Re: My first real 33 ford Coupe
This car was pretty perfect when I first got it, no patch panels no rust no dents.....It was pretty nice.

Re: My first real 33 ford Coupe
As I stated before in the other thread I think it's awesome!!!! It sucks to cover up that engine with a hood top but I always think Model 40's look better with a hood then without.
Tell us a little about the engine. Is it an original Ardun Conversion? Any cool back story on how you found it? How'd you get hooked up with Rudy? Looks like it's going to be a stunner!!! How about showing some of your other cars when you get a chance

Re: My first real 33 ford Coupe
We are in process of a one piece hood as we speak.......Original hood welded into one piece and spring loaded and locked so it will not rattle or move at those very high speeds......no sides and a small rise in the center to help air flow with the Ardun.....
The Blisters need to be cut for the heads to clear and then rolled over, I will post pic's when done with them.....Still trying to get a handle on the posting pic's....Soon Scott

Re: My first real 33 ford Coupe
Same story as all the others on the shop's We come there they suck we leave....I was at another shop and the builds were getting bigger, the builder was starting to tell me how to build my car. When I wanted to get other shops involved that had certain trades with respect to fabrication, the shop got pissed that they would have to share the spot light......I pulled the car.
It seems that builders want to build the car they want and don't listen to what you want, I think they hear and then they start trying to make it better for you. Builders want to have their name on builds that have big potential. I do understand that but at the same time want to make sure that the car I want to build is being built. In the end it about how much they can bill you. I kept hearing Rudy's name and just called the shop one day, then called again, and again and again......until one day he called back. Here we are three cars later....... Rudy lets me tell him what I want, if I am wrong, he tells me and if I am right he goes with it.....He's got a great style and a perfect understanding of this type of car........Very easy to work with.......

Cool, Rudy has to be my favorite builder out there. It just seems like every car he's done that I've seen has been spot on and perfectly aligned with my tastes. Shit I didn't know I could love a '40 Merc that much until I seen the Hoffman car. He's just got a great eye for this and the talent to see it through. Definitely inspiring to say the least.... I'm just starting to collect things for my '33 and I've got a lot of stuff to get started so it's nice to see cars like this popping up to get me going. My ultimate find would be a S.Co.T blower but that's outta my price range but I'm trying to go for an earlier 40's build so really it'll make more sense to use the intake that I have. Keep us posted! |
