Poor Man's 3 Window Coupe . . . started a new project

Very cool ..... and low buck too.....finally, we are back to basics

 

looking good Tetnus!!! I haven't touched my project for a few weeks and I'm getting motorvated looking at your pictures.

 

wow those are words i thought i would never hear, how much do you want for the deck lid?

 

It may have started off rough and ugly.......but it's cool as hell now!

 

Wow that body kicks ass!! That thing has some great lines, especially the one that comes to a point on the cowl..wicked looking chop too!! Can't wait to see how this build turns out.

 

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!:d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d :d That Deserves One More!!!!!!!!:d

 

if you can see anything out of that hudson of yours, you'll be able to see for miles out of that!

and just remember that I am 5' 10"

 

I love the combo of the squarish roof and cowl (in profile) and the swoopy rear quarters. Sort of like welding a 31 and a 34 together. That chop is spot on. Also, while you're in the dare to be different mode, definitely go with the underslung.

I'm watching this one

Bitchin ride Eric! You nailed it on the chop...looking forward to seeing more!

 

Any updates?

 

Nice looking LowSoto!
As a Desoto nut I am glad to see that car heading back out on the road.
Looking good

 

Man the suspense is killing me!!!!! That is the ultimate look and I need to see it rolling!!

 

im in LOVE WITH THAT CAR! keep us posted!

 

sorry it took so long to respond, i had no idea this post got dragged back up.

sadly i must admit that this car hasnt progessed at all since my last update, i have been busy trying to finish up a couple other projects so i can sell them and get some money to do this one right. i hope to get started on it in the next couple of weeks after i finish my 50 cadillac.

thanks for all positive responses, trust me i cant wait to see this thing rolling either and i will keep you all updated on it once i get moving on it again.

 

anything new on this?

 

god damn,this looks sooooo freakin kool, cant wait to see it when its done. i was lookin for somethin similer a few months ago but there were pretty much none availiable. any way good luck with the build i cant wait to see it done. i loved your 'A'. cant wait to see this done.

 

Great Post and a great start. Keep the pics coming. Love these build post.

That looks SO SICK.

 

When you get around to trying to find a decklid.....

That coupe was a rumble seat as it has that type of drip rails.

The rumble lids are mostly all the same on 28-31 and maybe 32 plymouth. desoto and the smaller chryslers. (the 28-29 dodge used different body stuff so measure first) But the early ply, desoto & small chryslers have square corners. The later bodies like yours might have a small cheater piece of sheetmetal in the upper corners that hide a square corner joint. That piece comes out easy if you settle for an older square corner lid. (mine was a 31 ply that I took those pieces out)

The business coupe lid is longer on the older ones, not sure about 30-32.

Nice work
