What is that, that your building. I don't recognize it, but I like it.

I can see it's going to be a little tight around the steering

“The Withers Special” 1934 Ford Tudor turned into a heavily chopped, channeled, sectioned and pancaked Bonneville style 3 window coupe.

 

I guess you gotta start some where and mock up is the way to go...

 

2009, Mocking up my hood and top. Masking tape, 1/8" MDF, some plywood, and particle board running boards.

 

My for sale pic.

 

is this a cut down sedan ?

 

It is a coupe with the rear removed and a hand build back section constructed.
From what I know mine is one of two in existenance.
Got the coupe body for cheap, as the back section was a basket case, so I decided to create a pickup with a little extra legroom.
Body work was done in Erie CO.
Its become a long term project, but I will see home base next year I think...

Chassis can be seen in video link below.

 

Just an idea for my kids old pedal car and some lawn mower parts.

 

Hopefully past mockup to “pre-assembly” stage.

 

Just a little past this.

 

Great thread! I'm lovin' it. Here's my contribution....

 

Been mocked up several years after having to cut away side mounts from the frame due to someone else’s miss calculation’s. Engine is sitting on a 1/2” worth of 1/8” shim’s per support of a Hurst front mount. 2023 should be the year for getting back on this thing.

 

We were able to get our flatpack basket case 29 roadster body bolted together sat.

 

I dragged out some parts a while back during a clear our / tidy up session to see it there was enough to consider a revamp on my old coupe .. The trouble is I cant bring myself to rip the heart and soul from the old fella.

@Koz I was VERY skeptical when you said you were removing the top from one of the best looking body styles ever made. Now, I see your vision. Keep it going.

 

it's been a while, but this is what it looked like mocked up.
