Projects New Project - The 3B Speed Shop 34 Coupe

I was able to come up with original Ford parts for the rear section, and a repro part for the center. The front and the subrails just got patched where needed.

 

Flipped the floor for paint.

 

Saturday was blasting day.

 

A freshly blasted cowl on a freshly painted floor. Starting to see some progress.

 

Next step, converting the four door lower b pillar to a coupe b pillar.

 

.. oh man. Too good !!

 

Go man go this is a cool project

 

Nice Work!

 

Not letting any grass grow, good work!

 

Doors tack welded to the cowl.

 

It's nice that the lower door post came from this floor, so I could mount them back in the exact location.

 

I knew this was coming, but it still hurt my feelings a little...

 

Time to mount the top...

 

The five window door tops are tacked in place.

This might actually work

 

Gonna be nice. Will be looking for future posts to follow along.

 

Go man go!
Great save. Did you say that those are Fordor doors? With the chop it's a non issue, but look like 'em to me.
Subscribed!

 

Front fordor doors, with 5 window coupe door tops.

 

Dang, you’re good!
Now I see what you needed those trunk hinges for.

 

I just sit here shaking my head in amazement. You made this from that >>>>>

 

It's as easy as building a model car. Just break the pieces off the plastic trees, shave the flashing off, and apply a smidgeon of glue.....

Bad ass build!

 

awesome work, coming together nicely...

 

Man, this takes me back.

 

Admiring what you have accomplished and trying to convince myself not to be to envious.

 

You sir have an amazing sense of adventure... I'm getting a kick out of comparing the 1st photos with the last!

 

whata great talent !!!!!
