Highley Deuce 5 window build

I am doing all the metal work on the truck for a customer. Check out my photobucket account when you get a chance. I need to upload a bunch more pictures of it this weekend. Message me if you have any other questions about the truck.

 

I have been working on getting the top to fit better and the quarter windows done. Here are a couple good pictures on how I did the quarter windows. The pictures can explain it a lot better than I can.

 

The last two pics are great to show all the cut lines. Not too much left a little bit to straighten out and then a lot of welding, grinding and hammer work.

 

Damn, I thought mine was hammered hard.

You ain't kidding about lots of relief cuts to get things lined up. It's a lot of fun to get the top hinge aligned after whacking one this hard also.

Looks great man. Keep on keepin' on...

Man you chopped the hell out of that thing!!....I like it!.....I also like your inspiration pic in the background.

 

I have a couple leads on a some pieces to fix the header. So while I am waiting on those to hopefully pan out, I have been working on the rest of the chop. Here are a couple shots of the back window back in it. Going to take a lot to get it right. The lower portion of the window is pretty sad shape. If anyone out there has a back window from any 32 or at least the lower half please contact me.

 

Thanks for sharing the "hot mess". Inspiring and motivating. LOVE the proportions on the 1/4 windows and the back is textbook.

Got both doors opening and closing. Had to move the upper hinge. To say I was a little nervous would be a huge understatement. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I laid back the hinge on the a pillar and cut the one out of the door. Lined everything back up and made sure it was at the same angle as the lower. Door opens and closes great. I also cut the "skin' off the a pillar so I could get in behind it and weld everything up.

 

The door ended up getting cut in a total of 5 pieces. It is going to take a lot of little relief cuts to get the body lines to match and window channels straight.

 

schoum that is crazy good. i wish there was not and ocean between us took at those roof header and cowl top in person!!!!!!

josh ....... wow looking good. i am at alose for word on how that roof got that messed up?!?

 

Wow! This thing is lookin awsome! Nice save its all coming together nicely! Gives me inspiration to piece my 32 3 window together ....its got pieces from 5 cars a mixture of 32 and 34 ford body bits .......(some assembly and dissimilarity of parts may be nessesary)

 

looking great. nice job the chop looks good. thank you for all the pics this is the best thread my eyes are pealed been working on mine lately getting inspired. if you can post any pics of the subrails from the inside it would be great. Im thinking of using those brookville subrails they are nice.

 

Thanks! but when we are a French hotrodder, the ocean must not be a probleme! When we need a parts, the only solution is a USA/FRANCE shipping....
so, if you need one of my parts, I of course propose an over-sea shipping

 

Here is a little update. Between the holidays and being sick, I haven't made as much progress as I would like. Got the slit in the cowl filled

 

SO inspiring. Great work!!!!

 

nice work.
Al.
