Sweet little traditional 34 Ford Hot Rod

Nice - even with the SBC...

 

Found it in a boneyard, but think it's 55 or 56. Had to fab lower part, early ones were oil bath.

 

very cool car... purdy motor. gotta love original stock chevies.

my new deuce will have this one...as is

 

Larry, This isn't a matter of live and learn is it? I ***ume you mean the next one will be built for less than an executive Florida retirement condominium.

BTW, I've already saved up $17.46 to buy your 3w. Sure feels good when your almost to your goal

Oh Yea, to stick to the current subject that '34 is perfect, don't change a thing.

 

I agree, and great little motor, hard to tell from that angle, but it looks to be an early block, even(no side motor mounts).

 

Very nice!

 

Nah, it just evolved this way....i thought it was too neat to cover up with new paint.

 

That is funny, I was thnking the same thing. I love the car!

 

Hot DAMN, that's a beautiful coupe.

 

nice job.....

 

a whole lot less

 

Very nice!!..and done right!! Is he from Brookings? Will he be at the Vintiques rod run in Watertown in September? I'd like to see it.

 

You owned a Blue chevy PU and a FED right? Welcom to the HAMB

 

I love a bit of rust,but that 64?Plymouth deserves a bit of spotlight as well,great shape

 

Freakin' awesome.

 

great car. it's got an incredible "look" to it.

 

No one else has asked so I will. What trans and rearend did you use in that bad boy? Inquiring minds NEED to know.

Welcome 18n57! As you can see from my handle, I like 33s and 34s myself. Yours is a period perfect ride and is now my desktop wallpaper. My first encounter with a hot rod was a 32 3W channeled, fenderless and with a late 50s Corvette engine. I dreamed about that car for years. I like them all but there is something special about a hot rod 34 5W. It has the looks and style. It must be a joy to drive.

I just acquired a 34 5W myself and it needs lots and lots of work. It will get a turn after the other one is done. I am kind of jealous of your's though. It appears to be a really solid car. Did you have to do patch panel, rockers, etc.?

If you want to take a look at my projects follow my link from my profile page and you can see my two 34s.

 

Yes...........thanks

 

S10 5 speed and 9" with buggy spring and old lever shocks

 

Nice car looks just like mine that was stolen from San Antonio.

Someone please call Nurse Ratched, mendoza's quit taking his med's again.

You can park that coupe in my drive anytime,... don't forget to leave the keys.

 

As stated earlier............Beautiful

 

This is a slow response cuz I'm kinda slow. Used aS-10(T5) trans and a 9" ford rear with 3:50 gear. So far trans is okay, it has the 4.03:1 low gear, but with low torque 265 and 31" tall tires it is fine. Not sure trans will hold up to banzai, 5k side-stepping clutch action.......but then maybe again

 

Great car. He seems to have an eye on all the little details. The engine alone, generator, fuel filter, Rochester 4GC, original choke set up....and chevys are really not my cup of tea.
One of the nicest coupes, with a cool less is more at***ude.

 

Steve, Do you have any pictures of your old FED or your pickup? Then you can show them that you can do better than this old wreck! Ha

 

What a clean looking car... VERy cool, nice to have a car like that pull in your driveway!

 

34s KILL. I like leaving the apron on the sides below that perfect little orange motor. The firewall on 34s sometimes cause a hoodless car to look unfinished. You sure got it right.
