1933 Pontiac

[Old Iron]

Thanks!!

To make that smooth transition from the original rear door to the rear window, did you use sections from the parts car rear doors? It looks like you have patches in there. It looks perfect!

The upper patches are from the rear door window frames from the project car and the lower patches came from the rear doors from the parts car.
There wasn't enough material from the doors of the original car.

I know there are different opinions and I respect them all however, I'm won't be chopping the roof or extending the front doors.

If Pontiac built a delivery, this is it. Perfect. [cl

Body is looking good. Opinions are just that. In reality you are building the car for you and not us. And some of us have been proven wrong before so we all wait and watch it come together. [cl[P

Then put half the hood on for a photo op

It looks great. ...very factory-like proportions

I got the roof all welded in and moved the body away from the lift.

Kudos. The proportions are perfect as is. Just cause it's a hot rod doesn't mean you have to chop it.

Nailed it.

 

[Old Iron]

Thanks everyone
I'm gonna give up a little more. The color that I'm gonna paint the car is Candy Apple Persimmon.
This was the color of John Mazmanian's 61 Vette drag car.
I found this in Street Thunder magazine after his death and it's been on the wall in my shop since.

Thanks everyone
Been having to do somethings to produce income so, haven't worked on the 33 for a few days.
I did move the rotisserie in the shop this afternoon. I'm gonna put pneumatic swivel tires on it then, it will be easier to move around on my gravel drive.
I'll mount the body on it and start installing the floorboards.

 

[Old Iron]

Well I have a little more done on the 33. I didn't put the floorboards in yet.
The cowl section on the black car showed some rust thru areas after some stripping so I cut the cowl off the parts car.
This is the areas that are bad, passenger side A pillar windshield lower seal and the air intake was rusted.

I removed all of these at the firewall to save time and this is the section cut from the parts car

I cut the bad area from the build car

Then welded in the replacement piece and ground the welds

I didn't show where I was fitting, welding and grinding, to save y'all from bored.
Next will be the floorboard.

Excellent job! I'm curious, how many hours did that transplant take?

 

[Snake Farm]

Now you're just showing off.

Very nice work man! That parts car has proved to be an invaluable asset hasn't it! [P[P[P

 

[I-R-POPS]

[Neverdone]
