Getting excited about the 34 build

Here is what I got, it was on the road last in 1980. I wanted a chopped 34 but I think the body will stay like this. The frame has some problems.

 

I'll give this one a bump for ya...

 

Neat body, any more history on it and what are your plans?

 

Looks like a solid start. Good luck with the build. Keep us informed...lots of pix!

 

Well changes have been made. The new firewall is installed thanks X MAN, rear looks more like a 34.

 

And here are the pictures

 

Nice coupe, keep at it and it will turn out great!

 

Great project

 

What you got is a great start to a *****in hotrod!

Good Luck!!!

 

It looks a lot better without those rear fenders. Nice looking car.

 

Yea the fenders, the back was a bumper off of who knows what, the rear suspension gets a buggy spring, the front gets a I beam split wishbones. Awe what the hell a new frame!

 

I love 34's. Im jealous, but its alright, I like what you've done so far

 

Nice job straightening out that rear body..I saw this car for sale on craigslist awhile ago with the white frame and I p***ed on it..Great to see it getting put right again!

 

Cool!! I saw that thing on Clist a while ago, I almost drove over to check it out but ended up with a different car. Nice work so far!

 

Well she is a roller, clutch and brake pedals ,I beam ,bones.

 

Settin' just right!!!!!

 

Well if anyone cares trying to fit the hood and the grill is not what i thought. It had been cut up some. Seat is on tracks ,package tray,gas tank fitting nicely. Next the front brakes will turn into drums and the battle will rage on.

 

very nice progress!

 

Looks great man! When does it get some Deluxe Champions?

 

The tall skinny ones are down the road they are expensive, gotta get the wheels too.

 

Fantastic! And yes they are spendy aren't they? Sheesh! I'm excited to see this come together as I have '34 coupe dreams myself.

 

Have a little progress report. Motor ****** rear in the frame, it's coming along looking for some 16'' wheels 4 1/2 bolt pattern.

 

Great progress. One heck of a car. Nice work.

 

You need some '49 Ford special order wheels. (I have some)

 

Also looking for a model A or 33 34 stock shift lever thanks for looking Jim

 

I'm a 30's junkie and love seeing all the progress. Keep the photo's com'in.

 

This is starting to look good...I'm in.

 

Cool build, I saw that you switched to drum brakes up front. Are those bendix? Also any more detailed pictures of your clutch linkage? Good job on the progress.

 

some pics of the clutch linkage and I found some 16'' wheels and yes those are bendix brakes. Also body work getting started been trying to match the paint so I don't have to paint the whole car. Sorry I always use the small pictures still learning computer skills 101 Jim

 

A little update, grill ,inner fenders are on ,brakes bleed, even fired that mean 327 up. Body is taking a little more than expected, doors had some fresh air holes hidden by bonami.
