The Million Dollar Question: 3W or 5W?

Def a 5 Window!

 

I love a clean 3 window, but faced with the choice I'd go with the 5 window, without hesitation.

 

5 Window -- All the way!!!

 

3W for sure, I'm going to take heat for this I'm sure but I have always thought that the 5W body lines are just to 'plain'.

 

if you look at my album you might conclude incorrectly. this is like which kid would i choose! personally i believe a full fendered 3w with substantial rake ,otherwise stock appearing body is the epitome of hot rods, even more than the deuce roadster (maybe geographic raised in upstate NY). i would be forever grateful to receive either. let me know if you need shipping address.

 

would rather have a model A five window than a duece three window. Five window 32, 33, 34 fords or bust for me.....my honest opinion Jive

 

Chopped, full fendered, 5W like I'm putting together.

 

makes sense to me!

 

I'll take a 3 Window

Like this:




or like a '32 that I think is certainly a benchmark of great '32s...Doyle Gammel's:




There are just way too many that I like.

 

I'd take the 5wd - & chop the cowboy hell out of it.

 

3 Window for me but can you make it 33 or 34?

 

5 window, wouldnt even have to think about it before the decesion was made.

 

3 window and make it a 35 please

 

To me, a 3W with a nasty chop and Hot Flatty just screams HOT ROD!

 

I'd take the fiver, but what I really like about this thread is the many opinions about the way they'd build either choice to their tastes. Variety keeps this hobby interesting! Hotrodding is a good marriage of creative art and engineering.

 

I'd go with the 5 window, but the real decision would be on which way to go with it.Fendered or fenderless.I'll cross that bridge if I 'm ever there.I'll include a couple of pics of my faves.

 

5 please, and when do I get it?

 

Well, i ain't the only deuce owner to reply and I own a 5 window but I gotta admit the 3 windows are easier to get in and out of. HRP

 

Have to vote for the three window.

 

3 window without a doubt

 

this question makes my brain hurt!! I can't decide.

make it black and full fendered and just suprise me since I'd take either.

 

I've had 5 window A's-so I would have to try something different. I vote 3 window!!

 

Three window, just so I wouldn't confuse the experts.

5 window.. all day

 

This is really hard. I really have to think about what build style I would follow through with. Like most guys on here I agree with 3 window - fenderless/hammered/slight channel, and 5 window - fenders/slight chop/and cutting the weeds with the front bumper (yes it would have full bumpers). But, than I second guess myself, how about switching around the recipe? Doing things a bit different.

I'm not sure if I can make a decision. I'm a sucker for stock suicide doors, and the 3- windows look bitchin' in every form, but I'm going with 5-window.....I think

 

3 window for me

 

HRP
I didn't even think about suicide doors being easier to get in and out of, and that is something I should be thinking about.

You didn't mention it in the article. Is it OK if I make the doors open backwards?

 

i am not sure if i would fit in a three window, but i sure could try. i like 3

 

It's gotta be a three window, cause i just bought a five window and then i would have both !

 

5 window with flatty, fenders, boards and a mild drop axle with rubber rake. Saving the three window for the year '34'.
