Very cool project Greg. The Speed 33s are very nice, couldn't stop looking at one in Columbus at GG's...I don't know maybe it was the chick that got out of it


How close did you get to the upholstery??



I always THOUGHT they were "hi zoot".... because a large percentage of them are hi tech - shaved - slammed - modern wheels... and I never liked them. It wasn't until Roy said - - NO NO -- let's build one traditional. And I started researching and found out that indeed you could build a very nice traditional rod using this body.

I had offered to buy a '34 body from SAR (Reel Steel) but after looking at the poor fit and finish of those bodies -- and the work the shizzler did on my '32 I was completely turned off by anything he had his hands in. So the Speed '33 fit right in.
