It's getting a set of custom one offs (which will technically be "second offs").... pin drive... I have to make sure it's okay for me to discuss before I spill the beans.

Pinching the nose and dropping it... No fenders...


A nice simple road worthy Brizio DRIVER...

[Jr]

Where are all the pictures? You have more than 4 pics of this project.

Greg,Very Cool.Brizio 1st.Class.Roadster builder.Please keep posting.I hope it will not get fenders.

A nice simple road worthy Brizio DRIVER...so Greg, they are still "one offs" ......of the "one offs"!!! LOL

That diff is wicked SICK!!!

[Sieg]

Does Brizio take trade's? :D

Suppose it will be RED?

[dontlifttoshift]

No fenders.....

That's right, FTF!!:thumbsup:

I see you are putting man suspension on the front as well.....a 5" axle to boot.

[GregWeld]

Greg,Very Cool.Brizio 1st.Class.Roadster builder.Please keep posting.I hope it will not get fenders.

NO FENDERS!


:thumbsup:

[INTMD8]

Looks great! Any idea on what it will weigh when completed? I bet it will fly with that drivetrain if it's as light as I think it will be.

[GregWeld]

so Greg, they are still "one offs" ......of the "one offs"!!! LOL

I'm going to just call them "Tribute" wheels.... How's that??

Yeah -- I have 6 -- a couple different angles of the body sitting on the floor....


WhooHoo!! LOL

NO! But it might have red leather.... :woot:

Good question.... I'm really not sure. 2500 - 2600 pounds maybe??


Yeah -- there is plenty of torque and horsey power....

[camcojb]

I've always loved those cars. Not sure I could fit in one, but I did a Cobra that fit me pretty well after doing several seat mods. I suppose the same could be done with a 33.

[96z28ss]

So are you going to pitch the red 32 to the curb? They are almost the same car.
Or is the plan to use the 32 like Charlie uses the Segway to get around the track during track days?

[DBasher]

Wooohooo! These bodies are stretched a bit aren't they? Looks like it also has the hide away top section....very cool.

I don't see an IRS:_paranoid

What's the time frame? I know Brizio can crank these out fairly quick...GNRS?:rofl:

:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

[NOPANTS68]

What induction is going on the lsx? Hilborn? 2 fours?

[dontlifttoshift]

If that big azz lunk friend of yours over there in Woodland can drive a '32 -- so could you... you might just have to do it on un-upholstered bomber seats... and maybe a 10" steering wheel.... :rofl:

No way!!! It's the perfect Sun Valley hot rod!

They're "similar" --- one is a real roadster..... the '33 has a convertible top --- real windows -- A/C -- and has dreams of long distance DRIVING. The '32 goes to the grocery store.

[GregWeld]

What induction is going on the lsx? Hilborn? 2 fours?

Leaving the factory plastic nasty looking junk on there -- I'm never opening the hood except to check the oil. This is being built to be a driver... I don't give two hoots what she looks like underneath or under hood. Dead serious. :D

You're spot on! Just one year early --- it will debut at GNRS 2014.... and will be DRIVEN to LA Roadsters show June of 2014. Roy will take it to GNRS and back to his shop -- do all the shakedown etc - make any changes if any -- and I'll actually take delivery for the Brizio run to LARS. Since it's WINTER up here -- no point in having it here. So that's our plan.

We'll see if I can break this one as easy as I've been able to break the last one!!!:faint:




Does Brizio take trade's? :D

Suppose it will be RED?




I tried to give him the Nomad straight up -- and an old Vega... and some Intros. He drives a hard bargain. So we just traded some cash.






That's right, FTF!!:thumbsup:

I see you are putting man suspension on the front as well.....a 5" axle to boot.

beautiful Greg- love those body styles- YES on the red leather. Silver or black exterior? That makes 5 in your sig....you are officially a "collector"


Thread hijack.....I bought a Miller 180 at SEMA getting pretty good at it....at least enough to ask the right questions. Could I throw it in the suburban and bring it to the shed and get some coaching????

If it's at the shop I can just come down there.... but it would have to be Monday.

If I was to ever build a hot rod for me, it would be the speed 33. Like it already.

