Hot Rods The car I've been waiting for

Just one more aside, I don't know what DCR is and what kind of tree is it? Any more details on it? Then back to our regularly scheduled programming.

 

Just plugging "m*** DCR" in got this result. Sounds right.

What's in your garage?

 

Yup, @RodStRace correctamundo!
Cu***ber Magnolia tree. I never heard of it until we moved here

 

You're banging away, Looking good!

 

Beads not lining up. Got it cut and fit up better.

 

The p***enger door bottom is sticking out pretty bad. This stuff just bothers me, it's the first thing I look at when I get into the garage. Tonight I had enough. . . .

 

Pie cut the lower cowl and opened it up with a screwdriver and added some small diameter solid rod. Finish work to follow.

 

Looks good. Nice work .

 

More hacking

 

Snagged a hood holder- togetherer and some cowl vent parts this weekend. Also swiped another round of 'shellac' on the lower door

 

Oh yeah, I had a lightbulb moment a couple weeks ago. . . . . Mid 60s Thunderbirds had those wrap around back seats and I thought maybe that'll look cool in the 33. A few days later on the market place a kid was parting out a 64, mint
The bottom needs quite a bit more t******* but it looks pretty slick so far

 

Quite the idea! That's gonna look cool. Right now it looks like you and your gal would slide toward each other in the middle, lol.

 

I like the seat. After you narrowed the bottom frame for it are you just tucking the vinyl for the two halves down into the center? (they are pretty wide, I have one that I want to use in my '39 Merc sedan and the whole center needs to go for it to fit.)

 

Love the seat. Car is coming along nicely!

 

X2!!

 

If the fronts are in that nice of shape I'd love to have them - do you know if they were available?

 

This was a fun thread to read through, you are doing fantastic work!

Wasn't sure about the yellow at first but it grew on me as I kept reading.

Do you plan on keeping it yellow or a different color?

 

The front seats were there and available when I was there.

 

@Greenblade I plan to keep it yellow

 

The seat looks great! Fits like it was made for it.

 

Been messing with the subrails and floor in the back. I have many questions. . . .
I plan on making my rumble lid parts work- it's not going to be easy.
The inner structure is rotted, bondo'd, cut and hacked.

 

I have a working rumble lid on a repro/ gl*** body... would any photos help?

 

Yessir Mr. Smith pictures would be great thank you.
Meanwhile I fabbed up an inner bottom corner. Still needs final fitment but it fits pretty good so far

 

You are not intimidated at all by this project! Just banging away at it.
Also - Nice slippers. lol

 

Man, that car is a lot of work,...I gotta hand it to ya, you're doing a great job,...looks so much better already. Really enjoying this thread., Thanks fer posting.

 

Other side cut, fit, cut, fit, tack together
