1934 FORD 3 WINDOW COUPE
Dave mocked up the wheels and body and went to work completely designing and hand fabricating a frame that would give it the low raked look he was after.He made custom floor pans along with the firewall and wheel tubs. The frame gives the car the channeled appearance, but it’s not.
Practically every other panel and component had to be modified or hand fabricated as well. Very few catalog parts would work with the unique design elements. Dave’s 34′ coupe gets it’s attitude from the extended wheelbase, chopped top, sectioned grill, sectioned hood and dramatic rake. As radical as this car looks it’s a pleasure to drive. It has plenty of leg room for the 6ft. driver. No frills on this car, just the perfect streetrod. This coupe holds several awards in the club choice catagory, a Goodguys Rep Pick, Best car of Show and a 98’Street Rod magazine Top Ten award from the Pamona Spring Nationals.
