Projects ford 35 5w project.... or fordor cannibalism!

about 1 1/2 year ago, bought in center of France, a 35 nice and solid fordor, barn-find, one owner, forgotten since 1962.
the car is equiped of artillery wheel, spare wheel with his cover, and a columbia rear end!

the project is a 5w convertion. I will build a new frame on air. I want to drive it low, very low. I keep the original frame for another project.

let the pics speak!







1st step, disassembly before complete sand blasting






wash primer on all the inside face. the exterior will stay bare metal during the modifications





oldschool photoshop time!

 

I start the modification with the rear main belt line and rear glass. I must move it upper, to fit the 5w line


cut on the line....


moved up


the rear glass is1 inch chopped



ready to weld



tig welded and plannishing





now, I can start to stretch the top!



that's all today...

 

I'm just seeing Xs schoum,no pics...

Gidday Chris,I just found this and are looking forward to watching it transformed.
Seeing your other builds I'm sure you will nail it.

 

Great start ! Roger

 

Cant see no pics either

 

Sweet. I knew I smelled pics' ! They are starting to arrive on this end. They may have been fighting their upcoming identity change. That is a solid car to start with ... for sure. No snow plows and salt in France I guess .... at least on the roads anyway.

Edit : 8 pictures showing in Texas sir ! No problems. Took a second or four to load. Max speed internet package here. Hello ? This thing working ? Over. Garage Me'hault banner hanging from your rafters.

 

sorry! I don't understand what happen with the pics! I can't see them, now!

 

Yes there are a flew blue X showing but we get the general idea.
As posies saying goes. "Anyone can restore a car but it takes a man to cut one up" I think it should say clever talented man.

 

All I see are broken image links.

Think " T Rex " "metal guru is it you metal guru is it you" . Well this looks like what Marc bolan the psycho rocker was singing about on his Gibson stratocaster guitar. You are the metal Guru.
Bring it on .

 

Might just have to do the same to have my dream car ! Looking good !
