Projects '30 pontiac 3W build.

great metalfinishing, and fast too

 

Man awesome build,loving it just killer.I have an oz 4 door sedan that I'm planning to transform to a 5 window coupe using a Essex roadster back ,as trying to find Pontiac rear is damn near impossible .

 

Looks killer.

 

Really nice project and great metal skills. Car will be awesome

 

Thanks guys. Hopefully I can button everything up today. 3 day chop, ill take it.

Nice build. Screw that snow outside and keep building.

 

Outside picture. Still need to finish/work on the sides... i mostly focused on the back of it last night

 

Looks really nice,good job with the beadroller dies too!

 

i didn't end up making a new window. I was able to save the old one. Thanks!

 

What kind of differnce is there now in what the factory rear window was and what it looks like now?

 

Lowered it 3/4" and reworked the radius up top...that's it.

ooooh damn, this thing looks better and better. lemme know if u need a hand with anything. i have my upholstery guy here next week if u need to pick his brain.

 

Well,it looks good anyway.Keep it up!

 

Heres my Brothers 30 Ply. coupe. Thats kind of what was done on his window cut out and raised. I have a 31 ply also has the oval rear window. I was just wondering cause you talked about making the rear window all over but making it smaller.

 

Loooks good

 

just found this thread..i am impressed..i bought george's (35 masters) 29 coupe, and had the same idea of cutting the whole window out before chopping..great minds think alike..

although i may just roadster the whole deal, or even speedster it..

mine will be powered by a 8-71 blown 428 with cv-1 heads as an option..should make for one heck of a pontiac hot rod..

i am so excited to see someone doing this...makes me want to pull the coupe out of winter storage..

 

Great job, I love to make parts, youre doing good. What are the rubber bushings in the links, also in the motor mount? Shock rubber?

 

Those are energy suspension bushings. I get them from a lowrider supplier. They are made to go into 2" OD x 1/4" wall tubing.

 

Nice work! It looks killer!

 

Nice looking fab job for the rear suspension - don't forget to weld the underneath side where it attaches to the chassis though

I will not forget haha. It's all getting flipped over once I blow it apart and fully welded. thanks

 

So I didn't have a dash... Got a new toy and wanted to play. Baileigh planishing hammer. This thing rules. I had the infamus HF one before.. but I wanted more than 3 dies, and a muffler gun. Price was right on the Baileigh unit, and it came with 9 radius dies and a set of flats, for cheaper than I would be willing to machine them for. Really happy with this.

You can tell im single haha... big crate in the living room. still there today.

Super easy setup, bolt on the legs, air dryer and lubricator and done!

So lets make a dash...

after some english wheeling to get it to the rough shape, I bead rolled some lines to match the pontiac cowl.

Using the Phammer to make this radius work.

40's pontiac radio face.


voila.

 

Nice work Steve! Awesome looking dash!

 

Love the dash...looks perfect in there

 

that dash looks killer-- I really like this design and can't wait to see more!!

 

Right on man, looks great!

 

Thanks guys. This is where the design came from.
