Projects A 1933 Ford 5w coupe from a 4 door sedan...

I'm curious, how did the sand get into the clutch area?

 

Cause he is in the Tornados! When they hit the sand stand back! Its about to start Flying! He did take out Mr. Bass!

 

I had starter issues with this motor(starter drive hanging up) and removed the small starter drive cover while screwing around with it. I put the cover back in place but its now missing..Must've came off during the ride down or on the beach..Getting on and off the beach course you have to go through real deep soft sand. Guess what? Tons of sand in the starter and clutch!..I mean PACKED in there!..I need to pull it apart,but there's an 1/8th mile drag race this sunday at E-town and I'm not missing it. I'll tear it apart after sunday because i am going to put the quickchange rear in it next the anyhow. The body is coming back off for model a rear crossmember modifications and i'll pull the trans then.

Thanks Jason..We did kick some butt this weekend..I am proud of how well it ran!hope to kick some more butt at Englishtown on Sunday..

 

What year rear axle are you running now George?

 

34 rear with 4:11 gears at the moment,Wyatt..I've got a 3:78 '40 rear and a rodsville QC center section that i'll be assembling soon,pics to follow..

 

Good luck this weekend, I'll be looking for updates and pics!

 

Don't forget to get some pics from the strip for us dreamers.

 

Hell yea George, beat that bitch like she owes ya money!

 

How'd you do at E town?

 

Here's some shots from E-town on Sunday..weather was iffy in the morning but we got racing in the afternoon..Lots of cool rides and not-so cool rides but it was a great time all the same. Car ran great and went a few rounds before the clutch really gave up the ghost!.72 Mph in the 1/8th mile with alot of wheelspin at the launch. I'd love to put a real rear and sticky tires on this thing just to see what it'll do with some traction! Pulling the trans probably this week to put a new clutch in for Nostalgia Drags at ATCO Raceway in 2 weeks.

Man does that thing look bad ass on the track!

 

Thanks for the videos, sure wish we could have an up close one to hear that engine. I bet she sounds great!

 

Thanks guys! The sound on the 1st video is screwed up so I had to shut it off. It sounds like nails scratching a chalkboard and you can't hear the flattie!

 

Your grandfather and father taught you well. Amazing job on this coupe.

 

Wow I was surprised to see you are selling this car looking forward to see what you are going to do next! Hobo Jim

 

Saw you have the coupe for sale, if I had the bucks I would be heading you way now! You want a 39 ford and a 51 chevy to trade???? just kidding my 11 year old would kill me if I traded of the 39 as he has already claimed it as his when he grows up......

 

Thanks Baron!

If it goes,it goes..If not,thats OK too..I've got more to do to it..I just picked up a louver punch to do the louvers on the decklid,hood and roof insert..Quickchange rear too.
Next build: I got the remains of a '33 Roadster headin my way! needs everything this one did so I can do this all over again! UGH!

Hey Jason..I'd love to see you in this car..I know it'll be in good hands!

Thanks Jim!

 

I think you have made a good decision you know what you have and the craftsmanship looks awesome also I am looking forward to more fab work to follow during the winter while I'm working on mine!

 

Jeezus, George, that friggin thing goes like a bat outa hell on the strip!! ( not too shabby in the sand either).Great videos.
TROG was a blast, great meeting you in person, and hope to cross paths if you do come north.
Good luck with that "Torrnados" crew; insanity and creativity, mixed with a boatload of talent makes them quite the bunch of bananas! Glad you're keeping the coupe! " The Old Man"
