    Hello...
    Everybody knows I am a Deuce guy...in reality I like '32-'34s about the same. About 6 weeks ago, I was contacted by a guy saying he has just bought a bunch of early fords (mostly '35 trucks) & they were going to sell these 2 coupes. They had bought them from an older guy who just couldn't work on them anymore.
    Last week, I finally got to see them. The 5w isn't too bad, the 3w was cut into pieces (I was told to fit on a trailer from out west) years ago. All of this stuff has been sandblasted & primed. I think the 3w was an old race car; it has had sheetmetal screwed over the decklid & by the looks of the top may have been rolled.
    They came with one very nice original frame, 1 new & and 1 original decklid, several patch panels, several dashes & windshield frames, 2 complete floorpans, several sets of subrails (new & original), 2 complete sets of decent fenders, and some rear sedan fenders. Also, complete garnish sets for both cars, & 2 extra sets of what appear to be 4 door sedan doors.
    I have already started on the 5w, I channeled the subrails 2" over the weekend. Plans are for a fairly heavy lakes style chop...after finishing my '32 I want to build something a little more sinister & I have always been drawn to early lakes coupes...

    great find! and with everything in pieces like that it hardly takes any room at all.

    i really like the channel on the 5w. makes it look stock. very cool.

    Score!! The 1933/1934 Ford three window is one of my top ten favorite cars, just a fantastically styled vehicle. :cool:
     

  15. That kind of mess is hard to ignore!!! Great find.

    I've go some '34 5-window patch panels that are not gonna get used. Pm me if you need any.

    Nice Score! Could use a good set of Garnish Mouldings for a 5-window, if you have any extras!
     
  17. Nice!
    Let me know if you want to part with a set of subrails please!

    A three window and a five window at the same time! That is one great score - I look forward to seeing the builds on your projects.
