Kick off to my new project: 1933 Ford 5W coupe

Chris, That Olds look right at home in there!But as they say ''The choice is yours'' either way Olds or Flathead its gonna be COOL as Fuck!

Nick.

 

Flathead

 

I mocked the steering in it tonight. I LOVE 41-48 Ford steering wheels. I have had this one for a while, threw it in the car and think it might just end up in there when it's all said and done

 

I agree those 40's st/wheels have a classic look to em & theres one earmarked my roadster too......only I don't have the horn ring yet.

I have some mercury horn rings from the same era coming from a Canadian Hamber but not 100% sure if they fit the standard Ford wheel..... anyone know if they do ?

Spence.

 

Yep Spence, they should fit just fine.

 

I am digging the steering wheel Chris. Did you get the Starter Change over yet??? I am interested in seeing that on the block.

I have been keeping my eyes peeled for the Oil Relocation plate for ya too but no luck as of right now. I'm on it though!!!

 

Not yet, it's in the mail.

 

An old quick-change centre in the banjo would probably help - they are supposed to handle a bit of power - I am not sure about the standard axles though...... maybe they are ok???
Spence.

 

Yanked the Olds out and dumped a dummy flathead in. Teeter-totter, teeter-totter...

 

Isn't this car done yet. Quit talking about it and start working....Jeeez.

 

Doug, I can't wait to see you in a month and run your ass off the course.

 

More talk....only this time very silly talk. You'd have to catch me to run me off the road..That just ain't happening.

 

Hey, I've got an A coupe you can put another one of those sill flatheads in (hell, I'll even include the banger) and all you gotta do is trade me your '39...

 

We'll see

 

Oh man, I have too many banger powered cars as-is. I need a V8 car BAAAAD!!!!

 

nice write up in hop up x, kid

 

Well you can do whatever you want to my junk...er..I mean coupe!

I promise the '39 will be well taken car of...

 

Thanks!

 

Chris, That Flathead does look DAMN FINE in there!

Nick.

 

You need to roll her outside to get a real look, but the flathead does look good. WWDD.

 

That Flatty looks nice...sack up and go with the Olds

 

Can't really, the bellhousing is stting on jackstands!

 

Glad to see you went with a flathead. Can't wait to see the car when it's done. That's my favorite ford coupe.

 

I think I'm a sucker for the flatty...put the olds in another one...

 

Thats what I'm thinking. BUT- progress on this sucker is gonna halt for a bit, gonna try to stuff a V8 in the roadster this winter. Man, if only I had more time, space and money

 

I spotted a really cool pic of a 5 window 33-34 Ford in a book last night being worked on at the Lakes. Definitely saw your car in it and I think that it'll be a good piece of inspiration. I'll scan it and show you as soon as I get some time dude.

Anyhow, take your time and button up the roadster before sinking your teeth into this one. After all it's your car of all cars right?

 

very cool!

 

Any updates mate?

 

It turned into a real roadster.
It was a two step transformation.

Sold my coupe, getting something new!

Yep, a roadster popped up I had to have, and I had to buy a pheaton first to get it The coupe had to painfully go. I'll own another coupe someday...
