Thread: Un-streetrodding a 34 tudor

Thank you for the story and pictures of the Tudor. Now, what is that saying..." The family that play together, stay together in love, life forever. " I'm sure that those two young ones will be hot rodders in their future. Is the '33 Chevy a steel body coupe ?

Yes it's all steel except the deck lid is fiberglass. It's a 33 Chevy master. All the wood was removed and a steel inner structure was installed. That is my wife's car (Lucky bitch) it has a 57 Ford 9" 700R4 and a SBC with a tunnel ram with dual quads. Her car is going to be more bling and raw power and mine will be bare bones and more for the kool factor.

Now with the 34 in it's new home it was time to get serious about what I was going to do to it. In order to save time and money it was determined that we should make it fenderless. No fenders to fit, body work, and paint. Plus (I think) fenderless cars are kooler. Only one thing stood in my way....the IFS. Unless its a high dollar build with a completely polished front end; IFS on a fenderless car just doesn't look right. Plus with the sale of all the extra parts I was able to pay off some bills and buy the parts I needed to change it over. Another thing that made it real easy was I had a buddy that just picked up a 37 Ford coupe. It had a factory ford front end with a new disc brake conversion. Basically he wanted IFS and I wanted a straight axle so we swapped. So I broke it all down.


Then this showed up on my doorstep.

Plan of attack was to leave the IFS cross member in place till I was all set with welding (tacking) the model A cross member in.



That's better.
