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 ***!! 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

*****in 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
