1939 Desoto 5 window coupe build

Some cool fab work going on there!

 

/\ /\ /\ I agree, you do it right the first time and then it is done right, looking really really good, i hope you clamp some panels back on for when you push it outside to get a better look at it......

 

You have a nice start on a good old ride !!!!

 

Thanks man it means alot

 

Thanks , i have some more pix i will post

 

I have no idea on the gas filler neck it was there when we got the car

 

Thanks man , its a tuff one but we will get it there

 

I have some pix of it rolled outside but no body panels just the body so far and it does sit just rite

 

Well got the coupe rolled out of the shop for a better look at it and its stance i think i have the stance nailed .

Here's some pix

 

And a couple more

 

I know where you guys picked this car up, just west of Port Perry. Looks like a cool project.

 

LOL Ya were you eyeing it up , do you live in the area

 

I live in the area and have dealt with Eric a few times

 

I bought my first hot rod project from eric 30 yrs ago wow i'm gettin old lol it was a chopped 53 chev pu that i rechopped .

The chopped ford pu in the back ground came from fred taylor i'm sure you know him or of him rest his soul .

do you live in port .

 

WOW, it really sits nice, what are the chances of putting some tin back on to get an even better look at what it will be like when it is done . . . . . . PLEASE

 

Hey my brutha from down unda lol i cut the front frame rails to length now i have to mod the front clip to fit around the frame then play with the doors and i have to get all the dents out of the trunk lid i think i will separate the trunk and nock all the dents out , the doors have no guts in them well thats a lie someone welded in some newer camaro inner door panels with power windows and what a mess they did on it luckily they only welded one door but they did cut and gut the other door anyway lots of work to do .

As soon as i get more work done on the car i will post some pix , i am moving in feb. to a new house and shop so that will slow things down alittle


Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year

 

Did alittle more tinkering with the desoto today first i cut some of the orig. rad support out to fit the front clip into place .

Here's some pix

 

Next i cut out the inner skin of the trunk lid and then knock all the big dents out and placed it on the car to see how it looked.

Here's some pix

Sorry see pix below

Looks threatening and nasty, and I mean that in a good way.

Here's some pix

 

And some more ya i know there's alot of pix sorry

 

lookin killer, don't think i'd chop it though,just say'in

 

What a great car to save.

 

no need to say sorry for the pics - the more the merrier

 

Hey my Brutha, looking way cool mate. I knew it would look amazing with the tin fitted back on, a nice little HEMI would ne killer in netween those chassis rails. Are you thinking of doing a chop top too ?

 

Looking nice. I lean to the custom side for building that car, but the hot rod look fits good. I think you need a big block at least.

 

The stance you have on it is perfect.

 

I always like to see what you are playing with hillbilly hot rods !
That's a really neat looking car , nice job

 

No this one's not grttin chopped it's stayin the way it is , thanks Gary
