Hey bosco 1,

You've got a sweet looking '33 sedan!

Re. your request for more info on my '34 Coupe, it's an all-steel Henry Ford body with a Chevy 327 / 4-speed that is built to represent the way a hotrod was done in the early 60's. A simple build that the "average joe" could have done in his backyard. No chop or filled top or cowl vent. Paint is Ford Dove Grey with dark red tuck & roll. Red steelies with Firestone bias big-n-littles. I've owned the car since 1999 and hope to keep it the rest of my life! Here's a few pics of it. Thanks for your inquiry.

[QUOTE=The Hot Rod Grille;1596140041]Hey bosco 1,

Sweet HRG, love it....Mine is a 34 with a 33 grill, Gibbons body. It was my wife's stepdad who passed away in Jan. Going to change it up alittle under the hood with some different valve covers and air cleaner. Wish he hadn't have painted the grill. My have it powdered coated to look like stainless. I was thinking of going with a caddy style air cleaner like yours painted to match the interior to break up all the orange along with painted valve covers to match.

He had a steel 32 coupe he sold a few months before he passed, that was the car...

Love your car thank you for sharing...

Default Garage

This is a space I rent (originally built to be a paint booth). I keep the car I am working on in this building and, at the present, have my 65 Goat at home.
Can't see the small refrig. but being here in the South it is stocked with some really good shine. It was aged about a day.

Tried to flip the picture but can't. Sorry

Oh I can see it now. Small living space in the centre of the hanger, and a go cart track snaking around the outside. Maybe a small drag strip as well.

Almost right, 1000 sq ft apartment in the end of the hangar with a 1000 sq ft air conditioned shop below. No go cart track but I do have a 5000 ft drag strip out front.

Not exactly same as a hanger, but it's where I spend my days!

I wish it was 2 foot longer on the left side and I'd be able to put all three in.

Oh if I could I would, width wise it would be squeezing in the back (getting out by going t-top exit, haha), but the GTO is about a foot and a half too long to allow the vette in and the garage door to close. trust me, I was measuring like crazy, haha! BTW I like your style!!!

I know what you mean.... those goats are LONG! My 66 is about 16 feet, the Grand Prix is 17. I`d leave the Mustang outside, but my wife would cry foul.... it`s hers!

Haha! yeah you can't have her upset. That caddy of mine is a hair over 18 ft so it's hopeless, haha!