[waynieZ]

SWEET ! Good for you, and stop sending all that crappy weather you've been having to the north east!

[GregWeld]

Let the bitching and moaning begin....:D




Oh no.... this is a completely new day buddy! Have you ever met Mister B? This is the nicest man on the planet... he has a real shop with real hot rod builders... and the customers actually drive the crap out of their stuff... and I'd bet 90% of the clients in his shop are on their 2nd or 3rd Brizio build. Can't say that about the shameless shizzlebag that built the little red one.... The Briz was my first choice for the '32 -- I just got snookered into thinking he (the shameless shizzlebag) was a master builder -- but we found out he was just a little master baiter who's crew couldn't even make tail lights function. OMG -- the memories are all flooding back now. :lol: I mean -- what hot rodder runs a motor without oil? What hot rodder fixes the tail lights by painting the interior housing WHITE instead of just making sure the bulbs make contact? Who installs a rear end and has the coil overs hitting the chassis? Who puts a front end on and a rear end on and doesn't align it? I know who! But the Briz fixedededed all that.

[dontlifttoshift]

So can you "splain" to me WTF a 5" is??

5".....dropped axle. The common drop on an I beam or tube axle is 4". A few years back Magnum came up with their 5" dropped axle to get an extra inch of cool. When you see enough axles the 5" really stands out but the dead give away is the lower shock mount/bung welded on.

If the pin drive knock offs are like Tom Gloys and you put skinny tires on it.......:thumbsup:

[Sieg]

to get an extra inch of cool.I'm guessing Gwen would approve.

Yeah -- I'm thinking 40 Ford fenders? What do you think? If I do the body black gloss and the fenders in flat gold leaf... it might make the car look.... Smaller? I dunno.

Congrats on the build> Is that an alum body (looks like it in the pic)? I just realized you don't own a PT car, or does the Mustang have cup holders??:unibrow:




All steel -- American Speed '33. I love the way the drop top disappears.

Charley made me a deal - when I can run an entire weekend without spinning he'll have the Briz make me a custom console for the Mutt.




LOL, that was good.

Looks good Greg. What chassis is going under it?



The chassis is all custom Brizio. He has the side rails done the way he wants them for the stance of the car etc... then they jig 'em up and finish 'em.



Lets build some one off wheels for you Sir



I appreciate it Jay -- not sure who cuts the wheels but that choice has already been made.

Ah ha! When you said 5" axle -- I was thinking at the back of the car and couldn't for the life of me figure what that was! Yes 5" drop.

The car is Traditional WITH attitude. We'll see if we can pull it off.


You hit the pin drive right on the head. Just not doing the inside brake covers. Skinny bigs and littles... and a Tribute to an absolutely perfect wheel.

If you take Rodders Journal -- the front cover this issue has the paint nailed. 1940 Ford Washington blue - or PPG Barcelona Blue. We'll paint out a test and see.

Good thing I don't take advice well.... The last Silver car I owned was in 1972... they just don't SHINE... I don't want any metallic either... and I've had a woody for a buddies car that is the PPG Barcelona Blue with Red leather... and I'm not ashamed to flat out copy him! What are friends for anyway, right?

Dude! I stepped up to the 480 hp version... did I really need to do the 525 just for a bit more choppy lope? I'm OLD --- I'm gray -- I'm weak -- I can barely handle 300 hp and a 3:08 rear end...

Thanks Ken! I love the LS motors -- except they're like the ugly chick at school... They might have other attributes but I still don't want to look at her.
I want leak free perfection and the LS has that in spades... plus it's a bit lighter -- and they just run. Leave the hood closed and nobody will know the ugly chick is in there.

How about you buy my son and I some lunch and pay for my tank of gas to get to the GNRS on Friday and we can discuss how many friends you can bring to my hole in the wall on Saturday.

I might come up to the shop on Saturday after doing GNRS on Friday... will you be around? Do you have anything worth showing me? Will you also buy me lunch and a tank of gas? Can I bring friends? Will you also arrange for T. Nelson to dyno some 5000hp all aluminum small block quad turbo motor while we're there? :wow:

Artificial...Smartaficial...... What ever Greg!

