How about the most radical, hamb friendly 32-4 coupe ever?

I'm wanting to do a 32-4 coupe in a truly jaw dropping, shock value way. Not ratty, super nice, but over the top. Need a few ideas. Anyone got a car that hits home here?

If anyone is capable of doing something over the top it you Jim. HRP

 

Just saw a 31 coupe over the weekend that was sporting a blown V-12 from a Zephyr. That's a nice start!

 

That will be a tough one, the HAMB is full of those already. Subscribed though...

 

Guy Ruchonnet's '34 coupe was/is pretty radical:

 

Trying to out do yourself are ya?
Ever consider trying to make a underdog, (genrally considered ugly car by commoners), radically cool?

Chop the crap out of it for starters!

 

Tough to beat this.....

 

I'm kind of thinking more
Mods,

Jim Jacobs' coupe is bad ass

 

Street driven car?
Still look like a '34
Not necessarily traditional?
Just food for thought. Tim

I think that bottom pic is a scan from a magazine. I remember cutting it out and taping on the wall in my bedroom. Late 80's, early 90's maybe?

 

Radical? This one tops the list!

 

A Kaase boss 9 hemi head ford is as traditional looking as any
Thing.After all it's a ford motor.If you build an over the top car..build an over the top motor.

 

I think you could pull off a show rod theme. Chopped, hard channel, canted headlight horse collar style grill, 6 deuce anything motor, straight pipe non collector headers straight back, 58 chev taillights maybe some rear pan styling, tinted blue plexi roof insert, candy blue to pearl white fade, shrome front end on mini coilovers, chrome rear, chrome reverse wheels.

 

Is it done yet?

I look forward to what you come up with.

 

How the hell are you gonna beat yourself?

I'm thinking about a 6" chop, 3" channel, a little wedge section and narrowing it up by 3". Chop off the back and put a set of 41 international hoods up front. All of this will be done on a 34 ford 3w coupe. I just need to finish my willys first.

With your skills, it'll look terriffic.

The PPE started out as a coupe with the back cut off. Have you considered starting with a '34 Ford 4-door sedan? It would aleviate the need to chop off the back. Probably cheaper too.

The nose treatment sounds alot like the Chrisman/ Barris/ Dobie Gillis coupe and the more recent Woodward Special roadster.

 

A couple of pictures to get the creative juices flowing...

 

The 15 oz. Coupe, buckle up!

 

I'm not chopping off the whole back. Just the last 4".

Channel it the width of the frame -- early V8 coupes lend to a nice deep channel so well.

 

It's refreshing to see you back posting, especially when you announce about a new build. You don't need any input from us......................your previous work more than speaks to your talent of taking lemons and making lemonade. If you haven't already got the beast finished be sure to take along for the ride..............................pictures, pictures,pictures.
