Hot Rods 34 ford 3w made entirely from junk!

Got any hood sides from a 37 Chevy truck?
Only 2 Louvers to sand

 

I’m wondering if smooth sides will trap to much heat. I want to drive this thing around, and there’s not a lot of room for a radiator.

 

Well, I’m going with the louvers,as much as I hate them, they are junk laying in the yard and that fits the build.

 

Hot rod ingenuity at it best!

 

I can't seem to finish anything from good parts let alone "junk".............................

 

Some guys take a pile of perfectly good parts, then toss a bunch of new stuff in the mix and cannot build themselves anything but “JUNK”

Wildman Sibley here does things a little different

 

LOUVERS.

You can do it!

 

Why do I hear rob Schneider’s voice when you say that?

 

Chevy hood sides!

 

Those look pretty good.

 

Very primitive mock-up hood side, with louvers. I think I like it.

 

awesome looks. Very talented.

 

Jim, not only do you have talent, but you also have imagination. I appreciate your ability to make silk purse out of many pigs ears.

 

... I like Jim Sibley's definitions of "primitive".

Hood cut & fitted with body line.

Mine would be cardboard with Sharpie stains on my face & fingers.

 

So

 

That looks bad ass. Do you have a front view?

 

Move grill up to line up with body line.

 

Aboner, that’s exactly what I thought. I’m going to raise the grill line to match the top of the side vents.

 

Hey Jim,
How the hell are you getting him in there?

Car looks like a bad ass
That particular louver set up ain’t doing it for me though. Thought you were doing a 35 truck hood ? Those look too much like shutters or gym lockers.

 

Sorry, my bad, 1936 ford truck hood sides, not 1935. Like I said they were just junk laying on the ground in my back yard.

 

1935 truck would be nice, with the swoopy louvers, but I think they are to tall, and these were free, and in my pile already.

 

Here is a pic of the front view. I’m thinking of changing the grill area a little. We will see.

 

That things badass, i wanna drive it

 

Me too! I’m hoping to drive it to work every day in the summer.

 

Go Jim Go!!!

 

That's almost depressing lol, work- summer I'm ready for summer...

 

I am thinking of ditching the front grill work, maybe going with a Chrisman brothers front, but with a small air scoop in it.

 

Would like to see that with a Packard(ish) grill center

 

I’m thinking of an oval opening, sunk in and smoothed out kind of like an old airplane cowling only oblong.
