Thread: Brought the 34 Coupe Home.

Tweet

Got another project Friday. I don't think this one will buff out as well!

Traded my 38 Chevy Cab, grille and front fenders for this 29/30 Model A. Cowl is 30/31 and rear is 29. The 29 cowl was not is very useable condition. The top was long gone so now it's a Roadster. The A frame and front axle/bones I had. I'll use one of my Mercury Fatheads in this one.

Ok, now we officially really hate you. Holy cow is that thing cleaning up great or what? Just an unbelievable find, especially that it is an old hot rod. It's in the right hands too, looks like you will do the old gal right. She deserves all the best.

Yeah,and distant mutterings from the deep south,too....on both projects....

Too Cool! I would detail the heck out of her and drive it EVERYWHERE!

Dang it man, that's a NICE 34. some guy's have all the luck. I'm jealous also

I got it running today! Sort of! It will start after I changed the leaking fuel pump on the 21 stud engine but it wont stay running. I'm going to swap the carb from the '48 59AB engine and see if will keep running. Next, bleed the bakes and check front wheel bearings, trans and rear fluid and see if will drive!

Here is some pictures of it all cleaned up.





This is the worst part the back of the cab and trunk lid. But I'm going to leave it as is and just drive it.





Here's the engine back from the machine shop with the Offy heads and intake manifold.

It is looking good and I agree, leave the slight damaged paint as it adds to the beauty of the car and its history. I hope you can get it running by just changing the carb, but ,man that built flatty will look cool in her engine bay too...If you find you haven't the time for that '29-30-31 roadster letz us know and I find room in my workshop for it...
