No clue -- what you see is what I can see.... haven't been to the shop for a long time.

I dunno, I'm diggin' the wide whites Nancy! :unibrow: That's one bad car Harry :cool:

Jay Gatsby would be proud to drive that car. :peepwall:

Isn't it amazing how just a simple wheel and tire change --- can change the entire car?!?!?!



It went from this......

To something my Mother would drive....

Very nice car ! Awesome work !

(Pink color would match very well with the tires :poke: )

Hello......................... Greg,


:hello:

Those phat whites on yer lil '33 do give widewhiteys a bad name.

In the spirit of fairness and balance, here is some rightwhite Radattitude.



:lol:

The hood came out great it flows right with the body lines. Its going to be sweet to see it in color!

How dare you post that nastiness in my thread! What a waste of metal and paint....




HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Greg,

Sorry, too late.

The damage has been done.

:lol:

Jes wonderin'...were you able to sleep ok after posting dem nasty
whidey's?

:drowninga:

I put in a phone call to a certain South San Francisco shop to file a formal complaint....

GW calling SSFS-'This is Greg Weld, I'd like to talk to the pre-paint spare wheel dept. I have a complaint.'

SSFS-'Greg, glad you called. HQ wanted to tell you how little prep work your car needs to get it ready for paint. Man, that will save of uh.. how do you pro-touring posers say it, a lot of :G-Dub:?'

SSFS- 'So, what was your complaint?'

GW- 'Really, I'll save how much?!

Uh, I uh wanted to complain about the traffic in your area when I'm allowed to visit.'


:sarcasm_smiley:


Ok...back to black(walls).

:D

I see what you are writing about
 

on the wheel change, but I think the addition of the hood and sides took a the raw look away from it as well.

I would have to drive it both ways...engine covered and not covered and put those wheels back on.

Greg, this pic is just sic, one badazzzz ride. For me, this pic would almost be the end result... It just looks nasty I'm tellin' ya!!! Hooty hoo

I can't wait to see the car in paint!!!

Brizio is Hot Rod elegance and function........

I used this exact car as an example of what I wanted when we first started this project... I just didn't want the Ferrari motor!!

The rail and body is "proper" on this one isn't it?

I'd like to hear and ride in that with the Ferrari motor.........but wouldn't care for the maintenance/liability issues. That said, it is a very cool car!

Some updates --- although it does appear that Rob took these with his cell phone....


The little whoopteedo at the bottom of the dash is a direct knock off of what Vic Edelbrocks newest '32 has -- it's for the A/C controls....

Typical Swan neck mirrors --- nothing earth shattering here!!

One on each side. This is a DRIVER --- not a show car trailer queen... old folks gotta be able to see to change lanes!

Slash cut tail pipes..... and I think the rolled pan is supposed to have louvers... so mentioned that to Roy when I got these pics today.

I love it!!

That makes me happy!!!


SW -- Did you see that I've gone bonkers and bought a LOTUS 2 Eleven??


Any experience with one??

Lookin' good GW
 

What is the scheduled completion date?

Man that quick change looks awesome under there. It's the last thing I wanna do to my '29 but the 4 bar won't allow it, therefore I'm jealous. lol

So-Cal hit a home run when they came out with those mirrors. they're popular for a reason. Looks sweet Greg!

I'm with you on the mirrors Greg, The ones on my Camaro are tuff for me to see. I'm used to my Tahoe mirrors. The car is going to be sweet.

Coming down this weekend? A lot of very cool roadsters.

No I'm not Jeff --- If I'd have planned better - I would have....


Find Roy and tell him you think my Speed '33 sucks... and that he takes HORRIBLE PHOTOS!!!


That's his '32 -- which has 75,000 miles on it!!!


Next year for sure!!!!

The car is going to paint now.... THESE are the correct wheels minus the rim/lip polishing which still needs to be done.


I've been asked about the front spreader bar --- to chrome it and have it bolt in -- or weld in and be painted. My taste says to weld it in and paint it body color...

agreed, Looks good Greg.

^^^Ditto Dude!

Looks really sweet Greg. You have a special seat so you can see through the windshield?:)

Very nice! Is it going to his brother in-law for paint?

That's fricken smooth man.

Def body color.

Custom Telephone book that Ironworks made for me! And then if that's not enough - I have that pink childs seat that came with the Mustang.

Yes, as far as I know, he paints all the cars. Sid Chavers will handle the upholstery... but I'm going to have him do some pretty kool stuff - not his usual 2" tuck and roll. HA!

Man, that's a slick car! :thumbsup:

Thanks Jody! It'll look better with the headlights etc mounted -- but so far The Briz is just knocking it out. I just wanted a super simple driver -- thus the LS motor -- Automatic trans -- and nothing fancy or custom. It should fill the bill!!

Very nice Greg! You deserve this experience after the other! :thumbsup:

Looks great Greg! :woot:

How are the grille and surround going to be finished?

Way to go Greg! Happy to see it moving forward in style :D

Well -- maybe I "deserved" the other idiot -- since I was dumb enough to pick him without doing any due diligence.... But thank you and yeah --- super happy the way this is all going.





Thanks buddy! So does your pipe welding!

Grille and front axle and hairpins will all be chromed... Thus the idea that the spreader would be better painted body color. The headlights will be body color with chrome bezels. Super simple car -- just some paint and a little chrome.

The wheels will be "magnesium" looking in the centers with polished rims... and the knockoff spinners will be polished. Same as Tom Gloy's baby blue SROTY '32 (since I stole - with permission - the wheel design and builder from him).









Thanks Ron! The Briz knows how to crank 'em out.

Body color without a doubt :thumbsup:

This car is going to knock people's socks off!
