Customs 35 Ford 3-window build

I made the last pieces around the tranny. The top around the shifter and the parking brake is removeable. I have the toe boards welded in now. I just need to weld all of this together and then Im done with floors for now until I step the rear frame.

 

Looks great!!! Good to see some progress again.

 

That's a good looking floor, super nice job.....Jim

 

I scored a collection of parts from an old timer from my home town yesturday. The mirror with the clock and the really nice waterfall will be going in my car. I also got a dash, another set of tube shock brackets, 4 other waterfalls, a shackle kit, a set of pedal pads, a wide five hub cap, some wire wheel caps, a set of the trim that goes below the garnish moldings and a set of 36 headlight lenses

 

I also got a spare tire holder but I dont have a pic of it

 

Nice score on the parts.....Jim

 

Cool!!! That one waterfall IS nice!!

 

Wanna sell that clock mirror?

 

No not really but if I change my mind I will let you know

 

I finished welding the floor today and ground all the welds down.

 

Very nice work as usual, Let me know If you'd like to get rid of a waterfall..

 

Floor looks super...Jim

 

The cowl vent gutter was rusted out in my car. We have a customer car in the shop that the vent is getting filled on so I robbed the better gutter out of it. I repaird a few rust holes in it and welded the hinge brackets back on. The hole going into the drain tube was much smaller than the tube so I drilled that out and welded all the way around the tube to prevent leaks. I now have it welded into the car but not finished.

 

Amazing work! Let me know if you decide to sell one of them waterfalls.

Very nice job...Jim

 

Real nice job on that and worked out perfectly for you having the donor out of the customer car!

 

Looking good............see ya Sunday.

 

I ground and finished the welds tonight and I put it all together. I used an original screen out of a parts car I had. The handle is also an original that I buffed the bare steel

 

Beautiful workmanship - it doesn't even look like anyone's been there...

Nice work on the cowl vent! Looking good.

 

X2 super work....Jim

 

I worked on the gas pedal tonight. I had to widen it an inch to make it line up where I wanted it. I also had to cut a hole in the firewall for it to bolt to.

 

Looks kool!!!!

 

Nice job....Jim

 

You managed to take a 32 pedal and widen it to suit a 35!
Everybody else does it the other way around!

Love this build.

The rod going from the gas pedal to the carb was at an angle and that botherd me. So I lengthened the linkage end of the pedal. Doing this also changed the ratio of the pedal for the better. It made it so I could keep the pedal closer to the floor so it looks better. I also made some new drain tubes for the windsheild since one was leaded shut and the other was gone.

 

Nice job, look great...Jim

 

You are doing some super nice work!

I decided that I would mount the heater while I still have the dash off. I got my heater core back from the radiator shop. The heater box had studs sticking out the back originaly, but I didnt want them sticking throught the firewall. So I knocked the studs out and welded them to the firewall. I also welded the spacers to the heater box. The defroster ducts were pointing straight at the firewall, so I am going to weld some tubing on to change the angle.

 

Coming along nicely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
