Projects 33 chevy 3w....time for a cool change

i thought you rested your case.

 

Dos it help that I agree with him.

Those block of plate should match you wheels!
So paint the wheels, or the plates.

 

That's a great story, and a great car. Looking forward to seeing it in paint.

 

your right.....i will paint the plates black.

 

thanks, rumor has it is stripped and will be delivered tomorrow.

 

Looking forward to seeing how it came out.

 

while we are waiting i took the vent window regulator apart. it has a skip to it and i found the handle shaft gear had a couple stripped teeth. i had a 34 regulator that looked different but i thought maybe the internals were the same. i took it apart but the gears were not the same. now i need to hunt for a gear, or regulator.

 

The small gear? If that is the bad one, it looks like ACME thread?

a Sunday project with the Lathe...perhaps


Used stuff, if you can even find one, would be more dried out. potmetal is evil

 

funny thing is my lathe is missing the bed screw so i need to.... make........ one.............of............those.................first

 

What's ACME? I thought ACME was the mail order firm the surplied the coyote the stuff to take down roadrunner?

Meep meeep.

and yes, anvils, cannons dynamite etc....

 

it's back and looks great. i could not take pictures it was threatening to snizzle out so we pushed it out the trailer and into the garage. i could not get a good shot of it, the garage is to tight.
they used glass beads on the hood, it almost looks polished.

 

after straighten out a few dings in the hood/sides i started ironing out one of the fenders. my dad remembers a guy backing out of a driveway right into the car. the guy had a friend fix the fender but it was just banged out a little and filled. when i had it painted he stripped the car but just filled.

 

Very nice! Looks to be in great condition.

 

You waiting for a warm day to squirt the primer? Inside the shop, or outside?

 

Might stop by next Sunday for inspection if that is ok. Bob

 

There's nothin like detroit steel. Warms my heart to see the condition they are. When are you getting the body back?

 

yes, i did not find any surprises.

i need to fix a few spots before priming and it will be done inside.

body is back, will get some help moving it up to the barn today. i will post photos!

 

Bob, come up any time. call first.....i may be out looking for colored eggs.

 

picture of the body.

 

a few more

 

Love those door gaps! Bob

 

Man that's one clean car! Love the history also. Beautiful landscape. It just keeps getting better

 

thanks, the fenders will take the most amount of work. the car had an antenna mounted on the top of the cowl at one time and it has a patch that needs some cleaning up. now i just need to get it back in the schedule.

 

Man, that body is mint!

 

Looks like Dad took great care of it.

 

Did all the early Chevrolet chassis have the nice stamped kickup area?

 

Nice!

 

My 33 Master did.
