Projects 1933 dodge coupe "Baleful"

Bondo and paint??? She's practically restored now.

 

Haha oh yeah shes all done! Wish i could find more info on how the mopar vinyl inserts work. All i can fimd is model a

 

What is it you're wanting to know? I think the original insert is still in my 33 pickup cab. Should be similar. Someone screwed a sheet metal cover over the opening. I'll see if I can get some pictures from the inside.

 

With a model a theres trim that holds it down, with mopars trying to figure out how to wrap and attach the material also how to seal it so it doesnt leak

 

Try this guy. And he's not too far from you

Dodge and Plymouth would be the same

 

Thanks! Called him and left a vm!

 

My avatar was my 32 Plymouth coupe, originally built in 1958- 49 Cad, Model A frame, 11" channel. Rebuilt in 1972, as seen. You can make this a great looking car. Even saw one on a deuce chassis, that looked good!
I have a 34 PE hood, a 33 Chrysler hood, and fiberglass Ai Dodge fenders & splash aprons, available outside Detroit, cheap, if you want to go that way. Also have a lot of info on 32-34 Mopars. Look on right b-pillar door jam for serial number tag. Good to apply for a lost title, too.

 

Awesome car! Thank you! I think i have a hood sourced as of now. Definitely can always use mopar information though

 

Hacked more filler off today! Lptta dents to pull

 

Following this with interest,as I have the front half of a 1934 PF 4 door sedan,1935 dodge truck front fenders.My plan is to make a 2 door woodie.

 

Thatd be badass!! Let me know if you need pics of anything

 

You need my buddy`s spare roof. ! Or his spare body with good doors.

 

Does your buddy have a spare, full size trunk lid? I need to buy or borrow one to make a copy for my coupe. I'm borrowing Oliver's to make a copy but his is a rumble seat lid.

 

If you check out the building of the Ram Rod on Steve's auto restorations website, you can see how they did things like making a grill shell ,kind of a combination of the original and 1934 ford,it gets the mind thinking.

 

Fun to see this poor old car getting some much needed love.

 

That roof would make me happy haha

 

Yeah thats really cool! I ordered a contour guage today, going to make some oak jacks to make patches for my grill

 

Do you have the car still? If so, I’d sure like to see a full size pic of it. Avatar looks nice!

 

The parts are located in Northwest Missouri. No extra trunk lids. I drove 300 miles(one way) to get the one I have. My buddy came with and bought the trailer load pictured above. + 6 doors and 2 decklids that came with the cars. No grille shells thou. And no fenders. I have extra fenders from another 200 mile trip.

 

Need some opinions! 1950 olds tail lights...upside down pic 1, right side up pic 2 or theyre ugly as hell?

 

What about sideways?

 

Just not feeling it with those lights. Too large in my view.

 

Curved, dont work sideways

 

Probably gonna run 50 Pontiac or 46-48 plymouth

 

Lower them down a few inches might look a bit better?

 

Huge thanks to dave! Long drive but worth it! He even graced me with a ride in his hemi powered fenderless. What a blast!

 

Oliver,next time you are out at your car could you do me a favor and place a straight edge on your frame and measure the rise of the frame over the front axel,compared to the top of the frame,basically, is the top of the frame,the same as the bottom of the frame over the axel?

 

It was nice to meet you in person Oliver ( @oliver westlund ) Next visit drive the '33 Dodge huh?

Dave

 

Absolutely, this evening or tomorrow

 

Oh youre on!
