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

i was going to go with a black fabric, like i had it and even bought the black material, then i decided it really had to be white like my dad had it. i like it with the black trim strip because it picks up on the "black around white" theme of the tires and interior. next step will be white running board covers, like my dad had, but with a black band.

thanks moose

he is fast......but not this fast.

thanks.

 

Stopped by today. Car looks great. Just a headliner and a few small pieces and Ted will be burning rubber.
(had to park in the official "photo" spot)

 

hood on; and here is the difference between a mercury [standard series] and a master.

 

today i installed the seat belts, and adjusted hood. i also added a chunk of rubber bumper on the lower side of each hood side so when the hood is open it can rest against the body without scratching it. i also added a piece to the support rod to do the same in the front.

 

a couple cool shots to bore you with;

 

Hmm that didn't work, I'm not the least bit bored looking at pictures of your cool 33 Chevy coupe!

 

The 33 looks great! What are you going to do with your time now that it's near complete?

 

My vote goes to the V12 Chevy powered Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang clone. Bob

 

well, i tried

the wife has a list of honey-do's that has been growing.

i would love to get that project started but there are a few projects ahead of it..........shed floor, driveway, 10 cords of wood, finish landscaping,........all before the snow flies.

 

Soooo....With a list of TO DO's that long I guess the 33 will just have to sit in the garage

 

I got a preview shot the other day when no one was looking. Don't leave the keys in it!

I am amazed how small the car looks all together. Glad he left the taillight lenses red.

 

What model is this? Look at the small space from the door hinge to the hood and the angle of the rear hood . Is this a Chevy?

 

Not bored here also, your dad has to be one happy guy. Now you two have to go and rip up the streets. That chebby is just beautiful! Great job man.

 

Yep, it's a '34/'35 Chevy Standard series.

 

If you need someone to drive it and make sure everything is working OK while your busy with the honey-do list I would be willing to put my list on hold and volunteer to put a few miles on it for you! You know, just trying to be helpful so nothing gets left undone.

 

i promised myself i would not renew the reg till it was done, will have plates by the end of the week at which time my dad will be running the wheels off it.......i may never get it back......

that is a good shot....too bad the wheels weren't red.

thanks, at "guy night" the other day he had a smile you could not have smacked off with a stick.

that is very kind of you

 

Looks like a 34 Three Windowe or a 35 standard which are essentially the same style.

 

It's not the same style, the one looks like a street rod [emoji6]
They look nice! but they ain't as cool as tb33 and3rd car!!!!

 

Greate car ! Greate job! tb33anda3rd

 

thanks guys!

 

Damn, you sure get up early to post! I'm still in bed dreaming about your car.

 

got it registered today.........time for a test drive.

 

Congratulations! Hardest part of building a Hot Rod! When do I get a ride?

 

What you finished before Bob? Im looking forward to seeing the completed car maybe at Southbury.

 

O'boy now the fun beings. Good on you man, you've earned it!

 

soon, of course it down poured, by the time i finished working and was ready to drive it.
gave me time to get the windshield wiper in that arrived yesterday.

did i finish before Bob? he has been working on it.
i should be at southbury, i will see you there!

thanks, hopefully get some good weather and some time to test it tomorrow, if not definitely this weekend!

 

Congrats!!! Job well done. After all that hard work it's time to enjoy it with your Dad. I hope he enjoys his ride.
Tom

 

Outstanding! Job Well Done! You and Pop Should Be VERY PROUD!

 

It does have Dover Drag Strip history, we need to push him to get it on the show field at Hershey in 2016! Bobby will be finishing all my car projects, he knows a lot more about wiring them than I do. Bob

 

thanks, we plan to keep it moving

thanks, it feels good!

that might be a plan!
