Projects 30 Ford Coupe!! Quite the Mess

picked this little rust bucket up today but i kinda feel like i stole it for the price i paid .needs a subframe and patches the whole way around but def not the worst i have ever seen. plus im in the mood for a challenge !! more pics when i get it out of the truck!!

32 ford frame .354 hemi. chop.chrome.chrome and more chrome.

 

Based on all the other work I've seen of yours we all know it will be a work of art when you get thru with it. Todd

 

Yea, doesn't sound like a problem, Flop! Dig the plan too...

 

thanks guys!! just need a subframe and a week or so to get it solid.

 

I think its time for me to come back out for another visit to the shop to see this one up close.

 

Nice find......in this day and age, nothing like that is too far gone ...
Good for you,
Cheers,

 

is it out of the truck yet?

 

sOMETIMES the rust just appeals to you. I got a cherry one, but the rusted one . . . . I guess it's just man rooting for the underdog.

 

I approve of this plan.

 

Subscribed this thread from you too!

 

Now THAT is cool. I like it....
Thanks for posting!
Cheers.........

 

considering your talent, shouldn't be a problem

 

come on out ralph!!

still in the truck hahahah

ohhh i have a few more tricks up my sleeve as well .should really turn some heads . some pretty interesting body mods as well


cant wait to start . should have 4 As in the shop at one time if it all pans out !!

 

where's the progress pix??????????????

 

Hes probably out driving it already

 

its gettin driven around alot kool ! in the back of the truck still. but heres what im working with

 

I got alittle inside info on whats going to take place with this coupe. All I can say is its going to be sick!!! Everybody stay tuned.

 

ooohhh!!! You need parts!!!! Yeah, the hardest/most time consuming, is gathering the parts.

 

...

 

this car is a mess. looks sectioned theres so much missing from the bottom!

but hey its finally in the shop !!

 

Geeze! You "stole it",a HEMI,and your tallent......C'mon! Your killing me over here!

 

I'm thinking Cadillac power now invisible!

 

A few patch panels and subrails and it will be good as new...

 

Looks like just about what I started with except mine had a tree fall on the drivers side roof and quarter. Mine is starting to shape up but I welded in just about every patch pannel they make plus had to make a few on my own.

 

Looks like the makings of a nice rod

 

well started working on my coupe

gonna start with subrails and a firewall and work my way off of that



welded some nuts to the screws that hold the firewall to the gas tank since it was nearly impossible to get them to budge with a screw driver



firewall out



headed to the blasters tomorrow

 

Neat trick Flop!!! I usually drill 'em out and then retap 'em...

 

Just do it!!!

 

Sweet! I'm interested in seeing what you're going to do with it since it's your personal project..

 

the previous owner decided to go at the hinges with a torch for what ever reason which really makes me mad since 4 screws came out with a screw driver and a few taps with a hammer. im sure if i woulda soaked the screws with some blaster and heat the all would have came loose.



a stack of ruined hinges



all the hinges out and a pile of 1930 ford metal haha



doesnt look like much but to me its progress. firewall out .doors off and hinges off. pretty soon the cowl will go to the blasters.
