I believe Joe asked you a question:

Thanks, Joe

HR #198

[Tim Whittaker]

Sent him a PM when he asked the question.
Door pulls are from PARR Automotive and the headlights were on the bike pages of Ebay.

Damn,Tim!! Look's like you have a good grip on a kick #@# Hot Rod build!! Keep at it and keep sending the pic's!!

[Tim Whittaker]

You can check us out at: kootenaivalleycustoms.com for some nice parts we make for the 33 as well.

[Tim Whittaker]

Mostly done with the roll pan mold. Hope to pull one off in the next week or so.

Where did you guys get the louvres? Did you make them or buy them like that because my dad and I are thinking of louvring the engine side covers

[Tim Whittaker]

I have them available or you can find them online. If you elect to do this, note that the drivers side panel is 1/2" higher than the passenger side. You need to compensate for that or you will notice it when you look at the louvers from the front. The body on the 33 is not symmetrical in any way shape or form. Once you pay attention to that, you can "fudge" things to make it look symmetrical to some degree.

[timmy318]

Yes, I've noticed that, we have a separate set of side covers for when we run the full fender kit. How much are you asking?

[Tim Whittaker]

Took some time to put some Envirotex on the wood parts.

Pictures above are cowl stiffeners, wider fenders, epoxy windshield post mounts and NACA ducts for foot box blowers.

[Tim Whittaker]

I machined up some delrin bushings for the doors that are a closer tolerance than the oilite supplied with the kit. Also a photo of the electric power brake system I will adapt to the 33.

Side pipe mock up.

I've got to have one of those accelerator pedals. That's pretty!!!!! You did say "custom" didn't you? Nice work all around.

WEK.

[Tim Whittaker]

WEK,

Thanks. The throttle pedal is a Lokar unit.

Tom, did the Lokar dash insert require much room compensate for the natural curve of the dash?

[Tim Whittaker]

Some have made the dash go flat by mounting something flat to the back and forcing it into submission. I elected to leave the natural curvature and put a rubber filler in the ends. It's only about a 3/16" gap for about 3" on each end.

Tim, I was just browsing your website and found a number of very interesting items. I will definitely be in touch once my kit(s) finally arrive. Wll you be making the rear roll pan available from your mold?

Nick

[trublue]

Can't wait to see the finished pictures. You are really creating a work of art. The first thing I really noticed was the stunning wood dash. In the unfinished state it was beautiful and then you applied the finish! I am confident SEMA and other venues will be beating a path to your door.

[Tim Whittaker]

Hi Nick,

Yes the roll pan is available but not on my web site yet. Probably in the $125.00 range but haven't decided yet. I want to pull one off the mold soon and make sure it's as i want it. It will actually be two pieces as it has to be able to come off to get the body off if one ever needs to do so.

The additional step to make it removable might add a few bucks to the price. I have over 60 hrs. in the mold but it does make the rear end look nice. maybe not everyone's cup of tea ......

Mine actually will have a retractable license plate incorporated into it for my car.

[Tim Whittaker]

Thanks trueblue. I would lie to take it to SEMA when done if I can work something out with FFR.

[CQ hotroder]

G'day Tim. One of these photos would suggest that you're running bottom mounted wipers. I'm also looking to do the same so would be interested in your setup and the kit used. I purchased mine from Autoloc.

LOVING THE WOOD!

[Tim Whittaker]

Thanks guys !!!!!

Paul,

Wipers are from Specialty Power Windows. Pretty Easy install.

[CQ hotroder]

Cheers thanks Tim

Tim,

Can i ask how you dealt with the Lokar Dash Bezel... The dash itself is higher in the middle.. how did you get the bezel to sit flush?

[Tim Whittaker]

In spite of some shoulder surgery, I was able to run some plug wires and make a bracket for mounting the coil.
