Great thread. I'll add mine to help keep it going.

Here it is during construction

Here it is now.
Cheers!

Looking great mickm ! I need to get back on my 33

 

MickM - great looking coupe! You have captured the look and stance of the California Kid very well. Nice work!

 

My efforts pale in comparison to some of the work done by true artists on this thread, but here's my '33 5 window, as found:





And a couple weeks ago (unlike some others on here, this ones staying mostly as a dirt track Jalopy..)

 

Thanks guys for the kind words.
Cheers!

By God their still are some real bodymen left in this world

 

Always liked this shot of a 34 five window sitting on the grass. Belonged to Hamber Richard Head.

 

And here's the barn find coupe shown in earlier posts on this thread as it looks now.

 

Here's mine sitting on my '32 frame while I repair the original...

 

Jeffrey - that original chassis looks to be in outstanding condition! You have a great foundation to work with to build one cool, chopped coupe!

 

I started this thread a few years ago, and have never included photos of another 33 Ford coupe I owned back in the 90's. I have been lucky enough to own four 33-34 Ford coupes, and still have three of them. This 33 three window is the one that got away. The body came with a flat floor and a lot of work done that needed redoing. So I put in a stock floor and put it together as an unpainted roller. It went to a fellow named Rick from Lake Stevens, Washington in the spring of 1997. Never heard about it after that, but I hope Rick built the car. It was a 33 with a 34 grille and hood. Will start a separate thread soon to see if anyone knows about the current state of this coupe.

 

You can drive a tub at the ROG, and the weekend after take the family out to dinner! How cool would that be?? RIGHT?
Start chipping away at that phaeton and send that coupe body my way. That way it will still "be in the family!"

 

A coupe more photos of the 33 three window I sold in 1997 to Rick of Lake Stevens/Everett, Washington. This is the way it looked as it left my place - a roller on 15 inch Merc wheels and old whitewalls. Any of you Western Washington Hambers know what became of this car?

 

Perfection!

 

This was a sedan that got a coupe transplant.

 

I liked this one from the Web.

 

^^^That's a 32^^^^

 

Nice cars everyone.

Here is mine..

 

335wcoupe, thats a real nice coupe you have.
Al.

 

imo

 

In 2000/2001 I met an electrical contractor named Rick who had a 33 3 window up at Extreme Metal and Paint. He was into it over 50,000, and it hadn't reached the paint stage. I don't know where he lived, but the guy that introduced us lived in the Lake Stevens area.

 

Thanks to Richard Head it looks like the mystery of this coupe that got away from me is now solved. Thanks Dave!

 

Thanks Al!

Dale aka Micamountain - good to have your input here. You have a great collection of old tin, so hopefully we will get to see some pics. Looking forward to seeing the 47 coupe soon at Deuce Days.

 

Just found this old stock car- raced on Iowa in the fifties- 99x

 

Whoa!!! Looks like something Zach Suhr would have in his shop!

 

Man this is a great thread!!! How the hell do you guys find these bodies..... ??
