Hot Rods Just finished '34 Ford 5-Window, Sachse Rod Shop

You might remember a post I made in November '06, we had just gotten this car in for a rebuild. It was a pretty cool old hot rod that had been parked since 1970, owned by the same people since. Original frame, dropped axle, chromed backing plates, y-block, etc. A pretty cool but pretty worn out car.

The owners brought it to us for a complete rebuild. TCI chassis, Warmed over small block and 700R4. Yeah, I know it's not what everyone would have liked for the car, but it's what they wanted. They are going to drive the car as much as they can and need the reliability. Regardless of the underpinnings, the car turned out extremely nice and is one of the best cars I think the shop has ever built.

 

Very nice!! Great job!!!

 

WOW, I'm sure they are excited!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!! NO, tilt, no, digital, other than that I don't see any thing wrong with his choices. IMO>

 

im sorry. let me wipe the drool from my lips.

 

I wouldn't have touched that original paint...

the car did turn out very nice...

 

looks great...

 

Normally i would say the same & couldnt agree more but this time its WOW...Very very nice job!

 

Very Nice!!!!

 

That pic with the new rims and WWW on the orignal car kicked ass!!

I personaly would have left it with the new rims and tire and the original paint but it's not my car and the owners can do as they please...but sure turned out nice that's for sure!!

Nice job!!

 

That paint looks flawless! Very nice.

 

looks great, I love the color.

 

Hubba hubba!!!

 

That is a whale of a job of turning an old neglected car into an on-the-money just modern enough piece for the ages. Nice work, I'm sure the owner is ecstatic!

 

Nice!!!

 

that car is beautiful...very VERY nice work!!!! any pics on of the engine?

 

Let me real my jaw and tongue back up!!! Man that is the KATZ ASS!!! Nice job!!!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. I didn't do a bit of work on the car though I tried to influence it as much as I could!

I'll have some more pictures tomorrow, the work computer was acting up at the end of the day.

Actually, that picture is right before the car was blown apart for paint after all the fabrication had been done, and the car was on the new chassis.

Every bit of work on this car was done in house at Sachse. The fabrication and assembly was done by Jim Wall, bodywork and paint by Anthony Goodman, interior by Mike Millsap.

 

Impeccable! You should be proud.

 

very nice work, glad to see it got a update

now drive the wheels off the thing

 

What is the color?

 

great looking rod why did ford make a soft roof back then, was it too save metal or what?

 

Came out great, guys. Extra bonus points to Fidgiter for giving credit to the guys in the shop...

 

It's a 2006 Mitsubishi color, Sunset Pearlescent. Or something like that. Basecoat, clearcoat.

 

Very nice over the top

 

yeah it would have been cool to hand buff out the original paint, and drive it a little. It is a super nice hot rod. Gonna be fun this summer. I like em all, short, fat, skinny, and tall.

 

They(ford) couldn't make the panel.

Also, the car looks AWESOME. I've always loved '34 Fords.

 

Great car...the owners have to be pleased!! There are still lots of old rods tucked away, waiting to see daylight again.

 

way to ruin a perfect survivor.........tilt column and all..........wow. gay.

 

I always figured you to be a more open minded person....yeah yeah, ruined the car, killed it's soul, raped it, whatever. I guess it could have just sat in the garage for another 40 years adding more dust to it's collection. Can't please everyone.

 

just my opinion...i am very open minded, but hell the hamb is full of shit talking so i might as well join right? ...it coulda been out and driving how it was.....

and yes it is very bitchin!, just coulda started off with a differant car.....
