NEW 34 Ford Video and Body Question

Post by tekne10 »

Hey guys, I just come across this video on youtube and wanted to share. I think the car looks amazing!

Does anyone know where I can get a 34 ford body just like the one in the Video/Picture? Most of the ones I find, have much higher roofs.

Here is the link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyAIESjXbsw

Any help would be appreciated!

Very nicely done,that's one way to keep it safe, run it on a dyno. When I used work for dealerships dynos were anything but safe in real life, it was almost like a rodeo contest trying to keep the car from zigzagging and flying off the side of the ramp, we had some good laughs.

Thank for the info guys! yeah it does look sick. I have a 32 roadster body but I cant decide which one would look better...

Where can i find a wmc 34 body and around how much does it cost? is ebay my only chance?

How hard is it to chop a body to make it like the one in the picture :)

Thanks a lot!

Those are both 1934 could you get a photo of the 32? That's the one I prefer.

Hey Emilio, they only make the 34. I currently have the 32 body (attached pic - NOT made by them). I cant decide which one to use though. I feel like the 34 with a chopped roof would have a meaner look than the 32...

Thank you, I bought it from a guy in NJ (Sal) who, i think, had previously bought it from username "pro street" from this forum.

I met Sal, he came to my house with his 609 stinger when I had my 32 chassis and body for sale. The 32 you have is an ezlovin custom and has been stripped of everything, shame, here's photos when Pro street owned it. If you ever want to sell it or make a trade for a particular car let me know.

I found the photos of when Sal came by to fit his 609 in my custom chassis, I love the 609 for what it is but where the hell are you going to fit this beast besides a monster truck or a rail dragster? Look at the size of it in the 32, it looks like a Cummins diesel engine sitting in there :shock:

Hey Emilo,

Thank you for sharing the pictures! To be honest I LOVE the way the conley looks in your old 32 frame. It makes it look like a really powerful Hot Rod :)
