Sold my 32' tudor sedan. :(

I had a fellow in lousiana make me an offer on the sedan that I couldn't refuse. So it went down the road, and he will continue to put his style on the car. I was able to sell the car without the engine and transmisison. I'll be using them on the next project.










Did a Bonneville display at the local autorama with the 32' sedan.

I made up a neat display with the sedan to make it look like it was out on the salt at Bonneville. I used a piece of carpet painted white with a black line. Then I used ivory soap whipped with water so it was like whip cream and textured the car to look like salt.







Finish welding the seams on the drivers rear of the Vicky.

I'm stitch welding all the seams around the drivers rear on the vicky. Its a slow process, but its coming together nicely.





Been working on the exhaust and brake lines on the 33' Phaeton.

I got most of the exhaust routed on the phaeton. Were running porter mufflers, and i've made side exhaust that open's in front of the muffler so its more of a straight pipe. Also I've run most of the brake lines on the car all out of stainless.

Started welding up the drivers side rear on the Vicky.

Tack welding the drivers side rear seams. Just have to make sure that all the seams line up just right before I start welding it up solid. I'ts coming along really nice.

Finished the passenger side rear seams on the Vicky.

I got all the seams welded up and finished on the passenger side. Nice to see it all come together, really looks a ton better.

More welding on the Vicky.

Its quite the process welding up all the seams. I weld little at a time, hammering each weld seam as I go, that way I can prevent warping as much as possible.

Welding up the seams on the rear panels on the Vicky.

I'm welding up all the seams now that all the panels are made. Its a time consuming process, cause first I have to make sure to line up all the seams perfectly with little tack welds. Then I continue to do that until I have tack welds every half inch or so. Then once that is done I can fill in the gaps with half inch welds at a time.

Got the rear panel tacked on to the car on the Vicky.

I worked on  getting the rear panel trimmed and tacked onto the car. Now I will do all the final welding on both the rear panel and the section through the windows.

Finished welding all the seams off the car on the back panel for the Vicky.

I finished welding all the seams on the new rear panel. I wanted to get all the seams welded up while I was able to remove it off the car. That way I could work out the seams and get them nice and smooth where I had good access.

Now I have to start trimming it to fit on the body and start mating it so its one piece with the body.

Both corners are made on the Vicky.

I finished the drivers rear corner. And now I'm working on welding all the seams on that back piece. That way once they are all done and finished out I don't have to worry about trying to get access to them on the car.

Got the rear corner tacked in place on the Vicky.

I got the new corner piece shaped to where I got it fitting and tacked it into place.