How about you buy my son and I some lunch and pay for my tank of gas to get to the GNRS on Friday and we can discuss how many friends you can bring to my hole in the wall on Saturday.

I first saw Tom Gloys car this summer at Brizios and then again at the LA Roadsters show.... and two things got me - the wheels and the Sid Chavers in terror. It's not Sids usual "hot rod" tuck and roll.... and the wheels are BIG but they're NARROW... The billet part is just how they had to make them. The one thing I still struggle with on the '32 is the wheels... most of these guys only make a big WIDE wheels and that really is a problem on these little cars.

Geez Jeff -- I was so busy posting using my newly discovered talent of multi quotes that I missed a response to you! Shame on me! Won't happen again...:lol:


I had looked at Toms car at Brizio's during construction and kinda just shrugged my shoulders in a "okay - another nice little '32" - ho hum kinda way.... then when it was outside parked next to other '32's that had driven down with Brizio to the LA Roadsters show -- THAT is when I saw how low it was -- how clean it was - the super nice 8 stacks - and the very different Chavers interior. Then I fell in love with it! :hail: If you just glance - you miss all the details!

Bret drives that car really well -- and of course it's a "track car".... I just want to be able to get to the grocery store and back. :rolleyes:


Truth be told - if the '32 had a drop top and windows -- I wouldn't be building this one.... but I like driving the little '32 so much - I want something I can actually go somewhere in.

Thanks buddy! You know Sid is his boy or it'd be coming to you. I just have to get him to do something other than 2" tuck and roll.... and if you look at the Tom Gloy car -- I know he can do something for me that I'll be happy with.

By the way -- have you used MB Tex? They did a 56 in MB Tex and it seemed really nice to me and is cleanable etc... just talking out loud here.

You bring up a point that a lot of people can't figure out.... and there's a very simple answer to it.


I've spent the last 30 some years restoring or building cars...and the last 40 messing with them in some form or another. My kids are grown and gone - my wife has now retired for the second time. So while I was free to spend all day in the shed - I now have a travel schedule to keep (my wife loves to go!)... and I've turned my attention to using my shed and skills to help my less fortunate friends do some smaller projects that they can't do on their own. At this stage in my life - I want to be able to travel and do some of the stuff that retired people at my age get to do. If you factored that time into the time it takes to build a quality "anything" - that would be triple the time allotted. In other words - it would never be finished. And even if it was finished - it wouldn't be to the level of a Brizio etc. So what was once a fun hobby of "doing" has now been modified to doing LESS and enjoying a different version. I have a bucket list of shows I've always wanted to go to... and with the new rig I can do ALL of them. So this is stage 4 in life stages. I figure I have a good 10+ years to get 'er all in before stage 5 settles in.

Oh -- and I just swapped the Nomad to my buddies garage so I could bring his '56 BelAir in the shed for a few tweaks and mods... and a motor swap (a new 496). So how could I have time for MY cars when I'm working on someone else's! Isn't that what a guy is supposed to do - pay someone to work on his car so he has some free time to work on someone else's?



This is what is getting a new 496.

It took my buddy Pierre AKA Frenchy -- 10 years to build this car... and at the time he bought a "mild" 460 (bored 454)... well... let's just say this motor ain't what it's supposed to be. Super low compression - non performance iron heads - oil burner... and all around just not fitting of the surroundings in which it sits. So a new 496 cubic inch Brodix aluminum headed torque monster was built to take it's place.

We're showing our age. A '55 was what we drove in high school. You could buy a real nice one for $500 to $750!! We only dreamed of even SEEING a '69 Camaro! Actually -- in high school -- the HOT car was a '69 Road Runner! But tri-fives are special.

Greg,

Not sure if this has already been discussed or not, but have you ridden in a Speed '33?

If so, what are your thoughts compared to some of the other roadster bodies out there?

[GregWeld]

Greg,

Not sure if this has already been discussed or not, but have you ridden in a Speed '33?

If so, what are your thoughts compared to some of the other roadster bodies out there?



