Turned my new 33 phaeton into a roadster!!!

Nice score and glad the Phaeton stayed in the family. Keep us updated on both builds.

 

Chris, Looks like your family will have open air cruising sewed up. My vote is for fenders !

 

Hey Chris
I may be behind the times, but did you get the 32 roadster pieced together, got any pics of it too.
PS: The roadster looks killer, great score dude.

wow man some guys got all the luck ...good luck with it..

 

Chris looks Great!!!! Please call me and let me know what your doing with the *** end of the Phaeton... I may want it.... Lucky

 

man chris you really make it look easy,hey need get with u ! fixin to tear into my 36 finally now that i got my c-danmaybe we can do tradin on some parts..looks good man

 

Chris, that looks like Ron's place? Nice roadster.

 

WOW! if everyone was jealous before... this is a whole new level of loathing! hahaha i kid,i kid, take it places maaan, i know you will.

 

1 vote for fender less. Love that bad*** look!

 

I'm starting a I Hate Chris fan club...

 

Boy Ron has some money I should call him up and sell him some stuff. Glad to see you got that roadster that is alot neater than a phaeton. I am jealous.

 

Just to keep the controversy going, put in my vote for having this one with fenders. I just don't think the '33/'34's have the lines to take the fenders off and have a "complete" look like the '32's and earlier.

Jeff, I'm still diein over here.You kill me!

 

Wow! As the hot rod world turns...nice score and glad to see the phaeton go to a good home too. How exciting, I'm really happy for you Chris.

 

I disagree. Here is my friend Rory Forbes just finished 34 roadster. Care to reconsider that statement Frank? Looks pretty "complete" to me. I'm just saying.. Nice score Chris. Here's my vote.

 

Awsome, i think youve upgraded to the top of the 33 list!

looks like fun

JEFF

 

i dont usually like 34 grills but that looks AWESOME on these cars!

 

Fenderless!

 

That looks like a keeper! I can't wait until next month to see what you aquire then. You are one of the best old tin finders out there! Nice score.

 

AND NOW the fun begins!!!!!!!! Good luck!!!!!!!!

 

I'm happy for your dad, hahaha because I think that Phaeton is killer, I'd like to own something with more seating in the future. If it's going to be in the 30's it'd be a phaeton, for sure. Is that roadster more rare or something? Is that why it's more desirable?

I do think it's cool that the phaeton stayed in the family as well as scoring another really cool project... this is in a LOT better shaper than that coupe, for sure.

 

When putting it together use steel rather than wood, make it safer for your family. Why take the gamble of it crumbling in an accident?
Is an awesome score though I'm stuck on the fence, I like both fender less and fully fendered......

Doc.

 

Wow, that's awesome...

If he swaps this for a steel 3 window I'll join you....

Cheers,

Drewfus

 

Now I have to come over AGAIN?

 

good idea, But wouldn't that mean only the waist down would be uncrumbled?

 

Awesome...

I used to not really care for the larger '33-4 models... but the more I see done "right" the more I REALLY like them... even more than the '32 model...

Keep us posted!

Sam

 

................... in post #1

........."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"

 

Yeah, that's neat but it's not like it's a 3W or anything.

Another good score for Chris Swindleson...I mean Swenson.

That channeled Rory Forbes car makes my sticker peck out. Going fenderless certainly doesn't as much as the alternative.

I think everyone who says that it should have fenders should be obligated to pitch in for a set and a pair of running boards. I mean it's not like they're expensive or anything...

 

Highboy with a super low carson style top. ****ing dig these year roadsters hard..

 

Congrats Chris! That's gonna be a killer car! Glad the Phaeton stays in family!
