Thread: 1934 Ford 5 Window Coupe Hot Rod

The interior change was a great touch to off set the velour . Hard to remember the time period for me but I do like the look .

I haven't post on here for awhile. I did have the 34 on the road back in September The steering was really hard in turns and had a lot of play in the box of the original 34 Ford box. So I decided to change a F1 box that should make it easier to steer.

I found one on dabay that was pretty good shape but I rebuilt it anyway since it was out. I got a Vern Tardel mounting flange to get the right mounting angle. I had another cross steer box I cut the steering shaft off so I would have a tapered keyed shaft so I could still use the 48 steering wheel.

Finally got the F1 steering box installed. Definitely not a bolt on project. A F100 box would have worked better. I'll know this next time.

The box is really close to the header but if I moved it over it rubs the clutch pedal.



It drives/steers so much better now, like a 60 year old car not an 80 year old one!

Did a couple of little things today. Fixed a few things, adjusted the brakes and went for a short drive.
Put on a spare tire cover.


Just some pictures.
