    Looks like a good purchase, what is the story behind it and what are your plans for the build?
     
  10. 33_3windowchannelled.jpg Looks like you have a great start. When I think of 33-34 three windows, this is what I think of...

    I'm the third owner. It's been hanging in the rafters of a warehouse since 1973. I'm going to build a period correct 50's Bonneville car.

    I absolutely love this body style. Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with this project. What doors are those? They don't look like original doors lol

    A " period correct" bonneville car would be a roach , those cars were gutted racecars little more than a frame A belly pan and some body pannels
     
  24. Wow, an unchopped 3 window. Rare to find one. Is it as solid as she looks?

    It won't be rare anymore if he does make it into a Bonneville car.

    I'm glad youre not gutting it. I've always wanted to build a lakes car out of a 34 like what Verne Hammond did. Just not as extreme of a chop

    OK. Guys I'm not hacking anything out of anything. No chopping, No Channeling, No Filling in top. Nothing will change on this body. Believe me I paid plenty for this thing why would I start hacking stuff up? I like the look of a car without finders. I like 50's builds. No it will not be a 90's street rod looking car. No it will not be a race car. Thank you all for looking and all the nice comments.
