Projects New Progress Pictures update - my 33 Coupe

Hi All,

Didnt want to add these onto the old progress thread as that was on the old message board. so here are some of the latest update.

Quick re-cap for some background.
This is an original 60's East coast car from Alabama, was parked in 64 due to a spun main bearing.

When its done its going to be Tangerine Flake, silver chassis and engine, Has a 52 Caddy 331, Muncie 4 Speed, 8" rear, narrowed 51 Pontiac dash.....And EVERYTHING is getting dropped in the chrome bath, all axles, backing plates, prop etc

My new grill, Rad and lights mounted on new Headlight/shock mount combos





Did anyone mention some obscene exhausts??....Oh yes we have them also





Battery box, seat and lap belt mounts done


And just some more pics...just because I love em

 

Looking good
Can't wait to see it out and about

 

Nice job & you nailed the look...esp with the air cleaners!!

 

Looking great. Excellent progress.
Mart.

 

Very well thought out,it'll be a great one when it's done.

 

I really like the motor mounts and the front headlight stands with the integral upper shock mounts. Nicely thought out. Elegant solutions, no matter how difficult to execute, are almost always simple in concept.

 

sweeeeeeet!

 

pretty awesome. Nice build!

 

looks real good

 

looks very good, keep us posted on your progress.

 

Looks GREAT!!!!

Hot damn, this will be the second best looking '33 in Europe. Mine will be the best of course...

 

COME ON PAINT THE BLOODY THING WILL YOU!I want to see the FLAKE!!!!!Just one of the best '33/'34s I've seen!

 

Holy cow!!!
nice work.

 

Very nice...Glad to see the new updates.... Can't wait to see it done...

 

EVEL, you've gotta come over here to do something for Mad Fab one day!

 

Its a coming, its a coming!
Body will come off in about 2 weeks and then its a few additional shots of primer, fix a few of the small dings and imperfections.

Then tangerine FLAKE it is!

 

THIS year Dave? I need something to cheer me up after this Shite summer!!!

 

One last pic before body comes off for flake, deceided the front end was missing something....
So it now has something else to chrome - Some nice Nerfs...

 

I'm not normally into these styles of car, except very few trucks, but this caught my eye. It's a beauty.

 

Looking damn good, can't wait to see it for real especially as you've mentioned the tangerine flake. you don't know how close you;ve got to my dream ride.

 

great progress! Your project is looking very good, and looks like it will be on the road soon. I have got to get back on my own channeled 33 five window with Cadillac power, your photos are an inspiration!

 

Well its been a while, so thought I would update a bit

Rear end all chromed and waiting to go in


Bit of a change in colour, the tangerine flake just didnt look right.
So its red glowble over maroon base


Starting to fit up the front end




Rear end all fitted up now


Body painted, 2 coats of base, 3x Glowble flake and 4 clear, its going to need at least another 4-6 coats of clear yet!

(The paint looks a bit pink in the photo, but its actually really dark)


Engine and box now in, plus some of the chrome on





Hope you like!
Engine may get fired up very soon.....

 

That car is what it's all about.

 

Dig the sixties style, very nice. Thanks for sharing the progress!
