Turned my new 33 phaeton into a roadster!!!

Man oh man how the world works. as a lot of you guys know I bought a decent 33 phaeton from Hamber ContinentalJohn a month or so back. Well, what no one really knows is what provoked me to buy it. I had heard about a 34 roadster that a friend of mine had in Portland. I wanted it bad but things didn't work out and it sold to a guy on the east coast. So I figured I would never get a roadster, talked to John on his Phaeton and struck a deal.

Fast forward to last week. My friend with that roadster called me and asked if I was still interested in it, as the orriginal buyer could not get the money. Of course I was, but now didn't have any money. Well, my Dad jumped at the opportunity to own the phaeton so a deal was made that if I bought the roadster he would buy the tub from me. We went down and looked at the roadster yesterday and I bought it. Made my Dad really happy

The roadster is all in pieces, but what is there is really decent. Needs some common repair panels, but it is a very strait car and 99% complete (body wise). Got it home, got the phaeton over to my Dads, and mocked up the roadster. Needless to say I am stoked, this really is a dream come true. Has a super *****in chopped windshield and stantions that came with it. I need to get a wood kit for it and start making it structural. Funny how things work out sometimes!!

This is just mocked up, nothing aligned so it's all out of square. Pretty torn on fenders or fenderless...leaning on highboy.

 

Thank God! I thought you cut something up.

 

HO LEE **** DUDE!

Nice.

 

Fenders all the way......They just make a 34 Roadster....
Friend of mine here just p***ed away and his estate is selling his 34 Roadster...get in, turn key and ride....48 merc and juice brakes ,ex Ford mechanic and car needs nothing..
100% Henry Steel....Way beyond my pocketbook however...

 

That there's whatcha call yer basic win-win situation!!!!

 

You trade cars more than me.... Looks like a fun project. Glad the Phaeton is staying in the family.

 

You MUST be the luckiest SOB in the PNW.

Can't wait to see this one come together!

You are a man of action, Chris. Congratulations...but now what about the family? : )

 

Good for you

33 roadster is at the top of my wish list.

 

We Also brought back a 29 roadster for Logan. Two more roadsters in Washington, "The Roadster State"! That 34 looks so bad***!

 

As is said around hockey rinks in these parts............

SCORE!!!!!

Cool story too.

 

Fenders, Fenders, Fenders

Fenders Chris....Fenders. Not the Geetar but the actual fenders for your roadster is the only way to go.

Nice acquisition.

 

Man, I was happy witht eh Phaeton.........now I am just happier!

 

Is that a Sasquatch is the background or......... Viva La PNW!!!! You guys definitely have some rad cars!!! Chris you know I love it and I am really happy for you dude. That car is going to be killer.




P.S. is that another brother or family member you didn't tell me about????

 

Damn, nice find! I might have kept the Phaeton...but I guess it didn't get to far away.

 

It baffles me as to why you would even want all that old junk you keep pickin up!! Ha!
Nice score Chris. Now quit posing for pictures and start working on the damn thing. Do you realize what kind of time you are wasting??!!
D.

 

Looks just like what my dad started with.

Good luck

 

So, you were down buying all Ron`s stuff,eh? You should have tried hard to buy the Coupe....A couple of months ago when I was `round there he was threatening to get it gone...

 

You guys ****! here in southwest Florida the bottom 18 inches is gone and the rest has rustthru and scale. Congrats you lucky_________

 

Wish you worded that ***le differently, you had me worried! Glad Dad is happy, now find some fenders!

 

Me,too !!!! that ***le scared the hell out of me !!!
Good luck with both cars !!!!

Man I thought, what the hell!!!!!!! I love those phaetons. I'm glad I read the whole thing.

 

Chris , WOW a roadster and like it was said the pheaton didn't need to be cut up HA HA HA. She looks like a great start and its cool that your PoPs got the Pheaton too. I can't wait to see both of them being built!

 

Chris the 33 looks great, can not wait to see it in person. Maybe one night this week I will come by and check it out, then you can come by and see the Model A. Let me know what works for you.

 

Looks good, but I like the tub better, but then again I'm a weirdo.. lol can't wait to see it done

 

God Damnit Jeffrey.....I just spit my beer into my keyboard and if that werent bad enough....its Sunday and you cant buy more beer on Sunday in Indiana.....

That will be a nice ride.....

NICE SAVE! Are you going to rig a jig to get it straight or go for it on the ch***is?

 

Lucky Fella. You better go buy a lotto ticket now! haha
