I'm quite a bit older than your dad,--But here's my first car in 1949,--It was only 8 years old then.
Bought it from a school teacher for $500.00.

Keep up the great restoration work!-----Don

 

Looks like great work you're doing and something you and your dad can have a blast with!

 

well started on this today the rear pan kinda warped on the top that many curves your going to have problems like the cowl piece on the right it was a pain

 

not even close plus the gap to the trunk

 

plus a dent

 

out comes the hammer and dollies

 

looks good. did you have to put in any additional floor supports when you did the floor in the front?

Mine was rusty but not that rusty... makes me feel better!

definitely subscribing to this thread.

post pics for what you do on the inner wheel wells in the back.

 

no just replaced the old ones the front ones that came with the floor dont line up all to well ill have to fix it it bugs me ill get picks soon

 

Damn, ruff is an understatement……but looks like your making good progress.
We just chopped my '41 Coupe this past weekend.
Maybe when we finish these we'll cross paths at "Cruizin the Coast"

ps I have a shop working on Miata's, so I know the feeling.

 

im not chopping this one ive done enuff work on it lol

 

We used the street rod pan on my 47 it took a trimming to match up and we had to put in a section for a light. I put my bumpers back on and the requuired us to
to cut slits, we end up mounting it like a 39 Chevy.

 

well it came out alright just took some work.

 

he just picked this up for it