I have not ridden in a '33 - Speed 33 or otherwise.... My buddy has a '32 with live axle (Ford 9") and a straight axle up front. It's NOTICEABLY rougher riding than my all IRS/IFS '32 which rides like your grandmothers Cadillac in comparison. BUT -- you just can't get the looks I want using the independent stuff. And it's more complicated. I figure there's about 10 gazillion guys 10 years my senior that are going long distances in these old jalopies --- and if they can hack it - then so can I. Just saving the beating I take in the roadster body will be a miracle. That wind in your face at 65mph just gets real old after a short distance.

The key to the ride will be Brizio's expertise knowing the spring rates etc that these cars need. The rear is going to be coil overs...


RE: Body

These folks have this down pat. The body is crazy nice.... and while you can save a TON of dough (28K vs 10K) going with glass - you can't get that folding tonneau top boot. And the original bodies don't have that either. I can't stand the top all piled up on the back like the stock ones do. That, and the fact that it's all steel, are 300% selling points to me. Drop the top on the Speed 33, put the windows down - and you have a clean looking roadster.

Talk to Phil at The RS -- they've built these - and are dealers for this body. My buddy Pierre was going to build one -- and he talked to Phil -- and was very helpful. He should be able to answer any other questions you have with details because I don't know anything about the details.

Ok! Before we strike a deal, and I deliver the car the the "shed," I want to make sure we are going forward with a quote on price. So, before it ever arrives, we need to agree on how much it is going to cost. I don't want to pay based on hours, because how do I know you won't charge me for your time while you're on this website. Sound good? How about we just say 60k to finish it. I pay you 90 percent now, and come back and give you the rest when I pick the car up in two months. It should be done in two months right???

Well -- I'd be getting rich at that rate!!! I built an entire '55 Chevy - LS2 - 6 speed - AME chassis - slick firewall and inner fenders - raised the floors - new trans tunnel - complete new wiring - all new rubber.... and I charged Rick 1/2 the cost of the chassis for my '37 Ford (6K).

I figure I put about 35K in parts in Rudy's Camaro - and it's at the upholstery shop now... so that will be 60K in no time at all... He bought breakfast a couple of times.

Now - the fact that those cars are complete crap.... well... you know the old saying about getting what you pay for. I'm ready when you are.

(fingers crossed behind my back) -- 60K ALL IN ALL DONE - 2 MONTHS - NO PROBLEM!! EASY!!

How close did you get to the upholstery?? :lol:



I always THOUGHT they were "hi zoot".... because a large percentage of them are hi tech - shaved - slammed - modern wheels... and I never liked them. It wasn't until Roy said - - NO NO -- let's build one traditional. And I started researching and found out that indeed you could build a very nice traditional rod using this body.

I had offered to buy a '34 body from SAR (Reel Steel) but after looking at the poor fit and finish of those bodies -- and the work the shizzler did on my '32 I was completely turned off by anything he had his hands in. So the Speed '33 fit right in.

[GregWeld]

Why do we play with hot rods when we could be playing with these????

You cant go wrong with a 33/34 vert. When those came out in a 32 body they hit a home run, top down convertible..top up and windows up just like having a coupe, Best of both worlds. Let Brizios suggest some of the styling thats why you went there. Troy at Rad Rides put them on a short list as one of the few builders he would have build a car for him, That says something. On a side note...Kelsey Hayes wires with dirt track tires 16s an 18s :lol: :lol: :lol:

On a summer night blasting down the freeway, there's just nothing like looking out and seeing that little front wheel hanging off a straight axle. Way too much fun.

Hey Greg I have a couple questions in regard to dealing with Brizio's.

Was there a waiting period before he could get you car in the shop? With such amazing high quality work and that reputation I would think he would have a waiting list.

Any talk of a time period for the build? What are the expectations?

If you want an awesome looking and styled hot rod, as well as a great driver then there isn't much better a choice than Roy. Plain and simple I am jealous! Nice choice in a car and style.

His shop is very methodical -- it's a real business and is run like one. He's there to crank out killer cars AND make money doing it. It's like a swiss watch. The shop is chalk a block full of cars -- most repeat customers just building "another Brizio" -- I'm the "newb". But he treats you with the utmost respect - listens to you - guides when needed - and it's just an absolute pleasure to do business with. You know you're paying top dollar and you don't care - 'cause you know you'll get top quality.

