1933 chevy tudor sedan aka Project Copper Tone!

Engines back in and she runs. No leaks I can see so far and oil pressure is staying steady at 45psi. I’ll get some video after I get the inner valve springs installed. Gotta work from 5am-6pm tomorrow so I probably won’t get back at it until Saturday.

So, I haven’t had a day off in a while, like since tuesday. So I haven’t been able to do anything extra. I do however get a 4 day weekend starting on wednesday. So this “weekend” I’m planning on replacing the valve springs, reinstall the grill, and rework the exhaust to fit with the moved back front axle. Then to get started on the diesel rod again.

Will you have time to take some pictures? [dr

 

[endicott_jb]

Im going to try to remember to take pictures and video once I get the springs changed out.

 

[endicott_jb]

Got the inner springs back in, oil changed from break in, and everything back together today. Didn’t get any video of it running but she sounds beastly. Hoping tomorrow after I get the oil changed in my truck I can move some junk around and get her outside for the first time in over a year. Then Ill be able to get the 31 back in the shop to iron out her kinks.

Lookin' real good. You have a heater? Gonna be a cold ride in Montana this time of year.

I really like this build, I have the 28 sedan build thread, and I've been lookking on ebay at heaters. You can buy a small one for $50 to $100. I think I'll stick one in mine just to keep the windshield from fogging.

 

[endicott_jb]

No heater in the 33 and probably wouldn’t do much good without windows. Won’t be a long drive when I do finally move it out of the shop anyway. Straight from the shop to the trailer so I can pull the 31 in.

 

[endicott_jb]

Got her out of the garage today. Thought 18 degrees and snowing would be a perfect chance to do a very short test drive. She’s a bit tighter on steering now that the front end has a bit more weight on it but I think a slightly longer pitman arm will fix that up. Stance wise, I think she is now perfect. A few small odds and ends to finish up but she runs great. Now to get moving on the 31 and ready for Vegas.

Looking good, [cl

A shorter pitman arm makes it easier to turn
