Post pics of phaetons- Lets see the tubs!!!

NICE ride D. Scott...got more pictures?

 

Its Rolling now, Time to start on the steering...

 

why all the conv sedans in this post?

 

Agreed. Not the same thing.

 

My project,as of yesterday..hood still needs to be reworked to fit.

 

These are 2 tubs I built 33 years apart. The funny thing is they came out of the mold about the same time. The red one has a 289 Ford engine, built in 1978. The orange one is my new one, completed last year.

 

They don't get any love..................poor things .

 

Its been a few months since there has been an update to this thread.Heres mine,almost on the road...

 

man that turned out great!whenever you ready to get rid of it i will trade my plymouth in a heartbeat!

 

Is a cut-up sedan still a Phaeton? If so I know where there's a good body.

 

Thats got to be one of the best looking model A phaetons EVER!!! Dude you SO nailed the stance and chop!!! I'm in love!!!

 

Thanks man!..The posts are getting replaced with folding 2" chopped posts and matching windshield soon...

 

Thanks Glendale...I'll keep ya in mind if the time comes

 

This is a pic of my 1929 Pontiac Phaeton
I have torn it down since this photo, its getting a 216 chevy engine backed by a full synchro 60's falcon 3 speed, 19" chevy spokes and 40 chevy drums.
Hope to post some more pics when i get a bit more done over summer...

 

Here is ours. I am at a cross roads with it. I always Love the look of a stock Phaeton , but I think I discovered I like them when they are owned by someone else. So , I either make it a mild Hot Rod ,Dropped axle , big and little's, no horns , BLC lights , Chopped windshield /black top . or I sell it ?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ?????????????????

 

Who remembers the "chick magnet"?

 

Here is mine. Its tub n da dirts old car that I got from continental john.

 

Mines in the classifieds, would look good in your garage....

 

Someone needs to buy yngrodders so I can quit thinking about it.

 

Maybe build a second chassis for it...you know, low down sinister, bad ass. Keep the stock chassis as intact as possible and store it until you realize you'll NEVER put it back on the stocker. Then sell the extra chassis to a restorer. Are there any of those guys left?

 

My Tourer - been a fun year so far...

 

Is that a T on an A frame and fenders? Too cool.

 

I can play now!



...it going to be an early-postwar build. Think 20-year old car prepped for weekends at Murroc. Not too fancy, but no where near ratty.

 

Here's a few of my buddy Gary's 26 T, Nailhead powered!