We discussed a Roush with 8 stacks... and his personal favorite - a good old SBC with a Crabbyouhater...

I already own SBCs with 8 stacks... I'm never doing a crabbyouhater on ANYTHING in my shed... and other than the sentimental "ford in a ford" there was no reason I could think of in a driver / touring car - to add expense etc to go that route. I don't plan on opening the hood. I don't plan to win any trophies... I plan to have lots of bug badges. I know the LS motor kinda... it doesn't leak - they're cheap - they're reliable - they're lightweight... they're powerful - everybody makes "stuff" for them. It is the ugliest motor in the UNIVERSE... :cheers:

[GregWeld]

The MAJOR issue with the Coyotes is the width.... when you actually are trying to build one of these little cars (32-33-34 Fords) you'd see just how pinched they are in the nose... and we're pinching this one a bit more - and lowing the grill as well to get a bit more "rake"... They just simply don't fit. They're, IIRC, about 9" wider head to head than an LS motor.

The LS3 480hp was billed from the Briz at $6500... and the headers are most likely off the shelf... You just can't hardly find a good reason to do something "else" unless you're just going out of your way to be different. Then that's a different kind of build than what I'm doing.

We stopped by the Briz's shop on the way back from GNRS to tune up on a few details... The color has been picked and the interior leather was also. We discussed the front suspension - it will all be chromed. Roy says that if I painted the I-beam axle... that I should only do that if it's going to be a show car only. It's getting the Buick finned drums over the Wilwood discs up front for that traditional look.

I have to tell ya --- the body is absolutely amazing quality! The floors are .125 steel plate! The doors - even just sitting on it's wood crate - shut with just a super solid "click". The trunk uses a new OEM (Ford we think) hinge that opens in an articulated manor so the trunk lid is almost vertical when opened... making this real easy to load and unload without smashing your forehead into the leading edge.

The frame boys told me it would be a body on roller next week! These guys are so efficient it's amazing.

The trunk uses a new OEM (Ford we think) hinge that opens in an articulated manor so the trunk lid is almost vertical when opened... making this real easy to load and unload without smashing your forehead into the leading edge.

You're really worried about that? :lol: :poke:

The frame boys told me it would be a body on roller next week! These guys are so efficient it's amazing.

Love this frame rail!

That is slick. Two hours for a brake line! What stand offs are those?

Great project Greg. More pics please :cheers:

Two hours for ALL the brake lines -- front and back! I was blown away -- but the way this shop is set up -- one guy just does brake and fuel lines. When you do that day in and day out over and over again.... you get pretty efficient!

You can't see it in the pic -- but there are lines on the chassis all marked out - then he just pulls measurements from those lines and lays out the tubing - bingo bango - done.

I have some of those brake line holders but can't remember where I got them. I tend to use Kugel Komponents for a source... but didn't take the time to look before posting this.

[DaleTx]

The quality of their work looks great... nothing like a nice solid feel when you close the door.

Very nice Greg :thumbsup:

Greg,

Your 1st post in this thread today should have just been a warning of the subject matter that was to follow.

It's like trying to eat a huge steak after a month(s) of bread and water. :D

Wow and wow. :thumbsup:

[FETorino]

Now that is a shop visit I wish I had been at.:thumbsup:

Funny about the chrome. Until he said that at GNRS I always thought the opposite. You learn something new every time you listen.

If you confirm which Line holders those are post it up. I know a guy who will be spending more than a couple hours doing some brake lines soon.:lmao:

[NOPANTS68]

Looks really sharp. Gotta love duece rails.

Those line holders are offered by billet specialties and Kugel Components. I used the BS ones on my FF car. Drill your hole, tap it, and thread those dudes in.

[srh3trinity]

I am glad you posted this build here. I like all kinds of builds and this one is going to be very cool and I don't even have to stray from a pro touring website to get my hot rod fix. I like the look of that front axle and the finned drums will be cool.

[pw2006]

Such a cool build Greg! Subscribed...:popcorn2:

Looking very good Greg! :thumbsup:

This shop builds award winning cars that are meant to be driven... which is exactly how I like my cars. My big F up was not taking the '32 to be done over there.

