Thread: 1934 Ford 5 Window Coupe Hot Rod

Pictures of the engine removed



I used 1/4" brake line with the armor shield or gravel shield. I like to use this in the front for more protection. I also had to add the flex hose brackets to the frame.


In the rear I added the flex hose there too. It was just a hard line straight to a tee.


This is just a shot of the underneath showing the condition of the floor pans. Nice!

Just a shot of the padded roof filler.


And the Ford 94 carbs.

Sweet oil filter! Old School High Tech...

That car is a great find, I am wishing it was in my garage.

I did find articles and ads for one in both a Popular Science and Popular Mechanics dated 1954. Price new 12.95.

I'd like your avatar in my garage!

Plumbed the carbs with copper tubing. I'm not sure about the look of the pressure gauge though.





Removed the dash and wiring.

Dmw,

Great progress. I like the looks of the copper and gauge. I wish mine was coming along as fast.

Jack.

I got some more of the wiring done. Got most of the dash wired up. Having trouble with the ignition switch. When I get it tightened up enough so it doesn.t turn in the hole the key won't turn. If i back it off the swith turns and it won't go into start position. I'll just get a new switch and see that will work.

It has all Stewart Warner gauges. Haven't decided if I want to use the ammeter or change out to a voltometer.


Here's a shot of the fuse/junction box with the relay for the fan. Still need to mount the relay for the fuel pump.


Mounted the 12 volt wiper motor


I wanted to have turn signal and park lights in front but I couldn't find any that I liked. So I just put on some cowl lights that had both in them.

Great looking coupe; you're going to have a blast with this in the spring!

DMW,

Sounds good, can't wait for the vid of you driving it.

Jack.

There is just something so special about survivors like this one and Jacks coupe. It is almost sacreligious to repair their paint and upholstery. These are cars you literally dust off and drive the wheels off of.

Yes, I agree. I also believe that we don't really own them. Yes, we paid for them but that is merely the fee we paid to become their caretakers. Eventually it will be passed down to someone else to look after it.

Don and dmw,
It's been so long since I have driven mine (except for one short trip to the house from the shop to make room for the wifes car in the shop) when I do get it on the road again I will be driving it for a good long while. When I do finally give it up, if none of the grand kids show an interest in it I will most likely sell it.

Jack.

P.S. the repair part of the bathroom repair/remodel job is being a bugger. As soon as that is done it's back to the shop and the 34.

Glad to see you back on this one! Where did you get the insulation from?

dmw,
Glad you are making progress. The sound and heat insulation looks good, I can't wait till I'm at that stage.

Jack.

It's roofing repair peel and stick. Aluminun and butyl rubber. Costs way less than Dynamat and is practically the same stuff.
