•••BUILD THREAD: SUGAR CITY SPL 1933 Ford Comp Coupe ROAD To ROG•••

No....yes....Kinda. I've got the engine in and the suspension under it and am just waiting on a new set of tires and wheels to be powdercoated before is can rest on it's own 4 feet. I'll start another thread soon. I gotta take some pics.

Thanks!! I hope I don't disappoint you now that I've completely changed directions on the coupe since I missed ROG. Good news I am building it once and for all instead of half ass-ing some things just to get it done on time. Little more mild but still pretty mean. Stay tuned!

 

Uh.. Changing directions?

Man. Am I behind or what..

Be sure to post a link to the new thread on here so those of us who are subscribed to this thread won't miss it.

 

Here we are 3-4 months later and still no update. Give me a few more days and I'll start a new NON ROG 33 thread. Got quite a few things lined up so I can make steady progress all summer long!

Getting '35 ready for summer then switching back to the 33.

 

A year plus later..... still nowhere even remotely close. I started chopping it last October and that I have done besides collect more parts for it. Let's just write off the whole ROG plans at this point since it would take a real concerted effort to make it there even 2016. Anyways, I thought I would leave you where I ended last week.... I need my inner @flatnasty to come out!

 

Lookin good,Jeffery

 

Looks cool to me.

 

Love it.

 

You should sell it.....................
To me!

 

Very sharp

 

Great chop Jeffrey.

 

looks good wish it was mine

 

Very nice

 

More please.....

 

Jeff, It is looking great to me.....Love the chop on it. Just keep on trucking along with it and before you know it will be done.

 

JJ — looks right on the money to me!!! Nice job of getting the profile correct.

 

Here's a few more images off my IG. Thanks so much guys for the support!

 

I don't know man... those wire wheels kill the whole vibe.

 

@Ford Mike. Shut up. I'll put the Lyons caps on it until I switch over if you'll come down and assist me.

 

@general gow yours is far too nice and you are far too tall to cut it! I'm stoked about yours!!! Your Dad would have loved the direction you're going I bet!!!

 

What you did with the chop is spot on!

I am about to do something similar with mine, but I'm not taking material out of the rear, but shortening the roof & leaning the A pillars back! (It's already been chopped... to my disliking.)

Keep up the great work! It's an inspiration to us all!

 

Looks perfect from Kanada.

 

Agreed!

Don't. You. Dare.

 

You know I'll drop anything to save a car from wire wheel hell. Give me a time and a place and I'm there!

 

The chop is 1000 times better now!!!! Looking great buddy!!!!

 

Damn that's looking good.

 

I worked on it a bit more Sunday. I got the doors opening and closing real good and the gaps within reason. Then I tacked in the lower windshield to match the lean on the side windows. I ran into a snag when I made the cuts at top front corners to kick the a pillars out but thanks to @thunderbirdesq I think I know where my issue is.

Anyways I threw the windshield in to see what the peep hole with look like once it's all finished. I'm pretty stoked on where it's all headed.....

 

Love the proportions! I like the wire wheels as well, just think it needs more tire rake. Nice work!

 

What a great looking chop! Bob

 

I went with 6.00's up front to combat the extra length in wheel base. Little chunkier then what most people do but I like it.
