A racing friend just woke this up from a 50 year indoor slumber, incredible. The previous owner had taken it apart to hop it up, life got in the way, later he passed and after a few years the daughter decided to sell.
me too, the grille is what I spotted right away. I keep telling friends that so many old rods are now coming out of half century of sleep edit...the pic of the gas tank, what is the exhaust manifold? nailhead? or? I think it was a running rod way back then, with the firewall gashed and red axles? .
WOW! What a find! Is that original paint!? A SOLID 33 with a great looking body and floor. Grille, hood, fenders, garnish, seat, sill plates and on and on and on...OMG!
I'm very jealous! Grill and curved louvers and lack of a "web" at the rear of the door windows...'33.
Holy hot rod bat man, unbelievable. You need to buy a lotto ticket now. I agree with 33. Curved grill, curved louvers in hood panels, door don't have the small rear web in the windows. Only thing I don't see is the rear lower flat panel. Someone said its enough to get him started on a new build............me to. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!
I just went back and looked at our messages and yes it's a 33 and he thinks the guy was going to install a nailhead in it, frame was stored outside so it needs work.
Ah shit. I missed another one. That’s the kind of find that one dreams about. Congrats man, that is really sweet!! Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
