Been working on the doors on the phaeton.

I've been working out the dents and rust on the doors. The passenger rear door had some dents and bullet holes. So I had to work out the dents and make a patch for the bullet holes.

Then the passenger front door had some major dents and some rust out on the bottom. So I first worked out the dents, then I'm in the process of making and welding in a patch for the bottom.















Made a pushbar on the 32'

I made up a pushbar / license plate holder on the sedan.






The 32' sedan finally out at Bonneville!

Well I finally made it out with my sedan to Bonneville. I had an absolute blast out there and the car was really well received.

Thrashing on the 32' sedan for Bonneville!!!

I'm trying to get my 32' sedan driviable for Bonneville this year. So I've been working hard on it.

I first worked on the engine. Got new gaskets for everything, studs for the motor, and got the hoses for the radiator done.

Then I've been working on building the gas tank. It's out of stainless steel, and fits behind the rear seat.

I also got a drive line made out of aluminum.

Last few things are finish fuel lines, electrical, get glass cut for the windshield, and finish brakes.

Got the Phaeton body on the frame.

I got the body setting on the frame the other day. Also got the rear fenders bolted on. Its all sitting a little high, but I still haven't mounted the engine and transmission. So i'm hoping that drops the frame down a little bit.

We also got some of the rims the other day. We are going to have two sets of wheels for the car. One set will be steel wheels 16x7 rear and 15x6 fronts. And the same size's in wire wheels. I painted the inside of the steel wheels with por15. Just so its protected when we mount the tires.

The 1933 Phaeton chassis is a roller!

I've been working on getting the chassis up and rolling. I got the front drop axle in, and the new spindles mounted. Also got the rear spring mounted, and the open drive kit installed. I also got the brake master cylinder mounted and ran the first set of lines to the residual valves.
