    Well finally found the time to get back working on my 3 window! I got a good start on it and then with a very busy summer, and a very busy dirtbike racing schedule. I never got enough time to put into the car. Winter time is upoun perfect time to put some quality time and effort and finally finish this car of mine! It so much work taking a finished hot rod and completey redoing everything. almost every nut and bolt has been replaced and that has been a headache! I am still needing a few extra parts for the front end to bolt on the shocks, mounts, headlights and headlight mounts. Oh and also the splash aprons! My favorite addition to the car is a McCullough superchager on my flathead. Well just thought id post some progress pictures of my build. Enjoy.

    Very cool.

    I have been seeing a bunch 33/34's styled like this lately. There was some other real cool ones at Bonneville this year. I like it alot.

    Next year at Bonneville it would be cool to get all the 33/34's like this and park them next to all the rolling bone styled 32's at the Hotel. That would be a neat picture!

    Nice build!

    Hey fellow Peckerhead. The coupe looks really good my friend. I have been bangin' away on my 34 5 window as well. Look for my build thread in the near future as I get a couple of things wrapped up. I love this car of yours Mike. It's perfect. Hope all you boys up in Reno are doing ok. Weather here in Tucson has been awesome the last few days. You guys getting snow yet? Dale

    Hello Mike, Great looking car. I would like to see some pictures of the trick safety latches installed. I recently got a pair from you and was surprised at the small size. They seemed bigger in the pictures. I really like them and have wanted a pair for my 32 3 window since I saw a pair
    on 3 window Larry's coupe. One thing I find curious is that when the handle is locked the script on the lock bar indicates unlocked? No big deal just seemed odd. Anyway thanks for sending them right along. MickeyC

    Hey there Dale! How's it going where you are? It's raining and snowing off and on all day. It's pretty nasty here and doesn't look promising for the next couple of days. Perfect time to work on the coupe. Took your advise on the rear model a crossmember and how it was grafted into the stock 33/34 one. I can't upload the picture of the rear end but it looks fantastic. The car really sits low for being a no channeled car. Thanks to you. :)

    KILLER!!! I love it!


    ...except for the yellow plug wires, which I'm****uming are not permanent since the hood is closed.;) j/k:D



    Seriously, the car rules! VERY nice work!
