Speedpro Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 (edited) A couple months back this project was shipped to kalispell Montana to have what was a quick paint job to help out a friend. I get this build out of the box and am taken in by whats in front of me. What was going to be a simple paint job turned into much, much more. I always love a challenge and this was sure not going to disappoint me. I'm not going to go into full detail of what all was done, But will recount some of the repairing, changing, adding, detailing and painting that took place while in my possession....................................... This is what I started with, Broken frame and body. Took inventory and started in. After some fitting and fine tuning things, it was time for some primer. At this point the color that was chosen was applied. After spending some time working with the paint and other details it was decided this color was not working on this 33'. So the paint was removed and it was back to point C. Another color was decided on and the car was again prepared for paint. And as you can see, It's not only the body but also the frame and other parts that needed a redo Did some work on the interior bucket adding door sill on top of the bucket so as it will line up with the window opening. another big task was to fill in the aprons so they fit around the frame in a nice smooth manner. At the same time the grill was lade back and aprons extended to meet the grill shell. Also carved out the body to accept a pitman arm. Just a cool touch. Lastly, The grill recieved a photo etched insert and the cowl vent was opened up and a door was built to have it be in the open position. Happy to say everything came out ok. This last pic is of all the parts ready to be assembled. But not by me. I just do all the easy stuff! I am happy to say that the 33' is heading back to atlanta to be reunited with its owner @Kit Karson Edited February 3, 2024 by Speedpro Fix pictures 9 1
NOBLNG Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 I really like that dark metallic blue on it….gives it a slightly sinister look.?
OldNYJim Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 Beautiful paint! I assume that’s a 2K clear on there?

bobss396 Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 Super build! I have always liked the '30 to '34 coupes. I have a few in my stash I should dive into.

Mr. Hobby Surfacer 1000 Gray Primer MCW 202130E Antimatter Blue Met Enamel W/1003E Hardener MCW 1017E 2K Clear W/ 1017EH Hardener If you have not tried this stuff, I highly recommened you do. For me the best part about this system is the hardner. 1 1

I am happy to say that the 33' is heading back to Atlanta to be reunited with its owner @Kit Karson Just think, 8ight years ago the '33 3W Koupe was started... a couple 3hree years ago it made its way down south to @Rocking Rodney Rat, who immediately returned it not wanting to buy into the half-finished project. Back on my bench, work continued... then @Speedpro felt moved to pick it up to bring it closer to the finish line! My great appreciation for the endeavor and tremendous effort that has brought it to this point! Waiting to get it back on my bench, once again and get it under glass will be an end to an amazing journey, in itself. -KK 1
