Seeing your radiator got me thinking - just where did I put mine?
I assume there were no extra parts sitting on the bench once you got the transmission all assembled again? :D
Where do you find running board covers these days? I'm going to have to do the same that you did.
So, I wanted to protect the fender after removing all its paint. I used AfterBlast. I would spray in on and scrub it in with a scotch-brite type...
So, do you reinforce them in some way? Would you use a piece of sheet metal or use a bent steel rod?
I've gotten a little behind in my updates on my Ford. This front fender progress has been tedious and slow, but I'm getting there. Last Tuesday...
Sorry, more paint stripping since the first rounds didn't quite get it all. First thing I did was separate the apron from the fender so I could...
Thanks! I'll take a look at these.
Since I was working on the driver's side front fender I figured I might as well continue. At some point I'll need to strip it down to see what...
Let me know if you want any additional pictures of that area and where I should place the tape measure.
Hopefully, some of these pictures will be helpful. That thick udercoat is what I brushed on - a bucket of Sears & Roebuck undercoat I had put on...
I also got looking at the lip of the wheel opening on the driver's side fender and found this. The blue arrow points at the nice, original...
Turns out that the CW Moss hood ornament and handle are out of stock when I tried to order them. Someone had tried to jam the handle shut on mine...
Thanks much! I'm going to see what I can do with this one to get it into shape, but I might take you up on that!
Actually I have. Your work is great! But for me this fender is rough since it will be a challenge for me to get it right.
I appreciate your comment. I find myself second-guessing everything I do since I would like this to come out really nice. And I don't quite have...
Tuesday started out with me deciding if I removed the old headlight I'd have a better pick-up point for lifting the fender into position. How...
Good video. Thanks!
By the way, is the CW Moss hardware good? I need to get a new hood ornament and handle. Also, how are the WeedETR front fender supports?
I take a look at that. Thanks!
I'll see if I can find that. Thanks!
Are you guys aware of any You-Tubes on rolling that edge for a fender repair?
I was wondering how they got them in as I was pulling them out. I agree, I'd like to see the process they used to whack them into place!
Were they something that Ford did after-market? They aren't on the other fender and it has no holes in it from where they might have been.
Speaking of the rolled edge of the fender. My driver's side front fender has a bit of an issue. I cleaned that up this week. That edge looks a...
I don't think I would ever be able to re-create that beautiful rolled edge if I ever hacked on my wheel openings. How would you roll that like that?
At this point it shouldn't be too hard to make adjustments as I'm just using blocks between the axle and the frame and I can move them forward or...
Sorry, already done. I should have posted this earlier: [ATTACH] I probably needed the welding practice anyway...
I was afraid someone would tell me that! :(
Not much today. I just played with masking tape and a tape measure. Previously I had used a carpenter's square for this measurement, but I think...
