Hot Rods Curbspeed Coupe. "Holy Hell" 10/4/2020

Rob, You need to send me those pictures again. I have no idea what happened to them. Sounds cool. I used to have one of those many moons ago(many moons)

 

wow thats nice work.

 

This thing is sweet! I can't wait to see it come together.

 

I will resend them to you. When I go pick her up Satuday I will post pictures when I get home.

 

Don't know how I missed this. The design and attention to detail, looking forward to seeing it come together.

Terry

 

Nothing like your badass Vicky Terry O. You nailed that project bigtime man. Jimmy did a smashup job on the build. Please start a thread with nothing but pictures of that gorgeous car. I need the inspiration. I want to finish this one off as nice as yours if I can manage it.

 

so Dale, anymore updates. I would like to see what you have gathered for this car( email me ) can't wait to drive it LOL ?

 

Yeah! less talk, more work!

 

If the devil is in the details ... This is going to be a Hell of a hotrod ...

 

Dale I just found your thread and love your style.I see your running Firestone dirt track combo tires. I just looked at a set last weekend and there so cool!! I just wonder how they handle at cruising speed? I painted my coupe last fall orange pearl with a satin finish and love it .I can't wait to see your progress.

 

They are great on the road at any speed.

 

Ya,. They are alright. You get what you pay for. I would really like a set of those Excelsirors from Coker if I could afford them. These tires are just for mockup and to get going. I will get the others in the future. No more CHATTING. I have been scolded by my friend Kiwi Kev to get back to work. And I take that man very seriously. I'm out for now.

 

Awesome build. I love the look of the 34 Ford coupes. Blasphemy it may be but I'd take one over a Duece. Especially like the traditional style builds, thats why I'm here after all Like to get into building sometime but right now the University is snatching up all my cash.

 

Kick ass! You have done a few things I was thinking about doing on my 3 window. That saves me some head skratchin'.

I ran those same seats in my old rusty truck, I wish I would have kept them when I sold it.

 

Are you planning to keep the cowl vent? I wanna get my hood louvered also but need a working cowl vent that doesn't direct engine heat into my car....decisions, decisions.

 

Yea Rocky I am. This is Arizona. You need some airflow for sure. I am actually going to put air in this car as well. It will be all hidden. I am going to have to get tricky to pull that off. Compressor off the driveline and such in the rear of the car.(I know, I know) It gets very hot here and I have to be able to drive in any condition in this car.

 

Update: I just did a tech post for tech week on puting 39 pedals in the 34 frame. I will link it here and put up a few pics of the modification. Gawd, I could use some new equipment from Baleigh!http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=570236

 

Brake pedals put in to frame over the last week.

 

3 pedals....very cool.

what are your intentions when it comes to running the exhaust?

Looking great, great to see people building coupes at the moment.

Cheers,

Drewfus

 

Drewfus, I am contemplating running belled scavenger style pipes angled out the side like the 7-11 coupe. See picture attached. Exhibit A: I will have to put baffles hidden in each pipe. I have a loud car now and I want someting a little quieter this time. Am I gettin old?

 

I think you already know that whilst you suggest it will be quieter than the rpu, you are also sufficiently experienced to know that it will be an unachievable goal, especially with belled organ pipes

Have similar thoughts for my 3 window, with the pipes like the sheldon schmdt coupe, or maybe even the tognotti coupe

Keep at it, enjoy and appreciate the updates,

Cheers,

Drewfus

 

Eddie Dale, you are slaying that thing, looks awesome. Hope all is well down there and your being a good boy, brushing your teeth and all. Saw your pops at the swap, he was in good spirits and doing good. Your Hot-Rod is evolving nicely, can't wait to watch the progress to the end. Hope the weathers good, been nasty wet and cold up here. Keep up the great work.

 

Thanks Keith, It's good to have friends all over this great country that believe in what your doing. Sorry about your crummy weather. Can't help ya there. I made my choice to get out. I love it here in the desert. It's about 88 here today I think. My pop is doing great. He definitely gave me the passion for this stuff and I love him for that.(He lurks here!) I appreciate the kind words on the build. Especially from someone like you that knows what's up. Say hello to your dad for me. Dale

 

Great build!

Those hair-pin hangers are AWESOME! I LOVE those kind of details!

 

Thanks Scooter. They look like chicken scratch compared to the stuff you do. Man your gowjob is muay bitchin'.

 

Thanks man! I don't know though... I was sitting here thinking, "Man, if I could do it over again, I would..." Chicken scratch, no way!

Seriously! Looks fantastic! Gonna' be sweet for sure! TONS of really clever details on your build! Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve...

 

you sure are ! Why did I run straight pipes out the back on the 49 ? am I getting old also ! Hey Dale, anymore updates as of today ? Wish I was there pounding back a beer or two and checking out the 34 progress !

 

Just thought I would keep bump this thread. I hope your knee is getting better after the surgery Dale. We all look foward to updates, when your back on your feet ! Speedy recovery !

 

Are there any more updates on this build????

 

Damn! Dale, you were telling me about the A/C system at the LARS, but I've somehow missed this thread until today... holy hell, you're doing an amazing job so far man! Loving the bracketry, chassis mods, and the overall plan (to me, no color says no-nonsense race car like orange.)

Updates are wanted, indeed!
