That is so awesome!!!!! I have to ask, is your dad still around? I lost mine before I could get done.

 

Pictures are to cool.

 

Thanks and back atya, Like said above, pictures are too cool!! Thanks for sharing them.

 

Latest Update.. setting at Upholstry shop.. should be out soon.

 

Your car is beautiful. Funny how you get bit by the 34 bug and it lasts a lifetime. you mentioned the Bonnie and Clyde car, and we kids were small, there was a two semi-trailer caravan parked at the Value-Village in Paducah KY. way back in the 60s. One of them held Hitler's limo and the other held the Bonnie and Clyde death car. I remember my Dad giving us kids each 2 qtrs. and you could tour them for a donation. I was about the age of you on the running board pic, and already loved the B & C story, so I went on that trailer and gave my 50c to the guy. I thought the lines of the car were so cool, lots of bullet holes, of course, but the car was like new at the time, paint and chrome wise. I cant see any 34 Ford without remembering that day, Keep up the good work.

 

Pardon my French - damn nice car - a true labor of love and dedication - been watching this one too - I've got one too but alas it has Matchbox stamped on the bottom. Keep up the good work.

Oh yea, drool time again

 

Yeah, they look good but I was denied entrance to a 'Traditional Hot Rod' (pre-65 style) show because of also having A/R TT2 wheels on my similar coupe. Cars with box-new A/R 'TTO' or 'Salt-Flat' wheels were not questioned. Splitting-hairs, if you're into that.

Early shot of not yet completed trunk.. This is a view of the false panel that can be removed to expose more storage and the battery compartment. Chrome T-handles are to hold the panel. No Carpet yet and some clean up to do.

 

Interior color compliments the dark blue nicely. Great job Jack

 

Very cool! good choice

 

Looks very good nice color choice.

 

Your car is outstanding, everything about it is well thought out and executed. Beautiful color choice on the interior also, I wouldn't change a thing.

 

So kind of you to say... Appreciate that i.rant. Just trying to maintain the look that Henry would appreciate. (although he would scoff at the driveline but most of that is hidden.

 

Very nice, bet Edsel would like the drive train though!

 

Seat Pleats ..4" same as original 34 seats.

 

Oh @#$%!!! I thought it couldn't get any better but, it does. Tim

 

Hi 34dlx:
Great 34. The midnight blue and medium brown interior is classicly beautiful. Some nice work on the stitching. Thanks. TEB

 

Real leather!!! Wow, that's gonna be nice. Great color choice also.

 

Hi 34dlx:
Thanks for the color update. It is a nice combo and the style of pleating and finishing fits your build beautifully. TEB

 

I can not wait till you get the interior done. I am installing brown interior in my Dark Blue Plymouth. My color is more like your lighter picture. I can see the true color of your interior in the armrest picture. You are doing a great job on the car and I love how it is coming together. I hope someday mine will be finished. Thank you for the inspiration.

 

Midnight Blue/light Maroon interior... Quick Release pins for access to the battery and hidden compartment.

 

Looking good!!! Love the seat.

 

Very nice! Looks classy.

 

Mmmmmmm!

 

Coming along very nicely indeed! Timeless

 

Leaving Upholstery shop... glad it can come home.. Phil, the Upholster and a friend that help load it for the trip home.
