Projects THE FRYSLER MY BUILD 29 5W FROM PU pic heavy

This is really coming together nicely

 

thanks mate
i get not having the money or using three or four cars to make one
what ever you gotta do really to get the job done

 

This next part is strictly traditional but
When I got these doors they had no inner skin just wood. I'm really happy with the result


Opinions are like assholes every has one

 

I ment to say isn't strictly traditional in the above post
Couldn't find the edit button in the app

I really like the application. It may not be too traditional but it has to be very functional and safe. I think you used your head.

 

I have 2 opinions!

Bloody Hell mate you are a fabrication machine! All that progress in under a year.....

Love your shop too looks like it's been around for 100 years with a stone wall and all.

 

Look up beater32's thread called building a deuce trunklid that should be helpful for your next step...

 

Cool build.

 

I would say that making what you have- work, is the definition of traditional ! incredible work man, can't wait to see it done.

 

Interesting-
Do you have a pic of 29 Chrysler pickup? I don't think I've seen one.

 

Will do thanks

 

Sorry fourspeed I don't
And in all my research I don't think I found one either but I was searching for 29 Chrysler 5 window coupes

 

wouldnt it have been easier and cleaner to build a tubing structure to match the wood leftovers and use that as a door inner?

 

Some of the wood was missing
As for easy that was quick and easy
But I've still got along way to go
I have to bridge between the new and the old yet but I will post pics as I go

 

Hey Jd.....any progress?

 

hi king ford
yes small amount of progress on the top half of one door which im very happy with
just got my leg out of plaster and am now wearing something called a moon boot
dont if that makes me a qualified astronaut or not ha ha will post some pics for you in the
morning.not my usual pace but it will pick up soon
ive scored a chassis and have scored 4 out of the six required carbs for my home made log manifold
that is to come a bit later on
jd

 

As promised a few progress shots
First one is of the screen top
I cut out the curved piece which was fucked and replaced it with some square , I think it give it a mean stance


Second is the door top which is made from a
61 falcon door top still some finishing to do
But I like it

 

Amazing what you've done so far!
You mentioned that the '29 Chrysler pickup didn't have any doors, but where did the ones you're using come from? I thought they might be Plymouth or Dodge but that's just a guess.

 

I'm really enjoying this build, simply incredible, very good fabrication, impressive!!

 

You're right they are Plymouth

 

Thank you
Are you in Canada if so I think I followed your build if not thanks for the kind words

 

Hi Justin:

I'm located in Minnesota, got my avatar on the road late in 2014, 2015 was my first full year, 7,303 miles. Your metal work is simply amazing, if we were neighbors, I'd be over there daily, just watching, and of course bringing the beer!

 

Always up for a coldie cheers
