    34 doors have the web at the rear of the window opening (as seen in the Rolling Bones photo). 34 front door windows once rolled up, you could give them another 1/4 turn and the glass would slide back creating a vent at the front edge. Sometimes referred to as a "smokers window". The web covered the rear edge of the glass when the glass was in it's standard position. The 34 doors are the same outside dimension of 33 doors and will interchange.

    Those are also not 3 window doors, but rather 5/w or 4 dr front doors. Much shorted than 3/w doors.

    Wheel suggestions? I’m thinking wide fives? Want to pull out my enclosed trailer with the T body so all body work will be done together... I also have my eye on a 31 Model A... It is mint. Would be for the wifey (concours rest... ) My dream scenario is 4 rods (1 for each family member) maybe a 32 deuce and this 33 coupe for my boys... and the T for me!

    The previous owner chopped it into 2 sections and started the chop so little parts is all I have for now... :rolleyes: As soon as I get a frame I will be piecing it back together... However everything is there...

    I think that red primer car shown in the second photo is one of George Potees cars. It looks like a rolling Bones Build. Killer look....

    • I will be utilizing P and J for my chassis as time is of the essence, and most of it will be sucked up with motor/body work...

    I think the wheel you show in post#9 (16" x 4.50) fits 49-51 Shoebox Ford.

    Don't forget, Pete and Jakes is a HAMB Alliance Vendor. If you spring the 50 bucks for the Alliance, you can save a big pile on your chassis. They are great guys, and they let us hang around in their parking lot on the way to the HAMB Drags.

    Are you sure you have a three window body? Might be a five window.

    Hmmm, I was thinking the same thing. Those are '34 5 window doors...and if they came with the body and fit...it's a 5 window.

    Looks like a nice project! I like to see guys starting out with clean metal. If it turns out to be a 5Window that is fine with me. Bob
