    1934 Ford 5-window Coupe build from NE.

     



    I just sold my 39 Dexluxe coupe that I had owned 50 years. I never had the guts to switch out the Flathead but I recently sold it so I could build a full fledged streetrod. (and a 34 Coupe was what I had back in 1957 and wanted to go back and try again)

    I just purchased a nice all steel 34 5 window that the previous owner had for 20 years and most of the hard part (suspension, drivetran and motor are done.

    Rust free body ~ I will post a picture soon.

    This looks like a great site and excited to be a new member.

    Jack

    Welcome from Iowa! That's pretty cool to have had the same ride for 50 years! The new build sounds awesome!

    Welcome Jack, we are a friendly lot here and like family so again, you will enjoy your stay. Heck, I bet a more then a few tears flowed when the '39 Coupe departed after 50 years. I will look forward to following along with your progress too and I will mention, we love photos, and they don't have to be all car related, we enjoy cat, dog and even grand kid photos...
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Welcome. That '39 looks like it was a real beauty. Good luck with your '34, it sounds nice already. Just looking at your '39 I can see the '34 will also turn out to be awesome. Yes, pics!

    Welcome aboard. That '39 had it all.........especially nice to see the original headlights employed. I guess we can tolerate another flathead guy around here if we have to.....

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Welcome Jack, I can almost tell how you're feeling after selling your '39 after 50 years... I've sold two like that but not close to your record and i still miss them to this day... It will be good to jump back into the fire so to speak and start a new build, it should help you take your mind off the '39...(a little).. can't wait to see some pictures..
    You don't know what it is to love a car until you build one.

    The 39 was awesome and I cannot imagine having a car for 50 years! And sharing pics of this new build already?? You're on the right track for sure!

    Hope you enjoy your stay here!

    Decided on a topcoat for the car. PPG Ditzler Hot Rod Black... supposidly designed to replicate the glory days of street rods. (I am after the 50's look)
