Projects A 1933 Ford 5w coupe from a 4 door sedan...

You've been busy! Looking good

 

Agreed with Mr. Steve ^^^^^^- good to see you hammering away on the old girl again!!

 

Made it to Trog 2016. You'll notice a lack of pictures of the car racing again this year..Unfortunately,once again the power of the blown flattie took its toll on the clutch! I made one pass and barely made it back.This time the clutch disc basically came apart and decided to destroy the flywheel..The debris on the floor is clutch material..Oh well,thats racing! The coupe will now get more work to make it streetable and I'll return to TROG 2017 with a new race car..A roadster!

 

Man thats to bad hope you still had a good time and I'm looking forward to seeing the roadster. Hobo jim

 

current pics..Car now resides in Germany!

 

Did you keep that cool blower set up that was on it?

 

Yes!

 

I got this off another thread. I'll try to round up the facts to show respect.

I have been pondering this exact idea for quite a while now... hmmm!
Has anyone attempted it yet I wonder?

 

blind owl here on the HAMB is building one

 

5 window coupe from a 4 door sedan WOW! you're blowing my mind right now. Impressive.

 

Thanks! been a few years since i built this one..

 

I still go back and read this thread as well as Andys build. I bow down to the talent it takes to do this. The most beautiful cars ever. (And that aint the coffee talking).
Only question is whats next?

Thanks for the compliment Harley Jim. I have been collecting parts for 34 5 window coupe build. It’s going to be more 60’s styles; channeled,early Oldsmobile powered,chrome reverse wheels etc. of course it won’t be as intense as this build was but it will still be challenging.

 

Been looking for the thread from blind owl. Cant seem to find it. Anyone have a link. Thanks

I've been out of the scene for the last 7 or 8 years. Ran across this thread looking for inspiration on my '34 5W. 25 pages later.... What can I say? I'm a few years late, but great job!

 

Just read thru this build thread again. Thank you FG for including the step by step process of your work. Too many just show before and after pics.

 

Better late than never! Thanks!

You are welcome!..Like you, on these builds, I wanna see HOW they did it, not just WHAT they did!

 

Thanks for the ride and journey. You metalsmiths do amazing work. I am simply in awe of the skills.
Thank you.

 

Thanks for the kind words. It was quite a journey but so worth it! Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Working on a coupe now. It will be getting the chop too!

 

Nice

 

My 33 ford coupe from a sedan made a 2 page spread in the Trog anniversary book..Unfortunately, they credited the car to my buddy Justin Altman! Oh well, ya win some you lose some!

 

Great hot rod

 

Thanks for the bump, such a cool hot rod & an inspiration all these years on. How did the new coupe go?

 

Beautiful car!
