Lots of cruises planned for New Years day by several groups I know. We are near the Santa Barbara area so we have lots of back roads to cover and...
Put the webbing you will be happen you did. Cut to fit so there is no overhang showing.
Gary, stay in business but stay away from the welders. Hire a young buck to do the welding in another building or protective area. You don't get a...
This thread is 10 years old but I still like the look. The problem is finding the old Buick backing plates. Our salvage yards are almost all gone...
Sorry to hear that Gary. I have two friends who have had them installed and were told by their doctors not to TIG weld...PERIOD. I would check...
I like your roadster project. Keep posting the photos.
I was at the first one and will be at the 50th.
Sorry about your friend and happy that you have inherited my favorite Woodie. The 1940 is a collector's/Hot Rodder's first choice when seeking a...
Henry used so much wood in the 33-36 roadsters/phaetons that is very expensive to replace in wood. I use steel and like the ease of working and...
Here are the two 38 & 39 standards side by side so you can spot the difference.[ATTACH][ATTACH]
Outstanding engineering and workmanship displayed in this thread. Thanks for the words and photos. You have the touch.
Nice work on the project. Someone had some talent in fabrication of the chassis and body.
Congrats to the team!
Phillip Marks makes pieces. He took over the Nick Alexander business. He is located in LA. Also Chris Messano builds the best wood out there. He...

Thanks, great photos and I like the interior shots!
Very nice write up and well engineered top. Super Job!
I use them all the time and don't have any problem. They make both right and left side brackets.
You can make anything work, it's a Hot Rod. I have built (25) 32 Fords and never moved the rear end from the original position. I have used the...
^^^^^^ What he said. Various lengths of bungs are available.
Glad you are staying in the garage. My old body has a difficult time these days. The mind tells me to go ahead and the body tells me you are crazy!
Very cute! He is adorable!
Definitely a score for a 33 roadster as they are rare in our area.
Don't cut up that Phaeton John.
I'm 77 and decided last year to sell all of my 34 parts as my old body would not allow me to do the things I love to do. I made a list, put it on...
In my past experience, 77 years old, a Walker is the only radiator I would purchase. I have owned several and they last for many, many years. The...
Nicely done and well thought out! I made mine on the 33 out of steel and used the Hickey to. bend the tubes. [ATTACH]
Met Bill when I was with NSRA. He was a true Hot Rodder and will be missed!
