Looking good

Thanks Jay!

Greg looks like your going to be having some real perma :D in the near future! Nice mixed of old school and new :thumbsup:

It's already started!!! Can't wipe this smile off my chubby little face!

That thing is just badazzzzzz. Wish there was a shop w/that talent right next store to me so I could just sit, watch and learn, Hell, I'd work there for free for the knowledge. Nice vehicle choice Greg, that thing is gorgeous.

ME TOO!!!! I'm going for old skool with attitude... we'll see if I can pull it off.

Greg no old school small block!!??

I don't intend to ever open the hood except to check the oil.... So that would mean -- NO old skool motors... no old skool carbs... and as The Skippahs photo shows -- NO LEAKS either.

Spoiled is an understatement.... HER place is now on the sofa between Gwen and I... you don't dare sit anywhere else! This way she can attack to the left of right at will. Although I did sneak in a nap yesterday later afternoon once she fell asleep with her head in my lap. I figured I couldn't move for an hour for fear of waking her up - so might as well make the best of it! :lol:

You will have to bring her down to play with our new dog. Wanda is an English Mastiff. She is 9 weeks and nearly 20 lbs and gaining 3 lbs a week. She eats 4 cups of food a day. Maybe you could take Wanda to SEMA as a mini pony.

That's a cushioned vinyl floor stabilized internally with fiberglass so it can be loose laid without edge curling. That particular one is Tarkett, but Mannington, Armstrong, Congoleum, IVC, and Shaw also have similar products. I picked up remnants and use them in frequent use areas. Good insulation, quiet, reasonable grease and oil resistance. Doesn't handle splatter from the wire welder very good though. :D

The "discussion" was "on display" 2014 Grand National Roadster Show.... and ready to drive long distance (after they shake it down etc) to the L.A. Roadsters Fathers Day Show - Fathers Day weekend. A group departs his shop and they drive to LA for the show and back. That's my kinda weekend!

My plan is to take Gwen --- and then we'll drive up highway 1 and do Monterey/Carmel... San Francisco etc.

Stopped at the Briz's on my way home from Phoenix..... He's got the stance nailed IMHO. These are not my wheels -- they're not even INTRO'S -- but they are similar sizes.

They're super busy trying to get a 32' done for Vic Edelbrock... so there isn't much going on for my car. We just worked on a few details such as the hood side louvers... what headlights... and how I want the frame rails done. I want the lower frame rail shaped to exactly mimic the lower body line... and I've cooked up a special little treatment to the frame horns.. which isn't going to be shown here this time.

Mario -- This will have hood sides.... it will have three rows of louvers -- starting longer at the top and the next row will be shorter -- and the bottom row will be shorter still... 4" louvers.

Good Hot Rod stance, I like it

Thanks Tracy!

Greg maybe it's just me, I could be losing it but I actually really like those wheels:underchair: The car is phenomenal!

These are just some rollers that Roy uses.... and I agree --- they're "okay" for the look. But the billet Tom Gloy wheels will be "mo betta" -- we're cuttin' 'em 5" wide up front... And the rears will have some lip on them.

Its sitting pretty ! I agree on the stance.

Well shoot. I wasn't going to say anything because it looks real good and Brizio definatly knows how to put these together but...If he's going to modify the frame what do you think about pushing the front wheel forward an inch or two, maybe three?
Center of the wheel looks real good just behind the top portion of the grill. It also shows a lil more leg, err I mean front rail.

Just a thought. You can't go wrong with a shop like Brizio, he doesn't do ugly.

Having said all that... I have no idea what it's current state is. I would have seen him this weekend but I canceled the L A Roadster Show trip due to Rudy having knee surgery yesterday. :buttkick:

I, of course, would have stopped in the shop on the way south... but now that's out. I'll send him an email and see if he can get me an update.

I do know that it was an all hands on deck in order to get a car up and done for Vic Edelbrock. Car was going to be done for July -- then they backed it up to June - then MAY... so I know that took 'em by surprise and mine (and others I'm sure) slowed a bit while that one got worked on. He has such a well oiled hot rod building machine down there... that I'm sure he's back on track. Since I'm copying Vic's dash layout -- I guess I have to keep my yap shut and not complain! LOL

Looking good Grego. Have you decided on a color yet?

Yes --- We picked that out at the Grand National Roadster Show --- Phil Remington's (may he RIP) '27 Track nosed car (cover of Rodders Journal - Number Fifty Seven) -- Someone I know knows the painter and secured the exact paint code. Picked the reddish leather interior on my last trip to the shop.

We'll do a spray out panel just for fun - but that's the exact color combo I wanted and it just happened to be on display at the show where Roy and I both were. Sometimes ya just get lucky. Better lucky than smart!!

My only concern with the covers is coil over heating. Time will tell if it's a hot rod part. At the least, it will reduce the life of the coils. I'd carry a spare coil and plug on that first road trip. :D But hey, I tend to overthink things.

