I was able to make some new sub rails by bending some 18ga over the edge of my table into a Z and then using the shrinker / stretcher to match the...
This is what the stock 87 up “spider” looks like. It bolts down in the valley and the fingers simply keep pressure on the center of the link...
That’s a really nice car, I like the olds in it also. That must have been one serious engine to turn 106 mph in that car.
I’m looking for a 35-6 roadster/ Pheaton glovebox door if anyone has one or knows of one for sale I’d appreciate it. [ATTACH]
Firewall was a bit of a challenge, after sectioning it 6”s I had to fix a bunch of cracks, fill holes and transition the beads into the lower...
Beyond impressed, your work is over the top!
The easiest way to make the 32 frame “fit” width wise is to place the body on the floor and trace it. Then place the 32 rails so the points you...
Dash is awesome, deck lid looks like it was born there nice work man
Wow that’s very nice. @F-head would you mind sharing how to do the tuck wire in the foam? When I made my first seat I tried to get that roll of...
Wow what a great car, love all the fab work.
Really nice work
The early Ford store California sells a reproduction listed to fit 32 pass car.
An electric shear with some form of guide will cut a very nice straight line with no cleanup. I use my small air saw with cut up Lenox hacksaw...
I decided to try and make my own driveshaft after talking with a friend of mine that has done it a few times. Ordered up some Spicer weld yokes...
Car looks great @vtwhead moving right along. What is that slave cylinder from that you used?
This is PVC foam board about 1/8” thick. I used it to make all the panels in my coupe. It was under $40 for a 4x8’ sheet. It can be stapled to or...

Looks great with that chop and 32 rails, are you still planning to do the 32 header?
Coupe is coming right along looks good. 4” chop looks nice on them. I did my 28 almost 5” even at 5’10” I have plenty of headroom still. Setting...
If you clamp the shift cover in the vise and go in and out of reverse and other gears does it all feel smooth?
This is a great suggestion and many times overlooked, a lot of OE setups used a spring in the lower hose.
Car is looking great Aaron, the poly primer is the way to go saves a lot of time getting it straight.
That floor looks so good! excellent work
@vtwhead I did not see that, sent her a message worth a shot. Thank you
Had some issues with the nailhead in my coupe so the roadster project has been on hold. [ATTACH] The car is running again now so roadster...
