Projects Black Widow Coupe *** 30 Model A Build

Hi Sky Pilot, here's what I built to remove and install bodies on my cars. A twelve foot A frame that can be taken down and reinstalled in minutes. Costs were around $50.

 

wow

 

i like that

 

Straightening crushed roof -All 4 sides--- YOW !

 

Good job

 

slow but sure thanks

 

There will be a lot of mocking up to get me inspired Lol --Making some head way with the roof---

 

Test fitting possible fill in panel-skinned the panel off the rail supports

 

DITTO

 

You need to load the Willys up or one of the Vettes up and come hang with us in Bowling Green in June.
What else do you have to do that would be more fun???

 

Skinned the panel off its frame -doing some test fitting--- going to have to make a total flat panel -into compound curves--- one way isnt bad--- but front to back -the ribs said N0! lol

 

Top piece seems to be fitting pretty decent. I love that plate with the pelican on it! This shows where I put my plate, but it still may change.

 

lol i changed mine constantly top to bottom udside down right side up i loved them all -used a magnet behind the plate for a while Ha--

 

Finally Got roof panel on --Flat to double compound cuvres . Those ribs didnt want to give... Had to do some step down on the wooden bows , as well as trim back the need header--- when i look back the pictures made it look EZ -but was very time consuming --just wanted a different look .

 

The roof looks like it came out very nice. Worth the effort I would say.

 

thanks sir not done yet -next is to chop it lol

 

Hi Sky Pilot, here's how mine turned out with a 5" chop.

 

lookz sweet Ralph ! thx

 

I like the "lines" in the new panel. Just a different than the everybody's normal look.

 

here goez nothing

 

Awesome

 

thanks enloe moving slow on the pictures lol

 

first chop 3 3/4 front 3 1/2 rear

 

Save the pieces you cut out. Someone will need them to fix a top that was chopped too much

 

Love your "crane"!

 

"Save the pieces you cut out. Someone will need them to fix a top that was chopped too much"

I saved my pieces on my last 2 chops and had 2 different people email me about them. I gave the them away for shipping fare.

 

Rocky
Go ahead and start making plans to get one of the Vettes out next June and come to Bowling Green with us.

 

using some of the cut pieces to reinforce and help align roof back----
