Bob Drake 40 Coupe photos wanted...

Please attach any photos of Bob Drakes new 40 Ford Coupe here...

 

don`t have any photos, but i saw it at grns and was surprised to see how poorly the tops of the doors fit the body!

 

I took these at GNRS last month. Its a Drake body that Hollywood Hot Rods is building as the Street Rodder tour car.

 

Damn Hot Rodders, start out with nice new steel and then hack it all out.
Looks like the top of doors are pulled out a little.

 

Hears a Henry Ford 40 Ford

 

Yeah I have a Henry built 40 Ford Coupe (in pieces). I just wondered how well the reproduction bodies were looking. Im from the middle coast (KANSAS) so we won't see one in person for awhile. I was really bummed that the Street Rodder tour car was going to be independent up front along with other upgrades. Im not against independent cars I just prefer beam cars.

 

Check their web site www.bobdrake.com
From there you can order their catalog and there is plenty of info there with pix.

 

Yeah I've been to their website but I just hoping someone took real photos.

 

Have they peaked the top and trunk lid or am I looking at a paint line down the center of the body?

 

I put my ear all the way up to the computer screen but I still can't hear anything...

 

its paint, looked like 1 side in primer, 1 side bare metal

 

No pictures but from what I've seen and what I've heard I'd like to do a complete reproduction '40 coupe (standard). Only deviation would be the all Chevy drivetrain. I've got a new crate ZZ4, a new Doug Nash 5spd or a new 700R4 for a trans and a new set of Halibrands still in the box. It would have to be black w/flames ands nose down ground scraping stance.

hope these come out, i have more as his project moved forward.

 

hey look--it's a cutaway of a moonshine runner

 

Dennis Carpenter had the almost finished body a Louisville. Now that he has taken over the project maybe something will get done!
