I have a "33" 5 window coupe I've been working on for almost two years, and looking forward to sponge all the info y'all can give.
The first pic is when I got her.

mixerman - Welcome to the forum, I also have a 33 5W coupe, chopped 2-1/2".  I'm sure you'll like this forum - great bunch of guys.  Where are you located?
I'm about 15 miles south east of College Station, Tx. One thing I've found out fairly quick is there are not a lot of after market or used parts for the 33, so I've been fab'ing a lot of what I need. Which isn't that big of a deal, I'm no stranger to fab'ing up what I need. The radiator grill I made from 1/4" round rod.

Thanks, for the welcome.

Here's a better pic

You are correct about 33 parts being hard to locate. In the link below Gen Rarick has been my go to parts source.

That is a nice build. Good work on the grill. Chevy guys know we don't have the aftermarket support like Ford does. Texas has a great hot rod tradition as you know, so you won't be alone just different. Give Bob at Owen's Salvage in Wellington, Texas a call. He might have some parts stashed away. If not he may know who does. You probably know of him and if not you should.cool guy! Oh, Welcome to the site, it's a friendly place. Keep us up on your build.

Welcome to the forum, mixerman. Hope you'll enjoy it here, you'll probably find the
guys here helpful and friendly. I have. and I haven't been here for very long myself.

That grille looks great! Very inspirational too, as I've been playing with the thought of making one myself. Good work!
