I'm trying to find original stuff first because I got time to wait but sooner or later I'll have to give in an make it all. I would love to see some pic of the rear window bucket too if anybody has them.
I'm going over to my buddy's body shop in about 1/2 hour. I can get some photos of another customer's original 34 five window with it's original hinges, mounts and rain tray. Mine is kinda a morphadite with shop-made hinge mounts and a '36 back glass five window regulator [and regulator bracket] and a completely shop-made rain tray...loosly copied from original 34 coupe parts. The 34 back glass regulator "bracket" was made from wood....36s' were made from steel.
The deck lid hinge brackets that are on body near rain gutter are available from Tom Bay. I just ordered a set. My 5 window is suffering from same hinge bracket problem. Tom said a lot of the brackets were easily broken. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
thank you Rocky! this is the stuff I'm looking for and your pics will give me food for though for sure. Where is Tom Bay from? I can't say I've heard of him before.
I've never heard of Tom Bay till now. Where is he located? As of right now I'm trying to save up money for my next move but I did get some more pieces for the trunk area. just waiting on the mail.
Hey Jared, That t looks sweet do you have a thread on that? Looking forward to more on the coupe!! Chris Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
good morning Chris, no I don't have a build on the T. but It is the same car that I've been driving. I just got some more heating oil yesterday so I'll be in the garage working on it today! door is always open.
Oh ok I know the car, I like that blue!!! Thanks for the invite. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Holy crap Man!! I didn't know that you were redoing your roadster!!! You HAVE to do a thread on this since there wasn't one for the first time you built it!!!! I love that color and if I ever painted my rusty ass roadster, i would go with something similar. Mine used to be some shade of blue! Looks good, Bro!!!
does anyone know if 34 ford 3 window coupe trunk hinges are a little diffrent from 5 window coupe hinges??? just checking, thanks
They are the same. Drake sells a nice pair, they are available in stainless also. Tom Bay sells the hinge brackets that are on the body, mine where missing got a set tom sells, nice. Dan Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Jared, I just went back and read your entire build thread for motovation for my New 3 window build. You have Come along way with this car, I remember seeing it in brians Movie, And thinking How cool it was. I was wondering Who you had to shoot to score Doors that look like these?.....(wheres the rest of that body?.....LOL) the last pic is a set of 33 doors I found, but the guy wants big money for them. Funny how much stuff is still out there
No shots were fired! Those door hurt real real bad to get, but I did it anyways. I hope your's don't hurt as much. but at the end of it all, awesome doors can take the car to a higher level of finish. Unless your going to chop the top, both doors from the same car are a real big deal. All the 3 window doors are a little diffrent in size or shape and when it comes to adjust them it will really matter. Also think of all the time and hasel saved when you don't have to pice them together. Their is so much more going on with a door. I say go for it if you can. It's not some dum tv that will be throw away in 5 years.
So I save up money to get the hole wood kit for the 34 coupe this year and then guess what happens? I find out the 8ba in my T roadster is bad. oh well, My model T is going to fly now!
update thanks to Joe and Robin for this flim!!!!! it is the engine and trans for my coupe build. Currently in the Tom Dunn dragster. Jared
