roadster weather in minnesota and the Rocky 33 gets a garage mate

a freind of mine , a non-Hamber and current owner of the famous Rocky 33 , put this together over the winter with help from his son ..34cpe5w

it has a boxed original frame , 8" rear , pete & jakes front hairpins and rear ladder bars , magnum 5" dropped axle , 16" wheels with 4.50 and 7.50 tires and a well used 327/350

we just couldn't resist going for a test drive today, with the temp up to a mild 23 degrees.

sorry for the poor picture, it's the only one that came out with my cheap crappy camera


what do you all think?

 

Holy Crap, that thing is perfect! Love the paint job.-MIKE

 

lookin goood... i like the full hood and tall winshield

same scene in pittsburgh with the snow but my car isnt running yet !

hope ya had fun !!!

 

WOW man thats bitchin, I dig it.

 

Cool! (pun intended)


Looks like the same small town I live in.

 

It works for me!!! I would have thought a 5" axle would be too much but that looks perfect.

 

is that the guy i met when we did the machine work on my roadster???

that RULES

Wonder Warthog is the shit!

 

Mexican blanket and snow.

Goes together like Jamaicans and bobsleds.

 

Nice roadster, I bet that was a cold ride. I wondered what happened to Rocky's 33. Glad to see it's still around. later shawn

 

Awesome car! I like everything about it. I do kinda feel like an Army Surplus wool blanket might be more appropriate so far away from the southern border, though.

Any plans for paint or is it just going to remain au naturale?

 

Nice looking car, us Minnesotans have to drive when we can.

 

yes , that is the guy! his plan is to leave the finish alone...it's done

 

Excellent...I love it!

Thanks for sharing.

So which one was telling another HAMBer at BTT50s that HE built the 33? Rocky wasnt mentioned as he should have been. Credit where its due man............................

 

Now I know why I did not get my '33 done, cuz I had to work on Dad's car!

Looks like you had a good time out. See ya soon.

i don't know anything about it , it wasn't me....i beleive several different people were driving it that week end

i know how it feels not to get credit....a `32 ford 5-window i built for a guy was there too..being driven by the son of the guy i buillt it for,he told everybody he built it , and did they have any questions about the car? he did this right in front of me several times! until someone DID have a question..which he couldn't answer....he turned to me to bail him out, i walked away.. with him looking like the idiot he is


the actual owner is a stand up guy , real easy going....and admits to everyone he just paid to have it built

 

SWEET!!!

that car is perfect!

look forward to seein it around!

I dig it!

I'd think about chopping the windshield though.

But what do I know, I drive a farm car.

 

That car is perfect. I love the stance and the finish. One built like that with a chassis (flathead) like Tardel and Bishop put under Bluey would be a killer combination to.