I feel the same way -- I'm always willing to learn and to listen. 40 years of doing this stuff and I'm still feeling my way! :D

EXACTLY! The BS versions space the line off the chassis -- the ones that are used on the '33 hold the line tight to it.


NOT "deuce" rails.... this is a '33 --- and the rails are custom ordered by Roy to his spec -- and this one is also stretched 2" in the wheelbase.

OK, it may not seem like much of a report to you, but, we are getting an inside look/info throughout a Brizio build process that many gearheads won't ever get.

It's steak baby!

Yeah I get it! Nice back yard! Sadly Roy takes lousy pictures -- but they are doing a build thread of the car on his website. They told me that once the body goes on the rails and they flip it from the chassis side of the shop over to the body fab area - they'll have enough of a "story" to post it.

Relax -- stuff like that gets a lot more common when you get my age. Sometimes I even forget to introduce what's her name when I meet friends. :rolleyes: :lol:

[GregWeld]

I just sent Roy an email to ask about his source for the 1 pc billet brake line clamps -- will post it as soon as I have an answer. I've bought them before - but I'm not in the shed so can't go scrounging for a package... and damned if I can remember. The Billet Specialties versions are 2 pc -- and I like the 1 pc versions like on my frame.

[GregWeld]

What stand offs are those?

Great project Greg. More pics please :cheers:



Roy says he has them done for the shop. That also must be where I bought them because I have some at home. I've been buying stuff from them for a long time - so they must have come from their retail store. He said they do carry them "up front".

Their website isn't set up for retail shopping so you'd have to call and ask Dave about them. They're just 3/16" "line clamps".

[waynieZ]

Very nice Greg. They do some awesome work. Glad its going so smooth.

[intocarss]

[lhkustoms]

Can't wait to see this bad boy all finished up. I spent over 2 hours last night reading this thread from the beginning and gotta say Greg that I love your build threads.... 99% smack talkin and 1% about the actual build lol
She's gonna be a beauty when all finished up. The Briz builds damn nice cars. :thumbsup:

[GregWeld]

On my recent trip to the Grand National Roadster Show -- I met with The Briz and asked that he copy the colors of Phil Remington's Dry Lakes Roadster... (which was a Dan Webb recreation/tribute build) This car was on the cover of The Rodders Journal - and was also convenient that the roadster was there on display....


Sadly -- I've just read that Mr. Remington has passed away. He worked on Shelby's Cobra and GT 40 programs... as well as worked at Dan Gurney's All American Racers.

The car - in person - is much darker blue than these photos.... It is said to be 1940 Ford Washington Blue... but like all such things - you could line up 50 cars done with that name of blue and they'd all be different. The Briz knows the builder and said he'd call and get the paint code if they'd share.

Mr Remington's passing will just make the "copying" all the more special for me. I'll think of him when looking at the car.... So I guess your soul does live on - it's in the memories of others.

Eric --- I've been living the dream for about 22 years now (since I retired)... and I like traveling WITHOUT my wife better than with her. :relax:

It's funny - The Briz had to talk me into building the '33 body over building another '32 --- and I'm glad he did 'cause I just love this body style!


:D :thumbsup:

The blue and red look great together. Will you be going red on the rims too, Greg?

I love the color combo... it's "hot rod" without screaming... so.... subtle without being black.

I've already told Gwen you're her road trip replacement. HA! Now you just have to fight Pierre for shotgun... he thinks he's the new road trip KING.

Well I like your rig, Cheryl doesn't look at her F350 the same way since you brought it by but for $2 a mile I'm hoping to get a ride in another truck. :)

[GregWeld]

I'd pay $50 a mile for a ride in that bad boy!!!



Funny -- First thing people ask me is "what do you get for gas milage?".... When I tell them it costs .50 a MILE just for fuel.... their jaw hits the ground. So I'm pretty sure "operating costs" are somewhere around the $1.50 range. Got the 10,000 oil change while in Bakertucky.... $350. Mind you - it holds 19 GALLONS of oil. No that isn't a typo.
