Technical 34 ford 3 window weight

Can anyone tell me what a stripped empty 34 ford 3 window coupe body shell weighs? Thanks for the help

 

No idea on what your asking . Me sitting in my 32 , Henry Steel 3W , is 2860 lbs

 

Want to know the approximate weight of only the coupe shell, no interior, no gl***, without doors or decklìd. Thanks

 

Would there really be much difference between a empty shell from a Model A coupe, Tudor , or '32 coupe, Tudor ? Is that info not on the websites from manufacturers of replica bodies ?

 

It's an original Henty steel body

 

The shipper is charging by the pound?

 

Combination of size and weight, and when I get it, I need to be able to hang it from the rafters.

 

I have never weighed a complete body, but here are some ******** generalities;

Two dudes can pick up a body if that is all the guys you have.

I have lifted all my bodies from the rafters and I have only dropped one. (operator error.)



So based on all that science, I'm going to throw out a total guess, 800 pounds.

Good luck and make sure and post lots of pictures.

-Abone.

 

Used 6 people to move mine with doors , rumble lid , gl*** . I’m guessin as Mr . Flamedabone , says around 700-800 lbs . Just guess heavier , when it comes in lower , you got a deal !

 

He's asking for without doors and trunk. I'd guess a bit lighter.
Also, remind me not to mess with you and your friends, @flamedabone. Both guys lifting and moving 400# each? I don't like trying to get a bare BB up and around, and they are under 250.

 

If it's a truely naked shell you might be surprised how light it is. I've got a '32 tudor, no wood, no top insert, no doors and I can easily move it and lift each end. On the other hand a friends '34 tudor with doors and top insert had a ton of factory undercoating on the interior panels and 6 of us struggled to take it off the frame. P.S. I'm old. '34's have the welded firewall and if the floor is complete it might be 350# give or take 50#. That's my guess.

 

^^^^ I'd agree on 350-400 for a bare shell w/o doors, deck lid.

I've got a full 34 cowl w/firewall and toe kicks, A posts and I'd estimate it's about 80-100.
IIRC, a 4' x 8' sheet of 16 ga. steel is about 75, so that's your floor.
Roof is light, maybe 30ish.
Pair of quarters and tailpan with all the bracing = maybe 100.
That's about 300. Add wood, undercoating, bondo, paint...


If you can afford a steel 34 3/window, you can afford shipping!

 

My brother and I held up shell in my avatar while his son rolled the ch***is out from under and placed a couple sawhorses.

 

Thanks guys for all your help. I think that I'll just put 2 4x6's across the trusses and hang it from there front and rear.

 

That will work unless your garage was built by an idiot.

 

I added some 2x4 bracing to the rafters in my garage to hang my 40 body. Then just a 4x4 across said rafters with a chain hoist hanging from it. When all was said and done, I don’t think the bracing was necessary but it made me feel better about it. I’d guess my 40, with trunk and doors was about 400 pounds.