The Briz was in Victoria BC for Deuce Days.... Says the roadster will be on display at Grand National Roadster Show... that it's having the hood built now and will be in body and paint first of August....

Gotta love the way these guys get on a project and see it thru to completion.

Deuce Days was amazing... 986 registered cars -- cut off date was for 1951's.
There were so many people in the street that you couldn't even tell there were cars parked there. I was on the lawn of The Empress (because that's where real roadsters got to park). Amazing group of people up for this show. Ed Pink... Paul Atkins... Briz... Vic Edelbrock... Sid Shavers... It was a who's who of hot rods. The show only happens once every three years.

Personally -- there's nothing worse than wide whites.... HAHAHAHA OMG I can't stand them! I almost didn't post up the pics because the car went from "traditional with attitude" to "traditional with absolutely nothing going for it"!!

I'm still blown away by how nice the body was as shipped from the factory.

My buddy Pierre was going to build one of these -- and in fact I'd called Phil at The Roadster Shop to inquire about setting the body on a chassis for him.... then he found and bought the '57 from Ironworks.... and then he saw my body as delivered and started having second thoughts! It won't take much work to get some paint on it.

The hood and sides are all custom of course -- because the position of the grill is different -- it's pinched -- and sectioned.

Thanks buddy! So does your pipe welding!

Grille and front axle and hairpins will all be chromed... Thus the idea that the spreader would be better painted body color. The headlights will be body color with chrome bezels. Super simple car -- just some paint and a little chrome.

The wheels will be "magnesium" looking in the centers with polished rims... and the knockoff spinners will be polished. Same as Tom Gloy's baby blue SROTY '32 (since I stole - with permission - the wheel design and builder from him).

Interior color? And do you match the top or just go black?

The rear panel gets louvers

The interior is "red" but more subdued red not lipstick red

No rear or front bumpers - they're really overrated...

I love the stance, especially the way the rear wheel and tire fill up the space right to the body line over the wheel. Its going to be an awesome color combination, the Red gut will really pop against the blue. I'm glad it going so smooth for this build. Thumbs up bud!
Oh and good luck with that socks coming off thing too.

Thanks Wayne!! My goal was "traditional hot rod WITH attitude"... I think the paint and finish will help add some attitude. Black is an attitude color - but I've wanted a "navy blue" hot rod forever - so blue it is! The red is just another combo color I stole fair and square. LOL

Thanks Rob! Do you really just like it because it's a Ford? :>)

The only time the hood will ever open is when I need to check the oil.

Well when you start with a better base it does make it easier. :D I'm not a fan of the deuces but I love the 33s. I really dig the Magnesium look wheels and the muted blue and rusty red. As was mentioned before the rear tire height is dead on. The windscreen and grille profile, sick. When this comes back from paint I need to make a trip to the shop.

Well --- Right on schedule and just like Roy said it would be -- the old POS is at the paint shop.

Turns out nobody has the paint code for the Phil Remmington car I'm copying --- but the owner of the car is taking a piece off the car and sending it to us so we can color match it. That's a real hot rodder for ya!! I'd do the same for someone if they asked me... it's just what we do!

I told Roy I didn't even need to approve a paint sample -- I figured if it was good enough for him - it's good enough for me. But of course they sent one anyway!

SAR only suggested "mods" that cost a ton of money and don't really add value. While they're nice - unless you really walk around the car and think about them - they don't "add". They double the cost of the project... in time and money.

Roy just puts his head down and rocks it... there's nothing special about the build whatsoever (my choice!) -- but I'll guarantee that if the '33 and the '32 are parked side by side... people would be all over the '33 and never notice the '32.

Really hard to shoot this color and such a small panel -- if there's light on it, it just washes out... and I was just using my iPhone. Since the upholstery will be red - I thought that would give it a good vibe.... LOL

Ah, Gotcha. It is always difficult to photograph paint colors. That blue 356 I linked to can look Navy blue without lots of bright and harsh indoor lighting, on an overcast day.

Anyway, A red interior should look good. I have a soft spot for red interiors, but never pick a paint color that pairs well.

Yes Rob, the owner of the '27 went to the effort to pull a panel and sent it to Roy for color matching. Roy knew who painted the car and thought he could get the code but apparently they didn't have it. It was above the call of duty for the owner to put himself out there for us. Kudos to him!

I promised Roy I would never open the hood in public.

I always liked the Ford Washington Blue like on a '36 -- but it's just not dark enough -- and I always wanted to paint the hull on my boat "Flag Blue" and just never did.... but when I saw the Phil Remington '27 - BINGO - that was it.

That was a funny movie, especially that scene.

'GWFTW'...perfect for twitter, not so good for facebook.

So I hate to steal someone else's picture -- but this shot of a Speed '33 from THE ROADSTER SHOP <bowing down> shows what I hope is the stance on my car…. IMHO they nailed it.
