@Rocking Rodney Rat and I basically didn’t give @Kit Karson a choice that he had to finish this model now that his ‘29 XPU and Roadster combo is finished. So for everyone else watching , you’re welcome! ?

This is great...

Man if this was a kit and had fenders I'd be all over it

Yeah, what ADL said, get back on this, KK!!!! -RRR

[Kit Karson]

Yesterday I sat down for the first time to reacquaint myself with where I left off with the '33 3W coupe...

A close look shows areas of bodywork that will need to be cleaned up...

Pins & holes all cleaned up... the piece above the rear inner fender wells is a valance that goes between the rear pan under the trunk lid and the frame...

 

More pins! -KK

[Dennis Lacy]

Love it! So glad to see it back on the front burner. ?

[Bainford]

Yup, me too! Just had a cruise through the thread to get up to speed again.

Great work KK! I’ll have to live vicariously through your build thread as my 33, 3 window is on hold atm. 

[beeRS]

Just checked out this amazing thread from the beginning. This must be the best 33 I’ve ever seen in scale. I’m in awe of the attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing the progress. 

[Rocking Rodney Rat]

Seeing those alligator clips on the body made me cringe, I hope they didn't leave any lasting damage! It's good to see you back at it... -RRR

[mustang1989]

Some very clean and tidy work on those window sills. Nicely done.

[bill-e-boy]

Good to see this back in the workshop getting the attention that it deserves - KOOL

[adamelvis]

Your body shop does great work ! LOL.
