make a 3 W coupe out of a PU cab

Yes, please...I'm going to stay subscribed too...in hope that you won't let it wither. If your body building skills are this good I can only imagine the detail you're going to have in the rest of the build.

 

I'm finishing the car. Just the coupe/pu thread will wither, Ray

 

So because my donor frame was to short for my leaves i had to hillbilly up some front frame horns after getting my ride height figured out.

 

I knew you couldn't let this thread die!!!!

 

Im weak!

 

Fantastic don't stop

 

i find your build very inspiring, ever think about making it a 5 window?

 

The goal was to make a 3w which Mopar did not in those years. Ray

 

nice job

 

I needed a diversion from the poupe and scratch built some rear quarters on a Dodge Town Wagon i bought for $50. A old hippie sprayed foam in them to insulate. Not good. Most people would have parted her out......Ray

 

Your custom Town Panel quarters look good, reminds me of what I did on my '59 Edsel. It's tough when no replacment parts are available.

 

Ray, you may have started out to build a car and share your ideas, but whats come out of it is one of the best threads I've ever seen here on the HAMB or on any forum I visit!

Keep us updated on the car, after all its not done yet... and on your future builds.

Congraduations for your excellence!

 

So i did a little more on the poupe, I stretched the hood at the front 2 1/2" and louvered a couple rows. Now to make it a one piece lift off hood. Ray

 

that is nice, love those louvers

 

Thanck you for inspiring and shareing

 

Trick my friend, Trick!

 

That is an understatement, to say the least...

I've got to admit, when I saw the first few posts I thought "no way will this turn out well" and just dismissed it...now I regret not subscribing.

This was really inspiring to read from start to finish...Incredible dedication. You'll never have to worry about seeing another one, that's for sure.

Beautiful job...

 

Ray nice job on the one that never was

 

Ray, Your Poupe (can't get use to that term . . !) is looking Great ! Keep us updated. Looks like you are getting real close.

Working on some racing scoops on the 36 mopar front axle.

 

and well done! I've been following along and glad to see what's become of your poupe.

 

Please keep the thread going. It is inspiring.

 

Went to the boy's here in Oregon city and picked up some Hurst pie crust race tires. Cool!

 

do your our louvering?

 

do your own louvering?

 

The rear deck lid is louvered on a flat panel with a turret punch and then welded to a frame. Tha hood is done old school by a buddy of mine. Ray

 

a CNC turret punch?

 

yes

 

Awesome. No criticisms to levy here. GOOD to see the POUPE on new shoes!!!

(Any thoughts yet RE color, Ray? Sometimes I think those of us who've followed your build thread PUSH you too hard. But, seems like you are up to it!)

 

Ray, Your coupe is coming along great. Won't be too long and you will be out on the highway in your coupe.
