32 more door to coupe conversion

What seems like yesterday - probably 2 yrs ago, there was a thread showcasing the comversion of a 32 4 door sedan to a 5 window coupe. I can't find any info on it. Does anyone have it?

 

I remember seeing that done with a '33/'34 4 door. Somewhere in europe....

 

This was a company who made the quarter panels, with the rear window and roof section. You just cut the more door off at the B-pillar and added the rear section.

The 34 was a real good example of what can be done by an experienced bodyman.

Maybe I should have ***led this - Show us your sedan to coupe conversions.

 

If you find yourself with an extra (or left over) right rear door window channel, I need one.

Here's a couple of pics I saved. There's a phone number on the ad.

 

Thats the exact pics I was talking about. Thanks for that.

I know its probably a long shot, but does anyone have any idea of the area code?

 

I remember seeing the car and flyer at Back to the Fifties in Minnesota, so maybe you'd want to try some Minneapolis area areacodes.

 

check out http://www.thecheatersgang.com/xav34.htm they do it at the moment

 

Incredible job but the proportions don't seem to look quite right. Or is it just me?

 

I think it looks good from what it was. It might be a little short in the quarters though???

 

I saw that thread a while back and am still amazed. That coupe turned out great.

 

Looks a little bit off, but for about 1/10th the cost of a 5W body, you can turn a Fordor into the Deuce of your dreams. Helluva deal imo.

 

Exactly. It sure has me thinking.

Although, this is no easy feat if we were to try it ourselves. I saw one half-finished on egay last year that was extremely hacked up and given up on. It's quite a job, but they also tried to do it all themselves from scratch.....crazy.

 

It looks to me as if the roof over the rear window is a bit " fuller " than a real 5W, but a sensational job, wouldn't I love to be able to do that kinda work.

 

Yeah, it's got more vertical area between the door top and where the "bubble" of the top starts.

 

I dunno. I think it's actually pretty close. It looks like the roof of the "pieced-together" car has been chopped, making that section of the roof seem taller.

What do you think?
