Projects Chevrolet Master 2 door > hotrod ?

I Have the Car Its in Great Shape !

 

I bought a 33 Chevy that most of the wood was gone. If the body panels are in good shape you can replace the wood with steel. Takes time and patience but can be done.

 

Reference pic. I hope this is the right one. Don't know squat about those era of Chevrolets.

 

One of my best friends built this '35 Chevy Master DeLuxe Victoria about 12 years ago. A very,VERY rare Chevy.



It will be a long time before you see another one of these.

 

My 35 Chevy (Standard) phaeton still has an excellent wooden internal structure and retains OEM door locks/strikers etc and uses lap belts that attach to steel bosses on frame. However my frame has been boxed with a stout centre X-member that minimises flexing inherent in OEM ladder style frames.
The body may still have some slight movement when travelling at 60mph but it's been on the road for over 15yrs now without issue and no rollover protection being an open car. I'd prefer 3pt restraint in a sedan with a steel internal structure. Here's how to steel out a 32 sedan as an example. Not insurmountable but challenging depending on skill set, tools, budget etc

Hello,

The years of 1933-35 Chevrolet Sedans look pretty much the same. The thing would be that it certainly would stand out in a field of Fords from the same span. There are some similarities, but either way, people would have a hard time deciding between the two. The Chevy is a model that is not normally used as a hot rod in any stage of modification or custom build. But, they have been used from the very early years as “build what you have” style of hot rodding. If you finish or at least get it modified for some fun cruising and road trips in your neck of the world, that would be an individual style that would be hard to beat.

This old 1935 Chevy Sedan was modified and looked really good with the latest hot rod parts, paint and accessories. I was visiting my brother in Davis, CA when he had moved up there for some graduate school work. Luckily, I had a phone number of the owner of the 1935 Chevy Sedan from an earlier encounter at the Oakland Roadster Show. It worked out fine as our long vacation, photo shoot tour of Northern California paid off in dividends.

This photo display in Rod Action, as well as several custom motorcycles in various other magazines made it worthwhile for my wife and me. A great road trip, great scenery, companionship, photos of some pretty good hot rods and custom motorcycles was just part of our visit to my brother and his family. You make do with what you have without any worries from other sources.

 

I'm in the process of a 1934 2door master sedan.
mine came with a new wood kit. was lots of thought process on where to start ect.
parts are tough to find ,so if you buy it hopefully it's really complete
mine is in the hot rod process and if I can shead any light just ask
cheers Mike

 

any chance it was a 34 masters grill???

 

I have a 36 which was the transition year. The roof and front door posts are steel. everything from the doors back including the doors is wood framed. Mid year 1936 they changed over to steel. 37 & newer the wood is pretty much just a bad memory.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanx for the answer!!

The ‘37 cars have no wood, but the sedan delivery is wood structure for the rear area and back door.

 

Chevrolet also made a Mercury series car in 33. It came in 2 door and coupe models. They are more rare than the larger Eagle series and very few parts crossover. Make sure the car in question does not have a miss matched set of parts. Good Luck.
