    It's amazing that it is still intact the way he sold it, cool car. Haven't been able to track down any of the cars my Dad had.

    Congratulations. That's a great story. Everyone is waiting for more pictures and updates on your progress. It would be nice if you keep it somewhat like the way your father did it back in the old days.

    Replace it with a proper stock one and hang the old one on the wall. I’m for keeping stuff as it was back then, but that should have never been done back then.

    Awesome story, and this is one of the best looking 33/34 coupes I've seen running a '32 grille too, the proportions seem right. Looking forward to seeing it come back together.

    I agree that backyard spring perch, is a wall hanger. I would have a real hard time not running that paint job, if it is original to the build.
     
  15. Incredible history.
    Enjoy, as you are an extremely fortunate/lucky car guy, to have this kind of opportunity.
    Keep us posted.

    Heck yeah!! Awesome. Congrats on finding that piece of history. I too found an old channeled 33 coupe that ran a 32 grill shell. It had newspapers in it from Los Angeles. People usually would label a car like this as an east coast style of car. Where was your father's car originally built?

    That's how I started out here. I found a hotrod that my father had built in 1959 and sold in 1970. Good luck on your build I'll be watching this one!

    I think it was built in Wyoming they channeled it with a torch. Only a torch. No grinder. No clean welds. A few holes left here and there.

    Very cool. It was common for back yard kids to cut sheet metal with a chisel also. Drill holes and then chisel through the holes. A lot of the "traditional" stuff built today is built like a high end show car shop would have built it back then. But we also have access to cheap and better tools now. Don't skimp on safety! but it's also awesome to keep as much character of the old car as possible. Again, congrats on finding that piece of family history.
