Flatmotor40, There are a boatload of 14 p***enger vans up at Haynes off of 441 near Commerce- PLENTY of steel to fill a sedan roof!
Heres mine its been in the family since the early sixties, I remember when it was a solid car( interior, top, doors shut solid). I have drove it.(been a while). I have no intentions of ever selling it.
Neil, the hoods are different on 33's & 34's. The 33' has vertical louvers and is about 6" shorter as the cowl exposure changed...hope that helps.
Here's mine. 34 Standard Sedan. 327, turbo 400, Dodge A-Body torsion bar front end. Built it in '76-'80. Still drives great.
Hey guys, here's my addition. I've only had her a few weeks, but have fallen hard. Trying to pick up info. on these isn't easy. Mine is a 34' Master Town Sedan with 37,000 original miles. Hard to believe someone held back from wanting to drive it more after all those years.....enjoy!
I have an original 1933-34 Chev rear bumper that has been rechromed, complete with brackets if anyone can use it.
just gettin' started. i'm thinking hemi, but maybe i could go with a caddy mill........(the 350 is just there for looks)
Welded in a 18 gauge steel panel with hand formed tubing bows (conduit) Then padded and vinyl covered like a landau top on a 70s car. Aftermarket Mustang II front suspension.
I know that I am late to the party, but here are a couple pics from my 35 build. I found this car in Texas in a older gentleman's garage. The guy didn't know the sorry on the car, but my best guess is someone built a drag car out of it in the 60's. It had a big block Oldsmobile in it with no ****** and a Ford rear end that was locked up solid. I left the body alone and the wood is in good shape. It has a Fatman front end and Air Ride 4 link in the rear. Bagged all the way around of course. It took me about three years to get it to this point, but I drive it everywhere. I have had it on the road since 08 and have been slowly adding things to the car to finish it. I will probably leave the body alone, but finish out the interior. I have added a Vintage Air AC system and plan to change it to push ****on start this winter.
My 34 Sedan that I have been plugging away at for a few years. Fenders were too rusted & dented to use when I found it, so decided to go with the 'salt' look. New floor channeled about 4" and replaced the lower wood with steel tubing. 307/350. In hindsight I probably should have channeled it 2" an chopped it 2" Dak
This is my 35 standard sedan I started on in 1999 . I had a 34 town sedan but sold it , they are a little bit bigger. All floor replaced with metal Roof metal came from a 57 ford 4 door sedan narrowed and reversed end for end. All steel accept running boards. 350 crate engine,stock with Eddlebrock. 2004/R O/D Transmission. Power R/P Mustang II. Air Cond. Walker radiator. Chrome , tilt steering column with column shifter. First engine i used was a 4.3L 4-6 with a Eddlebrock , never liked the exhaust sound,so I changed it to a v/8. Iv had it going for about 4 years now and hardly ever drive it. More fun building it. __________________________________________________________________
