Projects 1933 Vicky Sold!!! Going to Moal Coachbuilders..Tons of Pictures

Well I never thought this day would come But I officially sold the Vicky to Steve Moal at Moal Coachbuilders in Oakland California.

I sold steve the body of the Vicky. And it's going to be built for one of their repeat customers.

Ill be taking the body down there tomorrow, then touring their shop as well as Roy Brizio's shop. Ill be posting pictures for you guys as it goes along.

Thanks for everyone's kind words on the build of this project. It was a blast sharing it with you guys. And I'll defiantly be posting pictures as Steve updates me on the build there at his shop.



All packaged up and ready to load:

 

Tim Allen?

And congrats, enjoy the shop tours...Brizio's is cool, you never know what you will find in there.

 

is steve a hamber?

 

No, he heard about my vicky from Brizio.

 

Cool, generating funds is always a good thing! Looking forward to the tour pics.

 

So are you starting a '33 '34 Roadster project with the leftovers?

 

That's awesome. You realize that if the economy wasn't as bad as it has been you would have sold that body months ago. I kept seeing it come back to the top of the classifieds and couldn't believe you still had it.
Also while at Brizio's you will probably get some business from it being there when everyone sees the quality of you metalwork. Congrats!!

That's cool, I could not believe that it did not get scooped up earlier. yeah it was a shit laod of money but I think it was worth it.

 

Here is the plan: Use the frame and turn it into a hot rod roller. Drop axle, juice brakes, banjo, setup for a flathead and 39 trans. Get it to sit low like my 32' sedan.

Then Get a 2 door sedan, and roadster quarters and build a 3 window coupe. Chop it bonneville style heavy like 5" to 6".

Get it all put together as a bonneville roller and sell it........anyone interested in me building for you



Similar chop like this:











Styled front end like this maybe:

 

Damn if I had the cash!!!! Shit I wish I had the cash for you to bring back my '32 from the depths of despair.

 

If i win the lotto today i will definetly buy it!..that is one of my dream cars!..nice metal work on the 33' by the way...

 

That body is a work of art.Copying something that already exists and doing it well is the hardest thing to do in the world.You did it in spades!

 

At least it's going from good hands to good hands. Steve and his son are good people. Wouldn't suprise me if it was for Tim, he loves early fords.

 

Well sorry it is going away, but you will love touring Steve's shop. They are a great group down there, Steve and his family. They have a remarkable metal man who built that Ferrari engined special that was on here about 3 months ago. Have fun and say hey to Mike and Dave his sons.

 

Last name is Kilroy, can't remember first. He's an English guy, and man can he work an english wheel. Saw him on the Rides episode. He's building a stunt bi-plane, from scratch!. Some crazy talent in that guy.

Trade for a nice '36 Ford 5w project on a TCI chassis? A '33/'34 Ford, especially bonneville style with the hard chop is about the only thing that would get me to come off my '36. Love your work by the way.

 

Cool. Come see us at Goodguys too if you want.

 

Congratulations on selling your 33 Vicki. Like others on here I have admired your talent and skills for a long time and also like many others on here would have stepped up to get the Vicki and the Willy’s if it were affordable for me also.

 

Blasphemy! But that coupe that Rudy built pictured does look pretty bitchin... Oh, and fix your wagon.

 

Cool! Glad to know your Vicky is going to be in good hands. Please say Hi to Roy from his buddies in El Paso!

 

Ahh! Busted!

 

Did you sell the truck cab you had?

 

Someone recently told me you moved from the L A area. Any thoughts of returning or are you set in Utah? How about a history lesson on you? All I know is you do OUTSTANDING work.

 

Ya sold the truck to a guy in Florida.

 

Actually Ive been here in utah the whole time Probably will stay too.

Learned metal shaping from Cris Boggess at the local college. Durring my courses I built an all aluminum 1940 willys coupe. Then when I graduated I open Salt Flats Speed Shop. Ive been focusing on metal shaping and chassis building. Some of the projects Ive had in the shop are as follows:

1955 Mercedes gullwing
1932 3 window
1932 pickup
1936 3 window
1933 willys

Im sure there are more but those are a few.

 

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure I'm not the only one watching you build the 2 door sedan. Sometimes knowing where you came from can tell where you're going. Thanks!

 

Ok so here is the update on the trip: (Give this a few min. There are plenty of pictures)

Friday we dropped off the Vicky to Moals and toured their shop. I met the new owner of the vicky. His name is Eric Zausner. He is Steve Moals main man, and they finish him a car every couple years.

They have a lot of incredible build going on right now. Here are some pictures:


Me handing over the 33' to Steve Moals capable hands.

Eric's 36' roadster


















Next we went over to Eric's place and saw his collection:

His 32' roadster:

















Next was Roy Brizio's place. They had lots of cool projects there. Plenty of my favorite 32's





























That's all the pictures from the trip. I defiantly came home with a renewed drive to pick up the pace here at my shop. Hope some day I can have people as excited as I was to come see my shop.

 

From what I've seen your work is right up there with the best of them !

 

Looks like a good trip. It's always nice to see what the big boys are doing.

 

Is your '36 5-window-turned 3-window ever going to see the light of day again?
