I have been encouraged to start a thread on this project; I started by putting a few pix on the https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/posts/15671913/ . I've been trying to sell this project for over a year; you all have probably seen it in the classifieds. I decided to put it together myself. The floor and rear section came from the Don Babb estate in Oregon. The rest of the parts came from various pieces I've collected over the years.
Looking Good!! Stay committed , More then , snapped together and glue required !! By pics I have been involved with a few more bad shape then whats shown , Floater around here on HAMB the Frankenstein 32,in Williamsburg Virginia about 15 years ago. & a few other Builds .( basket case's) I was Not parts of that build , But the other where Pretty much the same condition
Next were the quarters, had to do a little modification to the rear pan, it was 1/2" farther back on the passenger side. The quarters were for a cabriolet and needed to be shortened about 6".
Next was to fit the deck lid, went pretty well,. I took it to a friend and used his louver press and punched 124 louvers in it.
Seem to be a factory difference , In lower quarter what I recall. Two other car that We looked @ where off from DS 33-4
I've got a little more done. I used the front part of 35-36 pu door tops, reversed side for side to make the slanted part of the rear of the 34 door. These have more slant in them compared to a real 3w door. I don't know how much it's chopped, just eyeballed it where I liked it. I'm using a fordor top for the top. More slicing and dicing to continue.
I purchased the 3w catwalk panel (between deck lid and passenger compartment} from Tom Bay. Had to move the cabriolet bead line forward.
Next was changing the bead line to the 3w configuration. It's not exact, as I used one from a 34 Fordor.
This is awesome. I love builds like this and wish there were more on here like this. Keep the updates coming. I can't wait to see how 36 items look on a 34.
