1939 Desoto 5 window coupe build

Good just the way i wanted it to look , thanks bro

 

Hey 31 Vicky how have you been and hows the car coming , i'm glad you like this one thanks for the kind words .

I still have the pu i'm going to build a new chassis for it and use either a 4 or 6 cyl. in it and us it as a daily driver if all goes well

 

Hey bro how are you , no chop on this one but future plans for a hemi with a blower down the road

 

Nice....I'm all for finished paint, but not this time...it looks like it could chew up ogres and spit 'em out!

 

Thanks Frankie , the car itself is an ogres as it sits lol

 

You da Man Brutha,

Just use that chevy for now as a fill in and get some serious HEMI muscle in tbat bad boy later down tje track when you are able my friend, it is one sweeeeet ride.
Have you got a paint color or paint scheme in mind now that you habe seen the new look ?

Kenny.

 

Hey kenny not sure on a color yet , thanks brutha

 

Hey Brutha,

Some cars just call out to go Black, i think i hear your car calling old mate.
Are you in to Black hot rods at all ? You know what i mean about the calling and or screaming to go black, cars that look that sinister just become . . . . . oh yeah.

 

It's like you were in my head lol i love black and thats the color i was leaning towards or orange but i think that it will be black or you never know it may stay in grey primer for awhile

Thanks ma brutha kenny from down unda

 

I think another thing that swayed me was your wheels, that rim and tire combo always looks good with Black.
I do like Orange too, but it looks like a Black car to me.
Nothing wrong with Primer until funds and time catch up to do nice paint my Brutha.
I know we are related, Ma Mopar said so.
Sweet sweet ride man, i love it and the fact it is so different, but being a Mopar is what put the cherry on top, wicked.

 

LOL Thanks kenny i think black will be the color with a cherry on top lol

 

Today i started on the motor plate still have to cut out the timing chain area but i did get the motor into place not fastened onto the frame yet i have lots of room in this one lol.

Sorry for the quality of the pix there not the greatest

Heres some pix

 

Here's some better outdoor pix i took today and it was a little frosty out.

 

And a few more for luck

 

And a few more just cause it was cold out lol

 

That machine is EVIL!!
However, I do find your avatar a little distracting! lmoa.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
Davo.

 

I've seen that car also, nice lines. It'll be a rare, good looking car when it's done. "Mr. Hudson" has a load of funky stuff on his lot. Nice guy too.

 

Hey Brutha, it looks like you could put a Merlin engine in that engine bay, it is huge, that thing is crying out for a HEMI, will love to see that when you are able.

Black with a Cherry, how about a full Cherry Red interior, Black exterior. Loving the whole look of your car buddy, DeSoto's are so cool.

 

Love '39 Hudsons. They are sooooo curvy. Love to see a full custom 39 Desoto coupe

Thanks Brother

 

Wow! What a change in direction on the 39. Are you planning on a roll cage to help with the chassis twist from your turbo motor? Ought to be a fun ride?

 

You have just gone Mopar Mad my Brutha, i am loving it

I have a new name for your 39 DeSoto project, Pro Ugly. A name has never suited a car more than what you are building right their, it is un-frikkin-believable. Keep those cogs turning my Brutha, you are building a weapon and a half, i would love to go for a ride in that if i ever got the chance when you finish it.
I am soo glad your son pulled out of the project and you jumped in head first, certainly is looking well worth it totally.
