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

Crazy Teenagers!

 

check this teenager out!...........felt just like he remembered it.

 

That picture is priceless, what a neat deal for your Dad to once again feel the joy of sitting behind the wheel of such s cool hot rod

 

Dad looks like he approves! Great he gets to take it for a spin after all this time. Always brings a smile to my Dad when I bring him for a ride in mine.

I love the sound of a high revving small block

 

he worked hard helping to getting it to this point.
of course it was a ghost town around there when the sanding started

 

me too! it has a buzzing/wizzing sound at high rpms and i am not sure if it is the air rushing through the air cleaner screen or the generator.

 

They say that healthy eating and excecice will keep a guy young.
You prove beond reason of doubt there a other ways to do it!

Normally after a long and hard work session, people looks beat and tired, you lads look young and fresh again!! And happy

Keep at it, lads!

 

Damn this thread is awesome.

 

The last time I saw your Dad in that position He had hair! But wait, so did I "Great Shot"

 

worked on a few little details tonight. made a door for the "glove box" in the package tray. took a piece of 3/8 plywood and drilled and filed a hole for a lock cylinder, i did not need to have this lock but it is a nice clean "knob" that when the key is removed will allow for a flat tray. i used some art deco cabinet hinges i saved. the door and the package tray will be covered in the same vinyl as the seats.

 

i also put some latches to hold the battery cover down. i wanted the cover to be able to be removed so one side uses the old style storm window hooks and brackets. the lid hooks get inserted into the latches at an angle, then the lid is closed. on the "loose" side i put a lock clasp and will use a spring clip to keep it closed.
i also wanted to be able to secure my toolbox to the top of the battery box. this gives me the most room left for storage........ i will use some belting through the loops to hold it in place.

 

That's one classy toolbox, for an nice ride.

What's the story behind that?

 

found it at a "garage" cleanup we did. i cleaned it up and used a flat clear varnish to protect the patina. i also varnished it to keep the surface rust from transferring to the upholstery, carpet or my clothes.
the u s was added but i liked it and left it on, it fits the look with the "wing" embossing.

 

visit from roaduster this evening.

 

This photo spot is becoming HAMB haloed ground, I don't know when I can get my car or truck there but it's on the list. You should charge admission.

 

Ford trespassing ... up to no good. Probably gonna' have a dead spot from leaking fluids. Make sure he didn't leave any nails in the grass, either.

 

Thanks Ted, I"ll drive the other car over next time. Had a good day and your car looks great.

 

He took my spot!

 

no charge. come on up!

it's a buick motor......no leaks.

thanks Frank. yeah we can snap another shot.

plenty of room!

 

VERY CQQL ALL AROUND!

 

dropped car off to finish the headliner and the white running board covers.

 

I like it better every time I see another picture of it! It is just so cool

 

It has a mower attachment on the back.

 

I'll have to put that spot on my cars picture bucket list

 

thanks!

thanks, i will post pictures when the headliner is done.

any help mowing is appreciated!

chevys do look good there. any time your in the area.

 

So, you are pointing at Superman? The car looks better every time I see it.

 

that's Brian, the owner/craftsman at the upholstery shop. i think he was either pointing to a spot on the roof where he had room to park it or explaining the height of the bill when it is done.

 

Ya, what it will cost. Very funny!

 

mallomike stopped by the upholstery shop and took a couple pics of the interior in progress.
