1933 Ford Panel Hot Rod

Now you have me totally wondering what is going on in your hot rod mind!?. -KK -
Brother, you startled me! Snuck up on me, there!! Funny you should key in on those... had fun with the carbs over the last couple of days! Based on where they came out from under the engine hatch, the Block and Tranny had to be moved forward just a tad: So I had to add a short extension between the bulkhead & the two speed tranny: And, that set in motion yet another minor relocation: the cockpit, because it attached to the engine stringers. Just a little finish work on the engine hatch... and, then back on the Rack (as @Rocking Rodney Rat says! -KK

Back on the Woodpecker Speed Boat Engine Hatch Here's where I could have made a better decision regarding opening the hatch from the underside of the deck... I now know, in hindsight, this would have come away just a bit more true to the deck design had I gone through from the topside. Following the inner hatch brace as a guide was very close to the deck lines from the topside of the hatch. Truing up the deck opening and adding the outer hatch border still needs a little klean up... Nice finishing touch to the hatch opening... lines up the hatch opening up with the deck design. Klamping down the hatch to it's new backbone hinge brace. We'll see how it all fits together, next time. -KK

ADL, Just checkin' in and following up on the '33 Panel project... any update for your fine followers? -KK -
ADL, I guess I'll have to figure out another way of expressing my sincere appreciation for your classic style and grace in bringing traditional hot rod ques and period perfect parts together! I know we go way back and I've been privileged to be one of your mentors along with @Rockin' Rodney Rat and truly commend you on how well your skills and execution have improved over the past few years. This little koop is again right up there with all of your other very kemp rods in your model stable. I know RRR feels very much the same as I do... keep up the good work and know that a fortunate few are now your faithful followers and are learning about and seeing the 60's hot rod scene through your kool kreations! -KK

Got a little time at the bench over the weekend working on the Woodpecker Speed Boat... added a brace & a little uplift to the bow deck support... If you look a bit closer, you can see what having the deck stretched over the bulkheads has accomplished! This shows the net effect of stretching: Had to fill around the center plank: After a bit of sanding... the deck goes back to the stretcher! -KK
