Metal work restoration for this barn find from Montana

 

after tear down.Body ready for media blast

 

Bantams are cool. Post pics as it progresses.

 

That one needs some help! They are lucky they got you to do it.

 

I love threads by you TMS!!! Can't wait to see this one come together. But there was something about those pics of it in it's "Before" state,,,,, I have an unusually strong urge to fix old stuff, but that one just looked so cool in it's decay. I can hardly believe I said something like that. Please keep us posted on it's progress.

 

Not to hijack your thread to much, but. I have a pair of '38 Bantam front fenders that are rough, but no rust. If someone wants them, come and get them. Rich Fox [email protected]

 

thank you all,this one is definitely a challenge for sure.

Your not going to believe this but I just posted a thread a minute ago about the 33 austin roadster I just brought home and it came with an extra floor! Let me know if it would help you.

Ill check the floor on the truck on Monday and pm you.Thanks!

 

Wow, .... a real Austin!

What are your plans for it?

 

After seeing it blasted to bare metal, I think "challenge" is putting it mildly!!
