How about some updates from the Sedan guys

2 WEEKS!?!??!?!
if you need any help let me know...

 

I appreciate it man! I will take you up on that offer for the trailer to move the Abone !!! We can get some outdoor pics!

 

just let me know buddy..... I owe you anyway for all your help!

 

Here's my collection of parts so far... Should be started on my frame in a couple of weeks or so... The rocket motor should be out by next weekend - and it runs!

 

Wow, your making some serious progress MP33. You'll be rolling in no time. Is the body painted already? Get some more pictures up before it's all done.

 

I haven't done a whole bunch but now that my wedding is out of the way and I finally have a welder, progress should be coming.
I have it mocked up where its going to sit, Got to finish designing my backhalf, and 4 link design so I can incorporate the mounts. Going to chop it right away and do that body work at the back around the beltline right away as well.

 

I pinstriped the back of my 30-A with one of those beugler tools.

 

DAYAM! I'm in love... If I ever can afford to build a '30s rod, it's gonna be just like this Deuce. Streetable circle burners rule!

Hope its ok to post progress on a fordor sedan here haha. Seeing all of your great progress has me insprired, I'm still working on the subframe replacement, which on the fordor is completely wood, ROTTEN wood. I'm fabbing all steel to replace the wood. But I'm getting there, hopefully another couple weeks will finish the subframe and door frames. heres a link to the subframe progress if you're interested in what you all are missing out on with your tudors

Keep up the good work!

 

Love those tail lights.

 

Love the stance and styling! It just looks right!

 

here's some pics of My sedan. Was on the road for two years(built it the first time around in high school), but wasnt happy with the frame...So...i built a new one.
Did it as a fabrication project at school (Ferris State University...for Welding Engineering). Anyways...worked out really well for me since i got to use all of the schools equipment, as well as get all of my materials at a discount through the school...the whole ch***is ( minus front and rear axles) only set me back $1100, and thats after spending close to $700 for the ch***is engineering adjustable four link set up and coil over kit..
Motor is a BBF, dove heads, headers i made in cl***, F-1 steering box,set it up with a C-6 but gonna use a c-4 instead, 58' ford 9", 7" drop suicide front axle, 70's MG lever action shocks...
So just trying to get some more cash around to build the ****** and for some little odds and ends to get it back on the road.

 

Tuesday engine and trans went in. I still have to install the 6x2 intake and valve covers, That's thursdays project.

 

Today the body went back on.







More Pics in a couple days.......Mike

 

MP33. make sure you show us that intake set up. I have a 6x2 set up also..

 

killer pics guys.

 

The picture that I posted of the "Dirt Track" '32 Sedan went over bigger than I had expected in here.

Here's another view of it. [ see attachment ]

His name is Bill Wendt, and yes...he is a nice guy.

I looked at that and said to him... "Why would anybody want to destroy a valuable '32 Ford Sedan body by using it for a dirt track racer...?!" and he explaind that it was really a street rod.

I guess that we are now in the era of ( to coin a phrase...) Concept Rods... Some are period correct retro-rods... others are more like relics with interesting looking dents, rust and dead bugs in the grille. I like it.

 

Well I'm sure I want get any sleep tonight after looking at all these cool cars. I just bought a 31 sedan. It's in pretty good shape. Already has the top chopped but needs more for me. It has a new firewall and has the grill shell. I also got a stock 31 rolling frame with it. OK question for ya'll. Should I box the frame, stretch the wheel base in front, use a Superbell front end, and fab the rear section of the frame so I can get it on the ground????????
Or is it cheaper/faster to buy a rolling frame so to speak built the way I'm wanting to go???????? Thanks for any help.

I got started on the 37 Im building. I have it on another thread but incase you didnt see it there here it is about 45 hours into it. The body is shortened 12" and choped 3".

 

I got a seadan but it's not as old as your guy's it's a 48 and it's a chevy but i mocked the frt end up and now i just got to final weld it then comes the motor mounts, trans mouts, then i have the rear... basically it won't be on the road for a while. Damn it.

 

Exciting stuff! Love what everyone is doing to their sedans!
