Great looking work. That racing picture of your grandpa's is priceless. Is the frame sides your own design?

 

Oh!, Your not gonna have any problem there. Proportions must not be of any concern to you at all.

 

Ya it's my design I had them drawn up in solid works and cut them on a cnc plasma table

 

Got the rear sections of the frame all tacked up and one of the front sections will have some pics tomorrow. I didn't take any of the front section before I left the shop

 

Got my motor all painted today it's still all masked up and drying in the pic striping and accent stuff tomorrow.

 

I got both frame rails put all the way together last night now it's time for cross members

 

Nice ride, I will follow the build and try to keep up. I'm building a 31 Chevy and I started around the same time. Keep up that high speed pace, It keeps ya from losing interest. Looks great and I cant wait to see more. When do you pan on having it rolling?

A few more weeks and it should be Rollin. Good to hear of someone else doin a chevy there aren't to many people doing them.

 

exciting build man. not for everyman, but love watching how you do. just got my 33 chevy master 4dr last week. it was half built, and put away 20 + years ago, now i'm finishing. it'll be a traditional build, keeping original paint for now, 40 year old paint w/ lots of patina. 350 700r4 ford 9in. photos and build coming soon.

great build/ looking for 1933 chevy two door sedan fenders, front and rear. tex1935 thanks texs@comcast.net

 

I give you full marks for building something different! And with a Packard mill no less - AWESOME! That racing pic was taken at the old Langford Speedway here in Victoria. What was your Grandpa's name? Regards, Dave.

 

I got my new front end and brakes all together. And the frame is all tacked together with temporary bracing. Now I am drawing the frame in solid works to make a 3D model so I can draw all the cross members to get them all cut out and built so I can install them this week.

 

Are you talking about Victoria Canada. My Grandpa's name is John Hausmann

 

Got the grill cut down tonight and welded back together

 

Yes, Victoria, B.C. Canada (on Vancouver Island) and yes, I do recall hearing your grandpa's name back in the 70's when it was my good fortune to meet many of his fellow racers when I myself ran oval track and also belonged to the Golden Wheels Fraternity which had a lot of the old guys who ran in the Northwest at various tracks as members. Your grandpa would have remembered Pike and Bud Green, Jack Spaulding, Digger Caldwell, Howie Stanley, Tony West, and many others. Regards, Dave.

 

Hello Dave,
This is rjlilhaus's uncle....my father is John Hausmann. I have many newspaper articles and pics from back in the day when he was involved in racing here in the Pacific Northwest. I have been to Victoria on two occasions and really enjoyed it...eight days on one vacation, and it was an awesome stay!

 

Got some more of the frame drawn and two of the cross members drawn The one pic is how much I have built. I will have more actual photos soon. I will be cutting the rest of the pieces for the cross members this week

 

I like your choice of engine, and glad you going to paint the car.

 

Hi Moto**X! I will send you a PM soon! Regards, Dave.

 

I know you have cross members cut already now lets see them welded in!

 

Got my crossmembers all put together and the front one all welded out and the rear is tacked in the frame. I will have some more pics soon of them all in the frame and some of the ****** one to.

 

more

 

I will have more by this weekend

 

Got the crossmembers in an all tacked up and the motor and ****** back in to check for fit. Now I can fixture the frame and start many hours of TIG'n them all. Should have my bags and other goodies this week to make all the links and stuff. Should be a roller shortly
