Projects 33 chevy 3w....time for a cool change

It's all good Just having fun! It is what us old guys do.

 

redrim, redrim,redrim.........

 

I too don't have a rim color prejudice. I do however love to be part of good fun and razzing. It for me is just a non-elementary school way of saying I like you and think you're something special, xx, xo. [emoji7]

 

Its because our collective lives are so dull relative to our earlier years...

 

once i went black.......

 

ok, that's it, I don't need to know anymore...

I hope the judges will be lenient on you and look past the poor wheel color choice to see a beautiful car.[emoji41]

 

It was great talking to you @ SOUTHBURY SHOW.
I was very impressed with all your hard labor on that awesome 33.
When time allows, I`ll get started on my 34 3w. It will be OLD SCHOOL !
ALL THE WAY .

 

good talking to you also. good luck with your project, it sounds like a great one!

 

I was the fellow talking to you about your front axle setup. Didn't realize you were a HAMBer until I went back and looked your Chevy over closer and saw the badge and then realized I should have introduced myself. Fred

 

Hi Fred, good talking to you, look forward to pictures of your 36 and how the brake conversion works out. need any measurements or photos let me know.

Saw your car at the Fallout. What a great job !!!! Was looking around to meet you.

 

thanks, i recognized a few hamb vehicles! i would have liked to have hung out by the car but there were a lot of cars there i had not seen.

 

Fantastic story and work on your early chevy. Remember, anybody with a Drake catalog can build a ford, it takes real perseverance to do a chevy. Especially like the design of the black and white interior.
I speak from experience having done both.

 

thanks! it has been a fun project.

 

That's as true of a statement as there ever was!

 

i bought three of these lights at the fall out. parking lights for a 40 chevy pickup. i am thinking of mounting them to the inside of the fenders to be used for parking and turn signals. a little more traditional than the led i am using now.

 

i started by sand blasting them and welding up the little holes, then primed them. the original rims were rotten but i found a couple good ones in my stash. i couldn't use the original sockets and reflectors because the 1157na bulbs wouldn't fit, so i pounded a set of reflectors from a sheet of s.s., then trimmed them to fit.

 

Nice work. I think they'll look good.

Finally some Red on the parking lights . You are one crafty individual.

 

So they are going to be red???

 

thanks, i still don't know if i will use them. i need to find a way to stick them to the fenders so i can stand back and look at them.

mmmmmred and green.
thanks.

no RED!
i will paint these green to match the fenders. i think i want to have the rims chromed so they match the head lights. but maybe if they are all green they will blend in better.
thoughts?

 

I could dig through my stuff. I used to restore these lights. I think I have some mounts for them if you need them. I also make lenses for these if you need a set. I could make them in amber if you wanted them (I may have a set already done). I also make them in clear and red. I have the mold to cast them. I may also have some buckets and rims.

 

Can you use a strong magnet inside them to hold them to the fender for pretend time?

 

Double sided tape.
