Projects My first real 33 ford Coupe

Man Scott, the suspense is killing me. I actually considered driving up to Brea to see it in person, lol

 

Well it's happening now

 

Ok we cut it......here are some pics that I took while Rudy cut that mother.....Small chop 3/14, don't want a crazy chop, thats been done. I went for the trim......

 

A little "TRIM" off the top and we look like this....

 

3/14" That is small! Looks rad!!!

 

I bet that's close to what mine's chopped only they took a little less out of the back......which is why I want to redo it.

 

Whats left to do.....The rest of the whole thing, lean back the A pillar and lean forward the top of the A pillar......Cut into the back and put it all together......about three weeks worth of work. The engine is all done and the rear end is all done......

Scott

 

Glad to see it's only a conservative chop! Looking good.

 

thank you so much for not doing an angle wedge micro windshield chop on it...i mean , they are cool,but becoming a lil overdone..., the one Rudy did years ago was awesome...but glad to see there was restraint...looks beautifull...

 

Yes, I don't want a chop thats been done over and over again and don't like the look of a radical chop, at least for me. I like it to just take the pop off the original the ford did.....It's a shame I waited this long, because the frame is powder coated and the rest if the parts are all plated and sitting on the table. Engine and rear end over on there stands.......Were waiting now.

 

Its does have a clean look and cant wait to get it done and drive that ****.....

 

That pic was taken before I put on the "Kinmonts"

 

Perfect chop for that car. It's going be a masterpiece.

 

Very nice. Amazing how much a Model 40 benefits from having the lid lowered a little bit.

Side by side look.

 

That is just one mean looking mother....

 

Rudy did her right! Nicely proportioned. The car is going to be a killer!

Too heavy a chop on a car looks worse than a "too tall" stock roof.

 

Late for work but wanted to post these...will post more later

 

Spot-on! IMHO

 

Tasteful chop. That car is gonna be *****in.

 

Trying to get a run started in So Ca........

"Lets Go And Get Some ****"

 

How does Rudy get anything done with such a cluttered shop....? DAM that place is spotless.

 

Xmas came early this year when Ferguson dropped off the engine.....The chop is coming along good......Truck to pay for the rest of the car.....33 ford roadster, very nice truck.

 

One more of the engine....

 

very nice, getting closer.engine looks awesome

 

That engine is so killer looking, I can't believe it!

 

I would give my left nut to have this motor

Glad you decided on the chop. It just looks so much sleeker with a chop.

 

Engine looks fantastic.

Rudy does wonderful work.

Looks like everything is in hand, but on my 33 the oil filler is very close to the firewall. It may be that the finned casting you have could be turned 180 degrees??? It looks like it slopes ngently to the rear. If it does, if it could slope gently to the front without touching anything it might be useful.
