Look what followed me home! Mom, can we keep it?

Since the days of ZZ Top on MTV Ive always thought the 33 34 Ford Coupe was the coolest of the cool...I had almost given up hope that I would ever own one. But opportunity knocked this weekend and I jumped on the opportunity. It rough, full of bondo, and has a ****ty chop but I think its the most purdy thing Ive ever seen because its my 34 Coupe. Ive seen worse turned to nice cars...what do you think?

 

Nice score! Interesting that it's sitting on a Model A frame and I've seen much worse bodies repaired. What are your plans for it?

 

cool find! what do i think? since you asked, i'd say a merc flathead if you could find one. will you put fenders on, or leave them off?

 

Yeah, those are bad ***. Nice score.

 

Nice body, hard to believe some defo wanted to mount it on a Model A frame but you got some nice tradingmaterial in the frame for sure.

 

aww dat things no good, the spokes look all wrong and the paint is crummy.
Better haul it over here and I'll make sure it gets recycled into a new honda.

 

A pickup bed load of fenders came with it but Im leaning fenderless and early hemi. I have the original frame but it is thin in places so Ill probably get some repro rails and use original X member and front crossmember. Ive got a 40 front axle and can get a 40 rear Id like to find a halibrand QC center for it someday.

 

Yeah the frame has juice brakes and in pretty good condition...I think I may have it sold...so that extra change would help in the search for more parts.

 

hell yeah, i even looks pretty nice on that a ch***is.

 

I think you did fine.

 

Yeah, that's a hell of a score! You sure the whole ZZ Top thing was the coupe or the girls that were standard equipment?

 

Like you said, its' your '34 and its' a keeper! 3 cars conjure an image when you give the year: 34 coupe, 40 willys and 49 merc., don't come any better, congrats

 

Pretty cool it depends how much it was.

 

i like it and you have a great outlook for it. knowing its "not great" to start from and making it great will make you love it even more!!

 

Not a bad one at all . I have seen a hell of a lot worst turned into some damn nice rides !
Nice find ! Keep us posted on the build .
BTW an early hemi would really look good !

 

I paid less than model a going price.

 

Looks cool in the pic's, a little elbow grease and you'll have a great rod. Congrats on the score.

 

cool score dude.
it's the best when you get something you really want.

 

Nice score man!

 

great find!!!!

 

awesome hope you post some build pictures as you work on it

 

Maybe the hope that with a Coupe I too can pull that much leg!

 

I looked at an A coupe today that makes yours look like a diamond!!!! Nice

 

Nice find brother...gotta admit, I'm a ****er for the '34's too.

 

Nice score. It should be real cool when you get it done.

 

NICE !

it does'nt matter what you paid , if your happy thats all that matters .

 

congrats on your new car.......

 

i think you scored!! congrats man!!

 

You can't beat a chopped, fenderless 34 five window. Great score!
