Hot Rods 34 ford coupe in bare metal

Mark, you are doing something good for your father by keeping that 3 window till you are at a place in your life that you can do something with it. That is some pretty sheetmetal.

Now lets get back to the regularly scheduled program, How is the five window looking?

Nice looking car, looks flawless.

 

Beautiful car, I'm sure that you will do your father proud ! Good luck with it.

 

That's a nice one all right! I particularly enjoyed the four deck lid lock tabs welded to the rear quarters.
Don't let this one get away...ever. You'll never get a chance to have a better one.

 

are you messing with us looks great john

 

sorry about your loss, but, what a beautiful car!

 

That is one beatiful body. Hope you get 2 finish it, someday.

 

That is a great looking 34 3 window. What a legacy for your Dad, and I'm sure that he is smiling down on you.

 

I don't know what you have (if anything) to protect that Simard messaged sheet metal but if it were mine I'd give it a coat of Gibbs brand penetrant. that's just too georgous a body to let the rust gremlins get to. If you dont' know about Gibb's Brand go to Roadsters.com for the full story. You won't be sorry.

Sorry for your loss, very nice car. I will probably be in the same boat before long, it looks like my father in law may be in full liver failure, and I will have to finish his 40 Chevy coupe for my wife.

 

That car looks so great(!), how can you stop the momentum now? Go man, go!!!

 

That body is SO pretty, Dave Simard is a wizard! Keep the faith, just keep plugging away on it and make your dad proud.

 

Wow.. I wish my body was that nice

 

Wow incredible metalwork! It would be nice to hang on to it and finish it.

 

Wow Mark...Stunning! There's no rush, everything in life worth a damn is worth waiting for. Do it right!

 

Sorry about your loss, I'm sure you'll make him proud. Never let that beauty get away man.

 

wow, That body looks incredible. I could just stare at it forever.

 

you can get married any time man... less talk more work

seriously tho, its gotta be hard to work on a "legacy" kinda car but i'm sure you'll do him proud man

 

There is something about a Model 40 three window that makes them look great stock or chopped - the balance seems to work out either way. Personally I prefer them stock height and full fendered.

That one is a keeper for sure and one that you should build one time and one time only. Your Dad will be riding with you in it every time you take it out, so do him proud. Take your time, do it right and do not follow fashion - that would be my advice. Timeless cars look as good twenty or thirty years down the road as they do today. They may not be 'in fashion', but they never go out of fashion. Dave Simard does beautiful work and has an eye. What does he say about the direction the build should take?

 

Your father must have been a special man. Having a body massaged by the master craftsman Simard is also special. I'm sure you will do your father right with this car.

 

I hope your Mom get's used to looking at it. I know the association must be hard for her still. And your Mom is a ruler too.

 

Screw paint... with a body that stunning, leave her bare with a clear coat.

 

Great car, General and congrats on the marriage.

 

Better look again. The (lock?, locating maybe) tabs aren't welded to the quarters,they are welded to the deck lid. That way you can remove and replace the deck lid to check your progress on fitting it to the car. I agree about not letting it go, so........................one out of two ain't bad.
