Projects 1933 dodge coupe "Baleful"

Cut out the goofy i beam front axle and slid the tube under on some 14s, popped some leafs out too. Dont think im gonna have trouble getting her to sit down

 

Man, that car is begging to be channeled. Not sure what’s telling me that.

 

I know man!! Probem is...when i set a 2x6 flat on the floor and sit in it my head barely touches the roof.... it would look sooo cool channeled though. Taller tires in the rear and maybe 1 or 2 leafs less plus the weight of an engine and i think itll be sitting nice

 

@oliver westlund , congratulations! Nicely dolled up old house, especially the front. Good going!

Dave

 

Thanks! Very exciting! 1st house!

 

Scott made the long trek and maaaan....she looks good with a hood! Really appreciate it scott! Really changes the look....just have to make it a few inches longer. Lots of other good and very helpful parts as well but i cant get over how good it looks with the full sided truck hood!

 

That really sets it off and makes such a difference. Took it from looking like a pile of parts to a real project. Glad I could finally meet up. Been talking about it way too long. Hopefully I haven't caused too much of a distraction from the 53. Focus Focus Focus. Lol

 

Haha im distracted, im distracted! Nooo, i have to get dads car done... priority number 1. The 33 is gonna take life after the move

 

Model a coupe seat fits the 33 nice!

 

Dang! I had one of those and gave it to a good friend! Oh well, it has more than paid me back.

Glad to see a young guy come up in life and still drag his passion with him.

 

Just found this thread must find the time to read right through it. Know a guy over here that had a fibreglass version and really liked it. The thing with the Plymouth is that it that bit different that make it stand out against a Ford of the same period. Good luck with the build.

 

Thanks! Nothin wrong with a good ford rod but i definitely spend a lot more time gawking at the stuff thats different so thats what im building!

 

Appreciate it! Just hope i can drive either of my rods inside the next year or 2

 

With a jig saw, some wood and foam you and i could crank out an almost perfect 33 dodge seat for your rod inside a cpl hours, once the fabrics stretched nobody would be the wiser!

 

Hammer formed a cpl small patches tonight, closer and closer

 

Scored today, picked up a cpl shop accessories for the new/old shop. Nothin like workin on old cars with old tools, both are 1950s i believe, cast, heavy, well running (hardly used) and just awesome!!!

 

Being king seeley made products (a branch of gm) these are basically chevys or oldsmobiles...

 

Cool vise . You know I have that same Craftsman grinder I bought a few years ago . Will take a pic and post.

 

Cool! Look forward to it!

 

Well...the first house didnt work out, or the second or the third.... but we finally closed on a place! Shop is small but i have plans and it should work! Here are some before pics! Got the keys today

 

Theres a carport attached to the shop space too

 

Just needs a steel beam down the center to get rid of all those posts.

 

Roofs droopy, they couldve used 2 posts instead of 3, hackjob haha. It needs some lovin

 

And possibly a door big enough to get a car through........

 

Its getting barn doors. 8 ft wide

 

Some shelves out, bottle jacked roof and replaced some tom foolery. Barn doors in progress! Shop appears to be from around the 1940s and built out of reclaimed wood. Used to have a big door that was framed in. It was in the wrong spot for the lot as it sits now so the barn doors will go on the side!

 

4x8 is up, gotta secure it then cut my hole

 

Hey look! A door!
