Default My new ride.

Hey Guys,

I finally got my car running well enough to get it out of the garage and washed up and ready for the camera.

I bought this car because it had everything I wanted in a woodie. If I built the car I would have done it almost the same.

It’s a 1933 Woodie. Starting at the front, Brassworks radiator, Engine by H & H Engines, Red headers, Columbia overdrive by Dan Krehbeil, Hydrolic brakes -early V8 shop, paint by Suicide Axle Hot Rods, etc.

And don't forget....she's got an OPERATIONAL Columbia rear end, too. Beautiful color choice.

I agree with Coop, the green goes well with the blonde maple. That is why I chose to paint my 40 wagon Acadia Green. I am partial to 33s as I also have one. Nice car you found, I have never been in a position to buy one "done", good work.

Thanks Guys,
I think the car has “good bones” , now it’s up to me (along with your help) to get them to to work together reliably as they were meant to.
When I bought the car I thought I finally was getting a car that I could enjoy right out of the box with the occasional “tinker”. Just the opposite. After two months at my mechanics shop to fix a few major problems, I’ve spent 2 - 5 hours a day working on the various systems for the past 2 months but for me it’s been a labor of love.
I still have a long list of items that need attention but I will get there.
Back to work!

Richard

That is one really beautiful wagon you have there. It is clear that all the effort put into the restoration has paid off! Enjoy it!
