New floor in my 46 Ford

[Fatstang]

When I work on my 46, doing some things are more enjoyable and give me more satisfaction then doing other things. Replacing the firewall, rocker boxes, truck and floors were a blast when I had the right stuff to do it with. Camper jacks for lifting the body is without a doubt the way to go. I don’t remember which HAMB member turned me onto this, but I sure own them my thanks. The rotisserie helped matters as well, but it wasn’t a must have, just a nice to have. I think the pace on the project is going to pick up now after making this milestone.

Anybody got any shortcuts in replacing some of the trunk rubber seal channel that's ate up?

ive used small tubing before, cut in half, to replace such parts. dont know if thats what you are looking for or not...

FEDER is the camper jack guy you speak of. He posted pics of a Merc body lift-off he did, and I copied it. Works excellent. I used his idea (and the exact same jacks you used) to lift the body of my Merc off it's frame and transplant it onto a newer chassis. I ordered mine from a camping place nearby, took a couple days to get them. I went one Saturday morning to pick them up, and they looked at me like I had lobsters coming out of my ears when I told them what I was actually using them for...

your progress looks excellent. Nice to have a rotisserie, huh? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
