Projects My first Hot Rod, my second post.

Great find - I'm jealous

 

Killer Find man. Clean 'er up and have a little Fun as an original

Banger/Rod.

VR&C.

 

After that you better go to a casino with that luck.

 

Nice score, dropped axle, the juice brakes, the banger would be a blast( speed equipment) buy hey it's yours now. Have fun !

 

What a find!!! We're all jealous now..... will definitely help the build time....
no waiting for patch panels that don't fit, blowing holes through rusty metal, missing parts, etc etc etc....

 

Very nice looking A Mike,for you'r firsr Hot Rod you did good. Can't wait to see what direction you go with it. Welcome to the H.A.M.B >>>>>PINCHER

 

I dont like you any more.

 

That one looks like a sweetheart. Study, study, study before you jump in and start making modifications. Have a final look in mind before you start and proceed with a firm plan and you'll have a fine traditional hot rod.

That's a sweet coupe! May I ask what year it is titled as? You have 30 front fenders and a late 31 body. Nice score. You did well!

 

It is titled as a 31.

What is the difference on the fenders, I am guessing they would have been changed.

Thanks, Mike H.

 

great car enjoy it as it is for a while make a plan and stick to it fads will change as you build it but enjoy what you have [and you have a good un].
ITS NOT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU SPEND !!!
ITS HOW MUCH FUN YOU HAVE.

 

please explain how you can tell this...

 

what a great starting point for your first build! it looks super solid, don't get spoiled as the 2nd or 3rd build won't be as easy! when you get ready to do juice brakes and have the backing plates and wheel cylinders let me know and i will suggest a way of mounting on rear w/o a lot of headaches. i have shared on here before but i can't always find things when i search!

 

Chris has a nice way to mount the m/c for the juice brakes. He put it on the passenger side and used the original brake shaft to operate it.

Here is the link with some great info:

Man are you lucky. Very nice car. Have fun with it.

 

cool start and welcome...

 

Wow. Looks solid as a rock...that sure helps to make things a little easier and enjoyable. You're stylin' now. Congrats and welcome.

 

Great start, great score - a real nice clean car. Looking forward to your updates ....

 

1930 had a 2 piece splash apron(panel below body on each side) late 31 had a indented fire wall were the fuel line comes out, Dave

 

Only 2 posts and I already hate you. Congrats.

 

Very cool !

 

man that thing is solid. good luck with it.

 

Very Nice you scored

 

id say loose the fenders, chop the top and expose that engine for the world to see! what a bad ass ride man...keep us posted on all the progress, even the smallest of things exite most of us here!

 

Good stuff! She's a beauty. Congrats and have fun.

 

The difference is the seam on the splash apron that lines up with the front of the doors. The splash apron is the curved metal between the body and the running boards and runs from the front fender to the rear fender. It hides the frame and muffler and whatever else. 1930 fenders had the small section of splash apron attached to them and 1931 didn't. 1931 had a seemless full length splash apron. Your body could be sitting on a 30 chassis that was swapped at some time during it's life.

 

You must have been verrrrrry good in a former life!
