Stephen's 33 Hot Rod Build

[Ominousman]

I have wanted to build a Factory Five 33 Hot Rod for over 10 years. I finally pulled the trigger, went to Build School, and ordered a kit. The kit was delivered 11/2024, and I have been working on it since. I am a father of three, work full time and have a side business that takes up way too much of my time. Hoping to stay focused and see where I can get in four months when my garage is scheduled to be torn down and replaced with an ADU.

Here are some photos of Build School that I attended with my father-in-law. We had a blast putting a 33 together in 2.5 days.

The delivery was memorable, the truck nearly fit down our street as was stuck for some time when it was time to leave.

My first personalization on the build was to turn the fire wall.

I spent the last two months learning to powder coat and have finally figured out how to base, and clear my color of red. Looking forward to coating the control arms in the next week.
