Projects buying an ole can a beans:my 29 ford

Yes there is. @Tim and I have devised a plan haha. Between all the reference pics and measurements I’ve began marking the car out and removing the old wooden roof that was worse for ware last night. It will get the cut off wheel Saturday evening after work. Timm has done a lot of footwork in getting a plan of action for the chop

well after a long day at work I cam home made a little progress took two cut off disk to the welding hood and decided maybe I need to wait till morning restock and maybe go at it with a sawzall. Strap from rafter too rood to help take some of the weight off so it doesn’t bite my disk spinning at 10k rpm and send them into orbit

a chop really does wonders. She looks all sorts of mean now. Can’t wait to order my 750s for the rear. Should make it just about perfect

I've never been involved in a chop and I have a question. In the early cars like your "A", do you splice the wood framing back together some how or what?

 

Yeah you would dowl them back together from what I’ve read but there was hardly any wood left in mine

Yeah I don’t know what happened on a a few cuts but I should be able to get it tight
