New Coupe Build............

OK, so I sold the roadster at the last Pomona swap-meet and have been stashing parts for awhile to build a 30 coupe on deuce rails, Just need a few more things. I've got about a day into it now. body already had 4'' chop but will need some cleaning up. how *****in zero rust, zero bondo. I built the roadster in about three months I hope to have this one running in about a month or so? keep you posted.

 

rock on man! looks like a good start ya got going there.

 

Uh yea, 3 months! Dang you work quick, I'm draggin mine out to 4 years now! Learnin as I go though.

Very nice work, it's gonna look mean!

 

Very Nice! by the way...did you pick this up from Jerry (Norwalk)?, body looks very familiar.

 

wow! keep us posted !!

 

29 ford jg, body did come from Jerry (great guy)

 

Hey justplainj,

That little coupe looks great so far, will you do updates on this thread ? I'm looking forward to seeing this build up.

 

The body is very clean. If I had the dough, I would've picked up. He's one of my good friends. You're definitely doing justice to the body. Keep us posted on the progress.

 

cool coupe,good luck

 

Nice work !

 

ok, here is some more pic's of the work I have done. almost there!

 

wow you work way too fast............you wanna come help me finish my roadster this week?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? lookin *****in! -jordan

 

Did you pinch the frame at all? Or is that just on the 28/29.

 

***s

 

Love it

 

Stop showing this stuff. I already know how good deuce rails look under a well chopped body and it's making me jealous. This thing looks awesome and your work looks top notch my friend. I am subscribing to this thread so keep them coming.

 

looks fantastic,

what size wheels and tires,
and what backing plates and scoops on the front?

 

Looks very cool. Nice to see the flatty too.

 

Paul, wheels are 40 ford. rear tires are 890/16 fronts are 450/475/16 front brakes are so. cal.

 

1 month! Are some people just born with skills? I have to fight to get my skills to even get of the skills couch. Great looking car man! Keep posting.

 

looks great keep posting

 

OK, spent the day shortening my sprint car steering box and making mounting brackets. man what a lot of work!

 

Looks good! Nothing like a model A on 32 rails

 

sitting just right...my next build is on a Deuce frame...who's rails are those?

 

the frame was bought at the Pomona swap meet and I think it's made by the hot rod shop? kiwi konnection in Bakersfield would be your best bet for a 32 frame.

 

Damn you work fast! Keep the updates coming...

 

That is SWEET!!!!!!!

 

Is that a Schroeder? If not what brand? Also, do you know the ratio? One more. Your pitman arm looks very long for a sprint car box, taking into consideration how fast they steer. Have you done some calculations on how hard it will be to turn the wheel? I'm curious because I want to do the same thing. Thanks!

 

Gene, it's a schroeder box with 8:1 ratio yea it will steer a little fast but you can get different gear ratios. I don't think I will have hard steering there are tons of hot rods with this boxes in them. hope this helps.
