How to cut ´34 Tudor to look like a Coupe

re: cutting a 1934 Tudor to make it look like a 3 w Coupe.. terrible torturing of the poor old Henry...


Hello! Please advice, what are my biggest problems with this kind of project, I have located repro rear quarters, trunk lid etc.sheetmetal but I would like to use the Tudor top and just cut it and make modifications to make it fit.

I do not have a chance to check a real coupe to make measurements, but I assume the rear section of the top and rear window area will need heavy modifications to fit into "rear clip" of the Coupe...

It would be great if someone who has done this before would send some photos and advices...


Thank You in advance...




(I´m not worried of the difficulty of the job, I have 25 years of experience in bodywork but cutting a ´34 is something that I have never done before...
-Just couple of days ago I purchased this Tudor from CA and getting it up to Finland to my garage will take couple of months so I have good time to make plans...).
