29 ford build

Sorry all my pictures are out of order.

 

That's starting to look pretty wicked. One thing my newly bought Model A body doesn't have is bondo unless they have figured out how to make bondo rust I did find a mention that one of our members who is local to me just happens to have metal stripping as part of his business.

 

If a magnet sticks to it anywhere, Ya done good!
I'd make sure the lower Z corners are well gussetted, as it's a tall lever arm acting on the lower joint.

 

Good look man that's a huge z

 

There always is.

The picture with you in it,is that the ride height?

 

car looks good man, quick question what radiator are you using there?
your build reminds me of mine.

 

Hey fella thats a prettu sweet ride.

 

Thanks Fella sawyer. Thats a speedway radiator, there pretty nice for the money

I have air ride on the back. The car at ride height is about 3.5 inch. Iv got alot of chassis work left, i just wanted to take a break from it and work on the body.

 

Looks like a cool coupe build, keep posting, I'm doing a fenderless 31 with air front and rear.

 

Nice build... Looking good!!!

 

Metal work

 

did ya shave the top, or do I need new glasses? My Monte looks as bad as your'es and you have 40 years on me!

 

Not sure what ya mean. The drip rail area or the insert

 

When i bought this car about 8 months ago i wasnt sure what i bought. I drove all the way to kentuky to buy it, we got there at 3 in the mornin, it was dark as hell and i could really see the shape of the body. So on our way home as it started getting light out, every time we stopped for gas i looked the car over, and the more it got light out the more i realized i fu44ed up. Its gonna test my metal skills thats for sure.

 

Thinkin about using a 37 ford dash, not 100% sure i like it tho.

 

before

 

Started back on the frame. My goal is to have all the chassis welding done, brake lines ran, motor and tranny mounted, the front and rear end mounted in place and body back on in two weeks.
As long as i can get away from doing dishes and foldin clothes

 

That louvered driveshaft tunnel is cool!!

 

Thanks alot man

 

29 ford chassis build

 

32 ford head lights. il show pics a lil later of the stand i built for the headlights, not so sure im liking it.

 

This and HooliganHotRod's build will be a good thread watch. Bagged Hot Rods were never my thing but I can appreciate the skill and engineering you both are displaying. looking forward to seeing more. Good luck.

 

thanks alot man il keep posting as i go

 

Keep at it man, you're making some ground now. How much chop on the coupe? it looks like 5 or 6".

 

Just a question, how come with a suicide front you chose to run a spring instead of front bags as well?? It would have been easy to hide the bags on a suicide front.

 

Hooligan i just got done looking at ur build. No reason for front bags i can get the ride height i want with just usin the rear bags. Ya i chopped 6 out of it.

 

hows ur A coming.. did u get the body back on

 

Nope, not yet. I'm starting on the bodywork as I have time. Will be cutting out the firewall and making a new one on the bead roller. It will be a while yet before I put the body on.

 

Good deal man. cant wait to see it done
