glad i fell upon this thread. love tubs, and my brother might be acquiring one soon, so looking for some ideas.

 

Well got the phaeton in the garage so now work will begin first of year.
showed my passengers how to climb up in there seats today.
updates soon
thanks Brian

 

OHV set up on the 4, 16" wires (KH would be nice), trade the "spare well" fenders for smooth ones, not sure that I would even lower it. Just suggestions....

 

Is that Steve Beck's car?

 

phaeton from the swap meets at portland and Monroe,uh and E-BAY outa the dusty chaimbers of an ol chopper/hodrodder's mind, and some completed projeces...ya gotta hit pictures to see:

halfast....cool

 

Soon to go under the knife in my shop.

This finished one kills me.

 

Forgot to add. Building together with Uncle Buck. This one is his currently getting a new chassis and other upgrades in my shop.

 

keep the phaeton pics coming........

 

I posted a while back about wanting one someday, well someday came and here I am.
I got this as a body only and put a coupe chasis I had underneath it, just had to find a home for the coupe. I put a T spring in the rear, reversed eye in the front, found fenders, wires, and am just sorting out the motor. Great news is the brakes work pretty good and it came with doors. Lots of bodywork to go, but I'm gaining on it.

Your Touring car is beautiful, and I love the colors.


I have similar passengers to yours, and that's why the Tub and not the Roadster I traded for this. if or as you get doubles of stuff you don't need can you keep me in mind. My car needs alot of the little pieces and as you know they are hard to come by.

TERPU...wow...cool
keep you in mind.
here is another shot.I will be working on ride height this weekend

 

Some discussion above about the quality of repro rear body panels for 28/29 A phaetons. Is there only one manufacturer of that rear panel? If more than one, who makes the one closest to the real Henry?

 

Hey, just found this thread. D'ya mind if I join in?
My tub...




Recently lunched the crank in the banger (see my avatar), so may be getting a 21-stud soon. Also may trade up to a '28/'29 phaeton body.

 

ARTIKI- More the merrier
your tub is great....

 

My dream tub would look like this except it'd have 15x7 and 14x6 peak-spoke '60s Torq Thrusts with pinstripe whitewalls, a '65 Vette FI 327 and 4-speed and the top would be white.

 

The rest of us too, no doubt! This is my other dream tub.

 

Cool thread
had a tub,back when i was a young man,more passengers more fun.
Good luck to all with the builds

 

some Phaetons pictures, ford ,and other models

 

I love the Rotten's Tub! Where is the Green one on the bottom from?

Tim

 

I found the green one on a google search
its nice...

 

Wow! that is one nice Knock Down Phaeton body, one problem though, I think the steering box is on the wrong side? What's the history on the body?

 

The body came to the US in the 60's I believe. Owned for years by Coy Thomas and then even longer by Bill Stiles. I bought it as a complete car a couple of years ago. It's just waiting it's turn for a make-over. It's a very nice tub, all in all. US chassis, pretty complete w/a top, fenders, hood, grille/shell and a lot of small parts etc.

 

Here's mine... got it for $200 also, but with an extra cowl and firewall... but I think I got a great deal! And here's something along the line of what I plan on doing with it... Long live the TUB!

 

cgwarrant... nice score keep us posted on the build
good luck Brian

 

Here are a couple pics of Lucky Burtons Phaeton(Old Crow speed shop)
He posted these cool pics yesterday on his thread and I stole them.. thanks Lucky
great Phaeton...

 

.........NEW STANCE.....
I pulled the model a suspension and dropped it down a bit with some wheels and tires
at all four corners. The new stance is about 2 1/2 lower
what do you think?????

 

like it....if it would be mine the next step would be steel wheels and a chopped windshield.

Really curious which way you'll be heading.

 

Well thanks, here is the other side. kind of hard to get a side profile shot in the garage.

 

I will be hauling my kids around so I scored a trunk for all the stuff...

 

Hey Good job brian,cant wait to see some more progress.
