Projects 33-3W 16yrs in the making

16 years ago I got the chance to buy a real rough 33-3W. My vision for this project was to build a Salt/Drag car like they would have done in the 50's. I know everything is not period correct, but I am happy with how it turned out so far. Friday Sept. 4th I took it for it's first ride, after 16yrs of start and stop work. Here are a few pics of it's evolution. Thanks for looking.

 

Man that looks killer. Awesome car. Congrats for sticking with it and getting it finished.

 

Wow....now that's a HOT ROD!

The talent on the H.A.M.B. is amazing.

 

Outstanding. Congratulations on sticking with your vision, not an easy task for 16 years.

 

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

SWEET - & a blown Buick to boot.... Really nice - have fun with it.

NICE work. The rear shot of that car is particularly bitchn'.

And I thought my 9 year project was a long time,twice that is a lifetime!

Congratulations on your perseverance! HRP

Perfect color too. Like who would paint that #itch white ... right ? Love it.

 

Damn, Gene, that looks good! Taking it to Watertown?

 

Damn nice

 

That is one fine looking hot rod. You have a right to be proud of it.

 

Good job Gene!

 

Well Mr Jobgen,

That is one Hell of a Hot Rod. Upload us a Short video

 

That's cool....tell us more about the blown nailhead!

 

Great perseverance for sure, but that extended front is just not swinging my cat.

 

Yup, hope to get there Friday night.

 

It is a 1956 322 bored 30 over. The blower is a 471 Cragar that I found about 10 years ago.

 

Beautiful ,Looked like it had started out as a marble storage bin. [all the dings]

 

We can all see the period it fits. It's simply bitchin...PERIOD! Nice car.

 

Sensational, good things like this are well worth the wait. Well done on a great build...

 

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. One of my employees shot a cell phone video of the maiden drive. I will see if he will post it.

 

The car was found in the Hills and it had been tore in half by a log picker. The guy I got it from tried to put it back together, but it was too much of a project for him. Wish I had earlier pics but at that time I did not have a digital camera or computer. Most of the marble dings were caused by a body hammer in the wrong hands./

 

Hats off to you for sticking with it. It turned out great.

 

Holy Smokin' Hot Rod!

 

Bad ass

 

16 years well spent...
Very nice
