What To Do With A 32 Hup Mobile 3w Coupe

Here Is A 32 Hupmobile I Just Got . I Am In The Mock Up Stage And Have Started A Ch***is. I Will Be Using A Chev 230 Inline 6 I Had Laying Around.i Need A ***le For A Hupmobile . The Car Came With A 28 Chrysler ***le But I Would Like A Hup. I Will Be Putting 1/4 Eliptic Springs In The Rear And A 30's Mopar Axle In The Front. I Am Planing On A 6 " Chop And In Is Channeled 4" . Also Need A Chevy Truck 6 Lug Rear End .i Have Got Some Chev 6 Lug Wheel I Would Like To Run.

 

Here Is The Motor Mounts . They Will Look Like They Are Rivoted On The Frame

 

Looks like a nice body. Hope thats not how your front crossmember is going to be welded. ???

I like the motor mounts, where are they from?

Here Are Some More Photos

 

The Front Spring Mount Will Be Redone Just Temp. The Motor Mounts I Made.

 

Here Are Some New Photos Of The Rear 1/4 Eliptic And Front Suspention.i Also Scored Some Neet Gauges Aswell

 

Dont see many of those. keep posting pics as you go. Thanks, BOBBY FORD

 

I like that body. 6" chop sounds a lot looking at the stock roof height. I like the I6.

 

Neat car..... cool ideas..... Why Do You Capitalize Each Word In A Sentence?

 

Gauges are out of a boat. Mercury marine. I have a complete set. The set I have had a 4cyl. engine. I wonder if they can be switched to v-8? I like the coupe!! Cool car.

lookin like nice car... love the inline 6

 

very cool build,shore you wont see to many 32 hupmobile hotrods!

 

very cool , go go go!

 

I like the gauges. What are your rear wheels? Looks good so far. 6" seems a bit drastic to me but that's just me.

 

Not to be offensive or non traditional, but there are some narrow rear ends with 6 lug patterns on the far east side of your local u pull it.

 

The rear wheels are 99-04? ford f150 or excursion sparea . They are 17x7 and firestone makes a 7.00 17. The front will be 19x3 9n ford tractor rims and coker has 4.0x19 tires.They should be real tall for that lakes look.i am hoping i can us the gauges or make them work . The faces are really cool.also i gave up on the chevy 6 lug rear end, but i still had to get a wide rear end for the tires to clear the body. tha body is the same width as a 30 31 model a at the front but the back is 8 " wider. i am also ythinking of chopping it 4 to 5" not the 6 i had planed.

 

Looking cool dude! You still planning on painting a mural of Tony Danza on the trunk lid?

 

The gauges I have look just like those and they came from a 1970 Mercury marine like I said. They are electric so you will have to get the temp, oil, and fuel senders to match. The speedo and tach you might be able to transfer the lense to anouther gauge. I'm not sure how the boat measures speed and the 5000rpm tach and 60mph speedo would ****.

thats a pretty rare car, its going to be nice to see it driven again. keep up the great work!!!!!!

 

here she is with a fresh 5" chop . you know you work on a car for awhile and you just look at it and deside now is the time to chop it . to day was the day. the rear window is less than 2 1/2 " tall. now i have to start welding and smelling that old wood smolder .

 

the level in the photo is 48" tall and the top is the same height as it.

 

I Don't Know What State Your'e In, But, I'm In Ohio Building A '34 P/u And Don't Have A ***le. So I Was Wondering, Why Not Buy Any Old ***le And Use That. The Gal At The ***le Bureau Doesn't Know A Whippet From A Wackit So I Don't Know If It Really Matters. Any Opinions Out There

 

please dont bite my head of if this sounds a stupid question but did hupmobile take a 31 model a and make a 3 window cos that what it looks like

 

her are some new photos of the hup with the wheels and tires. the front are 19' and the rear are 17" .it is sitting on it on weight now and i think i am happy with the stance. i still have a long way to go but i am tring to be able to drive it this summer.

 

sweet looking ride!! I like it lots!!!!!!!!!

 

Saw it in person last night. Pictures don't do it justice. It's a lot wider than a model a in the back. Extremely Cool!

 

new photos of the coupe

 

wild! love the wheels!

 

LIke the wheels. Are they ferguson wheels?

 

Very cool. I love the off brand body styles. The proportions are dead on. I think that is hard to do with an inline 6. You also nailed the stance.
