Steel 1933 3w build thread. start to finish

The body raises with small hidden winches, it stays up just by grvity. I have a pole which mounts from the chassis to the underside of the dash. This is just a safety for while it is up at shows. I will be using a hood latch to hold the body in the down position. Exactly how is yet to be detirmined.

Jim,
thanks for the info.

Im a little a.d.d. soi kinda got sidetracked. I am back on the 33 and will have updates soon.

 

Jim, that is one bitchin' coupe!! Hope you went with the weed burner pipes like the Orange crate, maybe a little longer. That would date that rig in the early 60s for sure. Anyway Great job, OLY

I havent decided on the headers as of yet.
I did put the motor in it. Man this thing has gotten WAY out of hand.

 

It's hard to picture it without the blower now. I love this build. Subscribed.....

I don't know whether it's just me, but that latest pic with the motor in it makes the car look really pissed off...............aaaaand I'm loving it.

 

You never heard that old saying "you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear" did you? Good thing, the rest of us would be deprived if you had. I'm continually amazed at your "get 'er done" way of tackling a project.

"The difficult we do right away. The impossible takes a little longer"

should be on your business card. Keep us posted on this one. It's turning out great.

i think this picture really makes it look angry. Im so lovin this car.

 

and of course by "WAY out of hand" you mean perfect.

This build is quite possibly one of my favorites ever!

 

Right click...Save As...

That car is incredible. Well done Jim!!!

 

holy crap! wicked...

 

thakn.
thats exactly what kinda responce i am lookin for.

 

blown w motor looks down right nasty

 

sorry , no updates. BDS made me a blower manifold and didnt allow room for a distributor. I had it all together and was trying to get it running in bare steel. now its all back apart and they are making me a new manifold.
Jim

 

They set the blower back too far?

 

Yes. the blower is directly on top of the distributor hole.

 

Well, after hours of thought, these are what I came up with for headers. im hoping to sneak some short mufflers in underneath with some hidden caps in the turn-outs.

 

I love the new headers, it gives the car a whole new freakishly nasty attitude.

 

dude,I like your work,it shows you have skill(being serious)but tell what could you do with this

Jim could save that easy...

 

That aint that bad. i got a 3 window just like it.

 

amazing work.

 

some guys have that talent, to raise it from the dead

others like me would sell iit to someone to bring it back

 

here is another look. Im thinkin of using the 32 shell. What do you all think?

 

After seeing the car last Saturday in person, all I can say is "WOW". The headers look great, the grille may take a little getting used to. Different but looks good. Had a great time on Saturday. Thanks again Jim. LEN

 

Heres another pic just for fun.

 

Hugely inspiring stuff; Great work
