    from the gulfcoast. my first streetrod project , no floor, just a flimsy shell of a33 chevy 3-wdw coupe. I have no dimensions to go by, in order to make afloor pan, width, length etc, have fenders and frame, but no clue about where to get dimensions from, especially right in front of the rear wheels. clueless.

    Welcome I own one of those 33 3 window chevys and it was flimsy and I started with the ch***is and built a floor pan and worked my way up it's a great feeling when you can open and close the doors the first time without vise grips .Mine is a mercury series coupe !!

    Try here on a search first. If you cant find it Go to ebay. There is a guy that sells them there .I found my 51 mercury coupe there. Then Post them here for someone else to use.

    Welcome from New Hampshire. I'm working on a 33 Chevy Cabriolet. I'm replacing all the wood with steel. I mounted it to an original ch***is that we modified. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.
