Projects Progress on Rocky's 34 coupe..last update 9/30/2020

Good to see some more progress.

 

Wow Rocky,,that drawing is just plain *****in! HRP

 

Love this shot!!!

 

I am with you Ed, that is a great photo.

 

Indeed it is! Nothing like a 33-34 Ford coupe in progress!

 

Looking good! Rock on!

 

Keep it up.. The devil is in the details, I chopped my car in the mid 90's and just cut the moldings. I have also been fitting the dash, cut the windshield frame, got it swinging...Tough to see progress at this stage.

 

Wow! Twenty pages!

What a ride!

Thanks for sharing, Rocky!

 

You guys are nailing it.

 

I bought a 32 5 window circle car that was attacked with the flame saw,, I am also a glutten for punishment. A better body just wasn't going to happen for me,, in my price range. I have a 34 3 window in a pile from about 20 different cars, with my hopes of finishing both,, and driving both.
I'm only 72 years young,, so it is very possible. I am drawing enthusiasm from your build,, keep it going.

 

Lookin good!!!

 

Last week Jimmy and I made up a cool back window water drain pan from 18 gauge. Rolled a couple beads in it for effect and strength. Tonight we drilled both ends of it [stock 34s only drained on one side] and welded a pair of old early Pontiac V/8 heater hose ******s in the corners for drains. I'll clamp a pair of lengths of heater hoses to them after I prime/paint all the pieces. Gl*** isn't in the photos but it's ready to go in after paint.
NO NAME [Jim, who used to be "old car cl*** guy" or somethun similar] from Oregon City is sending me a shiny new rear window regulator for the project too...damn! I'm gonna be stylin with my new roll-down back gl***!

 

Great progress.

 

Looking good

 

You are making progress and that's always a plus,,the double drain is a good idea. HRP

 

M***aged the 34 ford/chevy dash and got paint on it. We did it in base coat-clear coat with the same paint we used on the 39 steering wheel...48 ford steering wheel paint.
Another little victory.

 

A perfect and unique look for a 34 dash!

 

Looks impressive.

 

Looking great. Couple of questions because I'm gonna be doing some of the same things soon. Can you post a better picture of how the gl*** will seal up against your chopped rear window opening. The more the better as this has me kinda stumped. I have the rear window mechanism and wood. I have yet to chop down a garnish though. Also, how are you planning to fill your fuel tank. I was mocking things up today and this is one of the things I'm working on. I posted a question up on the board about fuel filler tube. Any ideas?

 

I'll send ya a PM, Curbspeed later tonight...duty calls with the missus.

 

Looks good Rocky, still have to get over there and see it in person,,,, Tim Jones

 

Yeah, Tim. Let's get together some Tues or Fri night...meet up at Mall of the Bluffs and slide over to the body shoppe. You'll be thrilled and amazed.

 

Thanks Rocky. Keep it going.

 

Sounds Good Rocky,, I'll drag Bob (27Towner) and bring him along ,,,I'll give you a call,,,, Tim Jones

 

The wings look great on the insert!

 

I have finally seen the rocky 34 err 33, wait 33/4 hah. I can confirm that there is no photo shop witchery or smoke and mirrors, it does in fact exist!

The car and all the bits you've got waiting to go on/in it are awesome and I can't wait to see it all together leaving nothing but a roar and the smell of burnt premium for people to reminisce on.

Good seein you man

 

Update?

 

Do I see "Bush Pilot" wings on the insert? HRP

 

Rock had them on his old 33 pickup, I saved them when I sold it and sent them back to him
