1934 Ford 5 Window Coupe Hot Rod
I'm going to start a thread for the 34 5 window. This is more of a rebuild and finish thread. Al ittle history on the car. It was purchased be the last owner in 1958 for $10. He had started working on the car and had completed a lot of work on it. Unfortunately he passed away last year and never completed it. I found out about it through a friend of mine who knew them and was able to purchase it from his widow.
It has quite a few new parts on it like the fenders, running boards, the associated braces, fuel tank, winshield frame and lots of little parts.
The original engine was replaced with a 1936 engine which has the insert bearings instead of the babbited main bearings. The brakes have been converted over to hydraulics and tube shocks on the front axle.
It was paint in the early 60's and the upholstery was started in the 70s.
Here's what it looked like when I first found it.
And this is what it looks like now after a good cleaning and buffing.
The paint on the back in flaking off but it will stay that way. It adds to it's character.
