1933 Steel Vicky Build

VERY IMPRESSIVE WORK !!!

Klaz

 

Thats hot! Nice job.

 

Did you you tig weld it or torch weld, great job Danny.

 

I use tig.

Thanks

 

Just doing a little more mock up with the hood and grill.

 

Man, you have brought back some memories! Growing up, we always had our 1934 Vicky in the garage. It was complete, but did not run. The car was gorgeous though. 20+ years it sat in the garage until my Dad sold it. He had bought the car in 1969 for $65.00!! Oh how I wish I had that car today! Your work is absolutely outstanding. Great job and thank you for sharing!

 

Just found pictures of our 34 Vicky. I always thought that the 33 and 34 were the same except for the grilles, but the body is different too. The rain gutter does not blend into the beltline like the 33. The decklid looks different to me too, but cannot tell for sure. Man I wish I still had this car!

 

That is a nice car!

 

With this quality of work you're worth a lot more than $50/hour!

 

I appreciate that I want to be able to offer people the best work I can produce with a price they can work with. I might have to up my rate later on to cover more of my overhead, but I don't see it going up much.

 

NICE JOB !!! Can I ask how young your are? Also how long have you been working with metal?

 

I'm 26, and Ive been working with metal for 4 years now.

 

good lord. you are on your way if that's how good you are at 26. beautiful work man.

 

Today was defiantly a milestone. The Vicky is finished!!! All I have to do now is bolt on everything and she's ready to sell.

Next week I will have a photo shoot here in the shop with the Vicky. Hopefully I can send the pictures to the major magazines like "Rodders Journal", "Rod and Custom", etc and get some response.

 

Looks good bro!

 

Man that is great work. I wish I had your patience!!

Well the skill would likely help as well

 

Can an old fart like me come by for some lessons great job Danny.

 

Wow!
All the while I was reading this, convinced that you were some crusty old metalworking guru who´d been doing the job for at least fifty years!

I´m also amazed at how different that ´34 Vicky is to the `33 here. Looks like it would be a whole other can of worms trying to perform that conversion. Seems that the `34 has a lot less in common with its Tudor sister than the `33 does.

Great work.

 

Outstanding work, thanks for taking the time to document your conversion. Great thread!

 

nice project.

 

Great looking build. Your workmanship is top notch! As a 34 owner/lover I really enjoyed following your project.

 

Got the Vicky loaded up today ready to take down to the LA Roadster Show. Ill be leaving tomorrow morning with some buddies. Maybe i'll see some of you down there.

 

do you have any pix of the build on the 32 vicky

 

Thanks for sharing all of the update pictures.

I enjoyed watching this unfold.

I got a couple pictures back from the photo shoot John Glover did on the car. They turned out incredible!!! This guy takes some of the best pictures I have ever seen.

Thanks john!!!!

 

Holy shit! That thing looks like you just stamped all those pieces last night. Cool.

 

Wow..that is amazing.
