, I'm out of welding gas, so tacked is all you get. Use your imagination and pretend that it is fully welded and metal finished.



Next up is floor boards.

See ya, -Abone.

 

Killer

 

That ass end came up really well. Nice job. @flamedabone did you cut that rear bar a few times to get the curve in it or bend it another way?

 

Yep, that is a cut and weld job.

-Abone.

 

Thanks.

 

Looking Great!
Thanks for the updates.

 

The only guy I know who can make a sandwich out of 1/2 a slice of cheese! Must be nice to have the skills fix anything, lol....No matter how bad it is or whats missing. Love your builds, Boner.

 

Chop....No chop?

 

My favorite part of these builds is that you hardly ever see any tools or equipment or anything in the pics? But then poof!!! Badass hotrod! Is like magic or something?!

 

It’s all a “clean shop” filter lol. Blue screen magic

 

My Pop's coupe has a similar rear treatment, but the flange is removed.

 

That looks super clean with a gangster lean.

 

Keep the awesome updates coming.

 

Alchemy, your Pop's coupe is a bad mofo.

-Abone.

 

Floors aren't very exciting, but you gotta do em. I like to start just forward of middle to give the toe boards and trans tunnel something to weld to.



Then, I like to finish the whole project and forget to take any pictures.



Once the floorboard is done, that sucker is a whole car.



From the FlamedAbone, Primitive Yet Functionable Collection (tm), here are the seat mounts.



And, a set of store bought buckets. Yea, I know I'm kind of a bench guy, but I thought I might switch it up a bit for this one.



The little car is now mostly mocked up with all the sheet metal attached, so that means this is probably the last pic you will see of the stock roof. All you " don't chop it" guys should quit looking at this thread, because I'm fixin to whack this pile.



See ya, -Abone.

 

Poof!!!!

 

Man-oh-Man, that is coming along nice!
I sure hope you document the chop. Thanks for sharing the progress!

 

No more than 2" please. That is the perfect look IMO for these cars. Any more and they look too cartoonish.

 

Chop seems good - question: extend roof or tilt windshield back? I like the tilt look

 

Please document the chop! Can't wait to see this.
