just went searching google for pictures of 1933 chev SDL.....now I remember, its a 1932 carried over to create a 1933.

So if you built created a 33 sedan delivery using a 1933 master 2 door sedan, you would have a ONE OF ONE, one off PHANTOM.

here is what I found on google

There are only two ways to build a car. #1. Build what makes you happy. #2. Build what makes someone else happy. Sometimes it's the same. From the quality of work you do I am sure that what makes you happy someone else will be happy to buy. Go for it!
My only sedan delivery was a '40 Ford Deluxe. I wish I had kept that one. I sold it to Art Himsl for $125.

^^^^^^^Yep, i agree.  99% of my cars i built my way, I never listened to "well you should do this" or "Well I wouldn't do that".  I built them for me, they way i liked it.  As soon as the car was done, everybody and their buddy would try to buy it.  Dad always told me to quit falling in love with a damned car and sell when ever good money was offered.

Well when something else came along i had to have, i would then sell it. Never had a problem unloading them.

on the TERMITES AND BOWTIES site page 101 there is a guy in new Zealand doing exactly what your talking about..........convert 4 dr sedan to sedan delivery.  that's right 4 door as base donor body.  Crazy amount of work but rear looks great

wifey does excellent work, barely know its even there , the welting.

34 master dash panel looks good in the 33.  Do you have the 3 center bars not shown , just the holes.

Great idea with the welting and a great job too!
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Nice work by the wife!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Got the " might as well" going on while I have the fender off might as well try to get a better gap and line up the body line a little better, I removed pads on body mount bolts  and improved door closing but a little on the gap and body line...came to the conclusion this is the best it gets...probably a factory flaw...

It doesn't look so bad to me. You may be your own worst critic, remember this is 95 year old steel, it's been through a lot! ;)
