That thing looks great! I like a lot of things about your car, the way the exhaust exits looks so clean.

Re: 1933 Chevy Cabriolet First Ride
« Reply #189 on: July 06, 2014, 12:23:30 PM »
Seven years ago when I brought this car back to New Hampshire in boxes I promised my Dad he'd get the first ride.  After a lot of work and help from some close friends and family, today I was able to keep that promise.  My Dad was born in 1933 so he's the same age as the car.  It wasn't a long ride but I think it made his day.  It definitely made my day!

A couple of additional pics of the first ride.  After my Dad I took my friend Clayton for a quick ride.  He's helped me a lot making machine shop parts as I needed them.  The plan is to finish a few more things this weekend and register it next week.  If all goes well it'll be on the road for my daughter's wedding Friday July 25.  She wants me to drive her up to the ceremony in it.

Looking good. Your Daughter must be a good one to arrive at her wedding in a roadster!  Great job on the car and young lady!
