Projects Truck into a coupe- My next pet project

.... thought they said "ASS \ O". Need a set of those for my neighbor. White letter please.

 

thanks 31 Vicky

 

You should be able to read everything if you can blow it up.

 

thank you , ronnie

 

Looks like a 33/34 Ford? If so try getting a 1935/36 Ford pick up truck firewall which fits in 33/34 Fords, and give you a factory looking firewall with heaps of recess area for a early Hemi!

 

amazing metal work! this car is virtually unrecognizable from the starting point...I'm not sure if this is the same car but I remember vaguely a thread about a guy mating a '35 Ford truck cab with a '34 Chev rear clip then if I remember correctly he abandoned the chev 1/4s and either made his own or went with repro '34 ford 1/4s ? any way it was a street rod an insane amount of work was done to it and it ended up red

 

Thank you !
There's nothing left to hide here, draw your own conclusions. If you had a link that would be great.

 

Updates?

 

Sadly I have none.
Very little time lately.
Everyone else's stuff comes first.
About the only things Ive done was try a blower on for size , about 6' of welding around the back window, try to figure out the door window fuzzies, and keep wishing I'd not installed bear claw latches. I need to get all the door innards all sorted out, that is what is keeping the door skins off. There's a major roadblock in the doors. So much so I've been looking for another set of doors (nice ones) and truck cab door jambs to nix the bear claws and redo the chops

 

A little refresher on the rear bumper/tailights.



I had to move these olds grill bars today.
I thought it's been a while (too damn long) since I got to work on my own car.
So I snuck a couple hours in.

Made a rough cut,


Then I Coped them together,
Had to play sneek up on it and get them both equal.


I'll tack them together first thing in the morning.
So after the tacking one of two things will happen,,,,
the thing sits around the shop different place
or
I'll section the middle out to get the overall length right and try it on the car for size.
How are you betting ?

 

I'm not betting, but I'll hope that you section the middle out to get the overall length right and try it on the car for size!

 

I'm betting you'll get it welded before I buy that new TIG welder I've been dreaming about for a year or two. . .

 

Sure has an Ed Roth look to it, and it will be on the car before I own the long awaited TIG welder. Bob

 

Betting I will turn raspberry from holding my breath waiting before this thing turns raspberry

 

I've posted this before- I was just practicing Rasberry on this one.

 

49-50 ford tailight.
I thought they fit up much better in the olds grill bar ?
I had forgotten that This is another reason I haven't messed with it.

 

So, maybe you french the tail lights in the grille bar?

 

I think it's cool,
Cool enough to build a car around but I'm not sure it's right for this car.

I might take 3-4" more out of the middle and splay the ends out to the front instead of in to the front

 

Maybe?
That would shorten the bumper up quite a bit too.

 

TIG it together and send it out for chrome or paint it? Bob

 

I'll vote for not sure it's right for this car. ( your words)
I'm not sure which car it would be right for but I'm not feeling it here.

 

Personally I don't think it works. It looks like something that should be on one of plowboys cars.

 

i think just have 2 tailights instead of 4 , and sink them back. they stick out to far. i like the grill bar

 

^^ What they said.

 

i like it....... but you can't do it..........do it just like every other car......

 

Hey, I like it a lot. It is different and would look very good when finished off and plated and the body painted.

 

^^^^^ I typed this an hour ago but forgot to push the post button....

 

I don't think you can just hang it there like a bumper and have it look good but if you integrated it into the body I think it could be awesome.

Just have a small shot of this and channel your inner Ed Roth . . .
