Projects 1931 Model A Coupe Y-Block Build (Father&Son)

Thank you!!

 

Just realized I never posted any before and after pictures of the cowl/ roll cage and structure of the body

 

Great work & attention to detail. Thanks for sharing your build.

 

awesome fabrication at the start of this tasty build. You go dudes, father and son, perfect

 

Thank you, thanks for checking it out!!

 

Thank you for the kind words!!

 

one of the best builds that I read , I wish I new what you forgot thanks for sharing.

 

Great job so far! I really like your details. Even though most will never notice, you know they're there and that's what counts. Thanks sharing.

 

Thank you very much!!

 

Thank you! Haha yep, there's a lot of that but like you said I know they're there and that's what matters!

 

Drivers side quarter panel is done. Man that was a lot of work! A total of 3 quarter panels and 3 patch panels to make one solid quarter panel. Glad that's over!

Used the back half of this quarter panel


Patching it up



Had to pie cut in the middle of the new corner patch and add to it and reshape the bead cause it was too small (of course)




The original quarter panel, the back half was really beat up and for some reason had a bunch of cuts in it?



Time to start bringing these two pieces together




All fitted and tacked in place


Time to fix the chop. The previous owner didn't do a very good job at chopping it, atleast to our standards anyway. So we re did the chop with a better top piece .


And for some reason someone cut this piece like this? Not sure why anyone would need to cut it like that, so we had to fix that too.







Quarter panel is done! Now it's time to sandblast and seal it. That was a lot of cutting, welding, and test fitting. This car will now be known as "Frankenstein" haha

 

It's amazing the amount of work some of us go to in order to (re)create one good, solid body to build a Hot Rod.

Great work there!

 

I look at it like this...those pieces were too good to throw away, so someone had to save them, right? may as well be us.

''Father and son, we do it all'' X 1000!

(Though I know that you're are doing all the work, Nathan.)

Are you going to upholster it yourself too?

It's gonna be so neat to see your coupe on the road!

Looking good man should be ready to rock by spring

 

An incredible amount of work completed to such a high standard. Well done Nate.
Cheers,
Stewart.

 

My little brothers and I assembled an A coupe body out of many pieces. When we were done it had parts from 13 different donor bodies in it. We called ours Frank too.

 

Just had a chance to read through the whole thread. Astounding work!

 

Frank or patches

 

There sure is a lot of work in this body!! Thank you!

 

Thank you sir!

 

Hahah too many patches

 

Thanks Rick!! The old man is doing his fair share as well. But yes im going to upholster myself as well... eventually haha

 

Thanks Tim!! It will for sure be ready for spring

 

Hey thanks Stewart!! It's getting there

 

Driver side quarter panel is on and wood kit is installed. Few little things to do before re shooting the whole body.

 

Awesome job. This car kicks so much ass! Can't wait to see it all together.

 

As always your doing it up right and thats why this is at the top of my need to see where the build is. Great job! Roger

 

Thank you so much! Neither can I!!
