Building a Deuce Trunklid (pics)

Wow, very nice... it's guys like you who inspire me to attempt new projects.

 

That is Inspiring!!!!!
Nice, thank you for sharing!!

 

Hey, Nice work. I'm the yo yo over in the 30's section building a coupe out of a PU cab. I now feel i cheated by doing a simple flat skinned louvered trunk lid. Ray

 

Settles some of the arguement that you need to have the latest greatest new tool before attempting these projects. I might have to print a picture of the guy with the VW sheetmetal to remind myself. Thanks for sharing your work, inspiring indeed.

 

great looking piece! what did you use behind the lid when the air hammer was used? was it grooved?

 

wow dude that turned out really nice

 

With that talent why not fab up the whole body ! Incredible work!

 

Beater32 once built a 36 3W coupe out of a 36 mordoor sedan. He is indeed a very talented man, moreso because you would be suprised how few tools he uses. I'm priveliged to count him a friend.

 

haha mutha fu**Ker! I was searching for this thread last week under DECKLID! God I'm a moron!

Dude, you did a great job! I'm gonna print this out and get started! And everyone at the shop said it couldn't be done! I'll show them!

 

Love this thread, great job. Hope to see a finished pic by now.

 

Lucky i didn't title it Bootlid! Be interested in seeing your progress??

 

Yeah,me too...!

 

not much progress. chassis is at my welders getting everything final welded. I am now selling my roadster body, trying to get a 32 coupe body instead. Rules are making this thing spiral out of financial control, and the coupe will help alleviate some of that $$$. I'll post some up when I get my chassis back, and get everything put back in it.

 

Appreciate this thread greatly. I'm going to go out and try making a T coupe trunklid now. Thanks to you.

Doug.

 

Glad to help. Make sure you post some pics?

 

thanks beater32 for the inspiration to try and do the same for my 29 Dodge Brothers Coupe, couldnt find an original ANYWHERE lol

 

Nice work !

 

Since this thread is back up, hows the 36 3 window conversion coming along Beater32?

 

Thank you for bringing this thread up. This kind of information is exactly why I come to the HAMB

 

Slowly! Actually it's still outside....

 

awesome work. i like how you made the bead with the angle iron guides. very cool idea.

 

this is a top notch thread.

 

Six years later i finally got round to finishing the bloody thing...

 

Well,I gotta admit,the trunk lid looks as good as Henry's. HRP

 

About time ya lazy bugger!


Looking good! For any that dont know, Beater32 is as good a metal worker as any in the business.

 

Wow! That is very nice work!!!

 

Great, I just started building a new deck lid for my 27 T today using 3/4 tube and now I gotta redo it. Great job, looks good

 

Good to see you getting on top of things and doing some stuff for yourself. So will it be ready for the Pre 49s this time next year??

 

I don't think so unless my numbers come up. Aiming for paint this year, I'll be happy (ish) with that.Given up on a deadline, seen several come and go...!

 

wow really nice work
