Hot Rods Project '34 Victoria.

Sold my '34 3 window 2 years ago & needed something to fill the void. Found this '34 Vic in country Victoria about 12 hours from where I live. Plans were for another Rocket powered rod but changed direction when I found good flathead running gear. I will let the pictures tell the story.

 

I like the cleverly spaced zip ties and the phantom stripes on the aft upper Quarters...Chopping it Dago?...look forward to the talking pictures...

 

No @Stogy , no chop on this one I think I am getting old.

 

I think the body laid on it's side for a lot of it's final life in the US, so there was a lot of rust issues. Camden County Customs fabricated a new roof section & trunk lid, & also fitted a right rear quarter panel.

 

The running gear is almost done, '34 motor with a '48 column shift g/box , '40 brakes all round, 4inch dropped axle, with a 3 channel on the front cross member, hair pins, & a '35 rear end adapted to a '34 closed drive shaft.

 

When I purchased the car it came with fiberglass guards & running boards, I was very fortunate to buy a job lot of '34 parts, which included a set of Aussie sedan rear guards which to my surprise fitted the Vicky perfectly .

 

Had to be tough to sell your old 3 window..it really had "the look".
I like your current project, guards (fenders) will be a good look for the no chop Vic.

 

Yes @40FORDPU , it was a tuff call but the guy kept offering money & it was to good to pass up. Although I am not in this great hobby for financial gain, but I was able to replace my glass coupe for a steel Vicky which are very rare in Australia.

 

Very cool, looking forward to seeing it together!

 

Body has been media blasted, very happy with the out come. Some massaging needed, but not bad considering the age.

 

Looking great keep the pics coming please

 

Hi your 34 had a perfect stance. I had a Cad powered Vicky40 years ago. Looking forward following your build.

 

You had a beautiful car but I really love the lines of a Vicky and an all steel one at that!

 

Always wanted a Vicky , nice find !

 

My coupe was Olds powered, love these old engines.

 

This is going to be a cool ride!

 

Got the body back on the chassis today, just sorting out how to fit a '38 dash.

 

Feels early 40s...Check...really capturing an era in Hotrod...Ohhhhhh Vicky...

 

38 and 39 is a very nice but underated hope you have all the parts to complete getting difficult to find

 

Got a bit more done during lockdown, '38 Dash panel installed & column shift working nicely. And yes the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

 

Got a bit more done during lock down, got her outside to check stance & ride height etc.

 

Lookin good!

 

Looking great Charlie - I loved that 3W too !

 

Appears the steering wheel IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE now. But in the colonies, we prefer to locate them on THE CORRECT side.
3 window was sure cool, but the Vicky is the top of the line!

 

Got a bit more done : '38 Dash installed , '40 3 on the tree column, & seats installed.

 

Finally got it in high fill primer & got colour.

 

Great job.

 

Coming along great! I like that color.

 

Bit of an update on the Vicky, fenders & running boards fitted .

 

Swap meet junk, $20 worth of '34 horn parts, managed to get 2 operational one out of it.
