    I chopped this 34 for a friend in @ '78. I did the body work and paint as well. It did not have fenders on it when I got finished with what the owner wanted done. He sold it a year or so later and it wound up in Missouri. A friend of mine in St. Louis area bought it at auction yesterday. It had been over there since '81. I was really saurprised to discover that it was the one I did.
    This tells me there is hope of finding a car we once owned long ago.
    So, I will post a pic of the 34 3 window as well as my old green tudor. I;d love to know the fate of the tudor. I was told by ywo different people that it went to Missouri as well. Here's hoping.

    That's a beautiful chop on the 3W. Hope your friend keeps it and puts many miles on the red coupe!

    Both have the look that never goes out of style. Hope you find it!

  6. GOOD!
    timwit, curious what triggered " that is one I built" since with the fenders it looks different. I would think!

    I would hope it's a case of he did small things that he was very pleased with, but if he's a perfectionist, it may be a flaw nobody but him spots.
