I got the 34' vicky back from the sandblasters the other day. The car came out really clean! Its always nice to start with this nice of sheet metal.
Also scored a bottom back section from my buddy off of a 34' 4 door sedan. The lower bead into the wheel wells is the same as a 33' vicky. So I can use that piece to graft onto the car, and that will save me a lot of fabrication time.

New 1934 Vicky Build!!!
Hi everyone. I've got in another build here at the shop, and this one is going to be a neat one. Its an original 1934 Vicky, a really rare car and to make it even more rare its from England.
This build will be neat beacause were going to be doing a little cosmetic changes to the back of the car. We both agree that the original look of the trunk and the panel below it looks a little goofy. So were going to be removing the trunk and making the back just like a 33' Vicky. Other than that I'm just doing all the metal work to fix any rust and dents. Then we'll be putting it on a brand new TCI frame. Keep checking back for updates on this one.

Mounting the engine in the Phaeton.
I got started today on mocking up the engine and transmission in the Phaeton. There are a lot of things to make sure of before I get it mounted for sure, but its going to be somewhere right around where it is now.

Got the drivers front door patched on the Phaeton.
I finished up working out the dents and patching the drivers front door on the phaeton today. The door had lots of dents like the others, and it had some rust on the bottom. So I got the dents worked out first and then I made a patch for the rust and got that welded in.
Next is to get the body sandblasted and do any patching on it.

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.
