Projects 1933 chevy 5 window coupe.

I have had people tell me that someone welded two diffrent cars together.

 

DON"T use a sand blaster on the sheet metal, it will warp the panels. If you're set on blasting it, use soda.

 

I used the hood from a 66 Chevelle

 

i always found my dads 33 to be the coolest ever he took the stock body ( that the previouse oner lost the top to) and made a new top out of a 4 door sedan and chopped it in the process. He also channeled it i think 2 inches if that just to make the side covers about a quarter inch from the frame. I think its sick but to each its own.

 

Here's a shot after we filled the roof on my 34. It's the only photo I could find.

 

57 ford passenger top metal.

 

That look more like my 34 5 window the cowl to the fire wall on the 33 is shorter than the 34.

 

Here is the smooth version

 

On my A, I am planning on bolting my top insert in with hidden bolts. The insert will be metal (volvo roof) covered in fabric.

 

Gee I wonder how many of those Buicks are even still around?

no car!!!!!! ????? shit to! you have a damn cool car!!!!lol lookin good man! should be a killer when your done!

 

I'm with screwball on this one. It is not a 33. At least at the front cowl. The 33 had a shorter hood shelf so that would make it at least a 34. I had a 34 Master and a 35 Std.
I filled the top on my 34 with the top of a Junk 65 Mustang. It had the right crown front to back and side to side.

Thanks breader the ression for the name. I maid this account before I owned a car and I was looking for one on hear but now I have one.

And LOWCAB I welded that cowl on my self.

 

It was a 1933 chevy master cowl if that changes anything.

 

I have two 650 holleys would they be a good setup for a tunnel ram?

 

I got a chance to measure the 5 window it is 31" the 3 window is a few miles away I will check it out tomorrow

 

Thats alot.

I think most tunnel rams use 500s or smaller

 

That depends on how you build the motor. I read one of your other posts about having a 396 BBC, so depending on how you build it(heads, cam, compresiion, etc) those would be fine....but if built wrong it won't matter.

 

I've got a 33 sedan redid insert,looks great! mine's white on black.

 

my 33 has the fabric insert... I think that looks pretty cool? maybe even a little more traditional and not so street rod like the steel insert.

also just to let you that a big block fits like it was made for it.... mine has a 454 with the 4 speed... and soon a factory tri-power from a 68 vette, if I ever get off my lazy A%# and put it on.

anyway.... YEEEEHHHHAAAWWW it's a blast to drive.

Good luck, looks like you have a good start.

 

Thanks that would help me out a lot

Scott.

 

Thats a awsome looking rod nice job.

 

This was that Mustang top fill I talked about above in my 34 master.

 

Nice car and looks like a perfect fill to me. Not a fan of the green but still a nice car.

All I have left now is to make my own floor pan.

 

Floor pans from a 33Ford will work, (nobody re-pops the 33 chevy floor). Not too expensive either, and you just have to do some trimming.

 

I used a ford pinto
