VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 My 1933 Standard Sports Coupe as of today

Progress is not in my favor at the moment. Have to get out of bed at 2:30 or 3am & be done by 11am otherwise garage temp reached 110 degrees by noon Lots of little things going wrong but here's where it at today......Joe

Even though garage temp going through the roof you are making good progress.
Tony

Thank you Tony...Joe

Joe, that's awesome progress! I had an apt in Phoenix for a year so know what you are going through with the heat.......Try opening the door from the house and putting a huge fan pointing into the garage......I did that here in NJ and while it did drive my electric bill higher since the AC ran longer in the house I was able to gain a few hours of work temp in the closed garage.......amazing progress.....keep hydrated..... ......with water of course!

Jeff

Thanks Jeff. Your thought would probably work if this garage was attached to the house. I told a friend of mine I'm not doing another car without dividing the garage into a 1/3 2/3 combo & putting a mini split on the small side. Always hydrated in Tucson. A water bottle is a fashion statement here...Joe

Joe,
Looking good. I have confidence that you will get it done.

Take a photo of snow next to the garage and hang it on the wall. Be sure to take it quick after the snowfall as it doesn't last very long in Tucson. Yes, I have seen snow in Tucson. You get it more often than we do here in Texas.

Thanks Chipper. My plans now are to have it there finished or not but I'm trying. Work really gets in the way of my fun time.
I tried painting the walls white but it's not the same...Joe

Looks very nice !

Thanks Mike

Hey Joe, that is really sweet. Thanks for sharing.

Here's where I'm at today 7/31/2016. Hood sides should be back on Tuesday. Trying to locate a pinstriper & then the tail lights can be added. Won't be finished. Needs roof & interior finished...Joe

Looks good! So what will be going to Tahoe then?

It's going. I just picked up the trailer....Joe

This looks like as far as I'm getting until after Tahoe. Painter was at my house till midnight doing touch up & we installed the hood sides. Pinstriper was here today for that part of the job. I installed the tail lights after that. Interesting though, adding an accessory RH tail light to a 1933 Standard sports coupe requires the moving of the bumper step pad. I wonder if there was a note about that then? Pinstripes aren't nearly as wide as the camera makes them to be...Joe

Sure is looking good Joe. Will be waiting to see it in Tahoe.

Looking good Joe.
It has been a marathon effort for you but from here below the equator it has been worth it.
Tony

Thanks Chip. Sheri & I are looking forward to seeing you & Cathy. Looks like the weather will be great. I might need to dig out a sweat shirt...Joe

Thank you Tony. It's been fun but I need some rest...Joe

Looks great Joe!Have a fun and safe trip!

See you in Tahoe!
