Default A step closer on the 34!
It may not seem like much but was a major hurtle to over come for me. There was rot in both rear quarters. I'm not a body guy by no means but I'm pretty proud of the job. Just wanted to share it with especially you body and fender guys, your work is difficult! Ken

Looks pretty good compared to what I've seen on here and the HAMB!

Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!

NICE WORK! That'll shine up beautifully. It's so rewarding to fix stuff like that yourself.

You deserve to be proud, Ken, it's a job well done. I have a 33 5W that needs the same work.

Mart.

I have the same issues, 33 5W. I think they all have problems in about the same areas!

My '33 Tudor purchased in 1960, Portland, Oregon area was bad all the way around including the drivers floorboard and door bottoms. Portland got a lot of rain and snow back in the day and accumulation of dust and dirt the cars had no hope of lasting without rusting out. Checking it out today you would never know it. It did require a lot of work and new metal.

Looking good Ken. You can do the job yourself. It just takes a little longer.
