Projects 1934 Ford 5 window Frederick to Bonneville build

Looks good Dan, I'll be watching your build. I'm chopping my top at the end of the month. I'll post pics as we are doing it. Glad I could help with some of the ch***is stuff. C-Notch looks good. Should not have to fish plate that area after it is welded up. It will be plenty strong as is. A t-spring would help you out a lot more than that a-spring.

 

Looks great! Keep up awesome work!

 

Looking good!

That's a pretty decent notch - there is some info on this thread on different ways to notch a ch***is and ****ysing how much strength is lost/gained.

Dan,
The notch is behind the spring so the only stress is holding the body up behind it. It should be fine just like it is. The coupe looks GREAT! Keep the pictures coming.Subscribed.

 

Take another look at the pictures. The C-notch is forward of the spring/crossmember. It still will not need any plating if you get good penetration on the notch as long as the frame is boxed.

 

It has taken me some time but I am starting to like the '33 and '34 cars more and more. Builds like this one are a big reason why! Love it so far

 

Any progress?

 

Nice job, its turning out well!

 

I like your style dude.

 

Any progress on this? We could use an update please.

 

Not much going on been waiting for this one guy locally to chop it but it doesn't look like it will happen. Not to sure what I,m going to do next. ****s should move west to your area.

 

How did I miss this one?? Looking good, nice save!

 

Come on dan....you have a saw, a welder and a grinder...go for it.
I'll even come up and give you a hand.

 

Great stuff. Can, wait to see the chop, there,s a 5 inch chop coming here too.

 

Well finally got a hold of Kenny Baker at the chopper rod shop and the car is going to Missouri

Awesome thread mate really gives appreciation for how much work goes into creating something like this. Thanks and I look forward to seeing more updates as your rod progresses.

 

come on. hurry up and post more pics please!

 

Let's see how the chop is going! Very nice work!

 

Actually the chop is going really well and the top is back on Kenny's welding everything back up and I'm hoping to be out here either Friday or Saturday morning. He started on it Monday. I never seen a guy welding entire car up without a welding shield I swear he must have either a 12 or 13 Lenses in his head
