Just a little background on why we have this car. It all started a long time ago. About 1990 as I recall. I was building a CMC 34 classic (AKA street beast) when at a car show I struck up a conversation with a guy. Long story short he had a real steel 33 Chevy coupe that was running and he wanted to trade me straight up for the kit. As a kid this seemed like a great deal and I still think so to this very day. So off it went and I was happy because I had a running car (Time saved)...or so I thought. It ended up being more bondo than steel and the body was made from several cars riveted together (yes aluminum pop rivets). It had bathroom rug in it and all the wires were red...every single one red. I took it to a show one day and went to start it and the dash went up in a blaze of glory. There was smoke everywhere! There was this guy there that seemed to come out of nowhere and hot wired it for me to get it home. This guy just vanished afterwards never to be seen again. I really wished I could thank him. This started a 3 year rebuild that fixed just about everything we could making the car not only look better but more pleasurable to drive. This started our love affair with 33 Chevy's. We drove it hard for ten years then kids happened. That in itself wasn't a bad thing we just needed a back seat now. So my father-in-law gave us a real nice deal on a 40 Chevy sedan. We ripped into that pretty good for a couple years but never really finished the build as it came time for the kids to start school. I made a tough decision to sell the coupe for a down payment on a house in a better school district and a much better town with a great neighborhood. I sold it on my wife's birthday of all days and she was pissed for months about it. As I waved goodbye to my coupe I had no idea it would be almost 15 years before I would get behind the wheel of another hot rod. As time passed the 40 Chevy just sat for several reasons. I only had a tight 1 bay garage and it was packed. Plus I was working 50 to 60 hours a week so the decision was made to sell the 40. That one didn't hurt so bad because it was too new for me. I like the styling and look of the 30's vehicles. I happen to think that 33 is the perfect year for cars. I have never seen a 33 anything that I didn't like. After the 40 was gone I went hunting for our old 33 but could never find it. Then one day I found a 33 chevy up in MA. A deal was made and home it came. At the same time I came across a killer deal on a 34 tudor. Both of these cars were from estates and were great deals. Trouble is; I still only had a one bay garage but I knew I was gonna have a larger garage someday so I tucked them both into that one bay. As time passed my Mom took ill and we added an addition to the back of our home. This was my opportunity for a garage so I cashed in what was left of my 401K and made my dream garage. Now that that was done I could finally get to some building again. It was decided that the tudor would be built first because of the kids. Well between the kids, work, and my Mom it has taken me 4 years to get my tudor to the point it is now. One day god said he needed another angel and he took my Mom. Sure I was sad (and still am) but it freed up some time and I was glad her suffering was over with. I had a good friend approach me the other day and asked me if I wanted to go in on a flip with him. The mark was a glass 32 ford 3 window coupe. We agreed it was a great deal and we could fix it up and sell it at peak season. The deal was made and the car was dropped off at my house. As it came off the flatbed and he started it; the wife was all excited. You see she has a love affair with the 30's hot rods as much as I do but she had never been behind the wheel of a hot rod. Now I'm a pretty big (around) guy. I'm 5'9" and just over 400 pounds. My shoe size is 12-5E (aka real wide). I get in this thing and my foot is hitting both the gas and brake at the same time so I can't drive it. I look at the wife and tell her to get in there and I'll ride shotgun. She was tad bit apprehensive at first but all that disappeared once she hit the go pedal. We got back to the house and we pulled it into the garage. Great now I'm packed in like a sardine again. The next day my buddy comes over and looks over the car and it was everything the guy said it was. My buddy is kind of a numbers guy. He drives me nuts sometimes but most times he is right. So the three of us are there talking about plans for the car (me him and the wife). He says "ya know... you could take 3 years off your build time with your 33 coupe and just keep this one. Yeah it's a glass car but I bet you could almost get what I paid for this out of the steel coupe". To wrap this diatribe up; a deal was made with a guy to buy the steel 33 chevy for almost the cost of a running glass car. I paid back my buddy and I shaved 3 years of build time off my life..Hence the name "Timesaver coupe". Follow along as we do little things to it to make it ours..er Hers. It will be nice to hit the open road with a hot rod again after all these years. Sorry for the long read.
