Here is the body at rest with a 1/4" gap in the roof. I loosened all the hinge bolts and positioned the door in the opening. The result was a...
I pulled on the B pillar and that didn't help at all. Actually made it worse so tried pushing the B pillar back to make room for the front of the...
This is with the roof cut and unloaded. There's no pressure on the roof. If I adjust the door down in the front the door strikes the A pillar...
I learned the hard way not to over look problems specifically when you cut something and it goes "Boing!". The "Boing" being the top of the B...
I'm at a milestone with this car where it should be close to getting glass and body worked but I'm actually about to take a huge setback. I've...
I I can't cuss him too much. We all have to start somewhere
Looking for a good pair of 1935 Ford front fenders
I've been having issues with the drivers door on my 35 Ford 5W. While the passengers door has always fit well the drivers door is very different....
Good idea. That's what I'm going to do. I want the hose to be below the body.
I agree. Originally I planned on draining from both sides. When I take it down to prime & seal it I'll add the additional drain :)
There wasn't much of the before. Just some very rotted danglers
Since I got this project I've been sweating doing this repair. I worked it up to be some big complicated job. Turned out it was cake like many...
Finished up the last pillar. Ended up being the worst of the four but it all worked out. Did a little thinking and used all of my patience and it...
I'd bet you to be wrong.
I watch all the people you mentioned. Just to be clear, I wasn't bitching about the panels. I just asked how to make them better when Mr. EMS...
Can I use the frames from a tudor as parts donor? It looks like the rear of the frame on my 5W doors are wider than the tudor ? am I wrong?
I'd like to get from the body line up
Did some repairs to the A-Pillars. Didn't go nuts but did use some 14 gauge to rebuild the A-Pillar. Got a couple more pieces to make tomorrow....
I'm back at it. I can actually say the EMS panels force me to learn how to use my bead roller. I was able to mix & match bead roll dies in...
I've scoured the internet and can't find anything in America. Would this be comparable to a corking set ?
I agree. I post here and ask questions because I want to improve my skill set. I've gotten overwhelming positive support from HAMB'ers. I enjoy...
Wow! Seems like someone had to eat his dinner from a litter box last night. Why are you trying to jump on my case ? I confess to the sin of making...
So I experimented with my bead roller in trying to make a feature line patch. I spent a few hours experimenting and it was worth the effort. Feel...
Where can I buy that kit?
Yup, the feature line is toast. Way to thin to weld on. I was going to weld in the patch as is. Melvin said no one would notice and I believe he's...
I thought of that but I need access to the backside to hammer weld. That lower feature line isn't accessible. Using the whole patch my weld is...
I'm putting EMS patch panels on my 35 5W and have issues with the details. The body line is so much rounder at the edges as well as the lower step...
Seems many don't understand our situation on the east coast.
Here in NYC local auto glass shops are extinct. There are some commercial glass/mirror shops but none cutting auto glass. making it worse is costs...
