Hot Rods Late 31 Ford Truck CHOP & CHANNEL !

Lookin' good Flop, as always. Keep hammering away.

 

thanks man ! Im sick of thing thing flopping around when i open a door so time to make it solid

we couldnt find these brackets anywhere so I guess they dont re pop them

before



cut bent and welded



from the front



and the back

 

getting the passenger side tight so this thing can finally start to get solid



finally figured out why the door gap was horrible on the drivers side



all and all some good progress on Ians truck !!

 

Metal magic.

 

Awesome work.

 

Looks good Flop. Can you show us more on the rivets, Like how you do them and where you get them and what tools you need. I Really like your build.

 

ha thanks Matt !

thanks Voodoo

Mule Farmer i cheat on the rivets they are all burned in with the tig . i get them from snyders they are used for floor pans etc in Model As

the drivers door turned out to be pretty nasty







but got it tacked altogether to see if it fits better



and its does fit a ton better!



alll kinds of work ahead in this door .

 

got most of the subframe issues tied up yesterday the truck can support its self nowadays!!



made the drivers side triangle bracket



next to get the back of the truck mounted to the subframe !

 

subrails done! now onto the back of the cab gonna have to make a whole new panel!!

 

made the subrail extension so the back of the cab has something to mount to . still going to make a little radius for some clearance in the middle .

 

Awesome work. Thanks for covering a lot of the tedious parts on this truck. I'm sure it will help with future builds, mine included. I need to get to Pittsburgh and visit where the majic happens.

 

thanks dead end ! i just like to do it so it looks factory . always have always will . if you are ever around the area shoot me a message .

put the radius in the subrail extension today . i dont know if it will need it or not but just incase !






next will be making a whole back panel for the truck from the beltline down!

 

My buddy Russ stopped by this weekend from Jersey and I had the perfect thing for him to do ...Help me make a half sheet of metal look like the back of a truck !

we got this spot welded to the subframe and primed



roll the bead then break the metal



then put your radius in



then it gets to the poitn where we hope it fits!



add some crown and get bending



this t-ruck is a mess



now we are talkin !!

 

once again Russ from Summit Rod and Custom gave me a huge hand this weekend in getting this back panel tied together


getting it all tacked together




made the radius on the frame today





other side and the corners are next !

 

Nice work, great fab work.

 

thanks mulefarmer took some doin thats for sure!!

Flop, again thanks for taking the time to post pics and do these threads, we really enjoy them

 

great work as always flop!

 

Great to see another A with a promising future,great thread flop..

 

Amazing work! That back panel is so cool. Wish I could fabricate half as good as you. Awesome project.

 

Nice work Flop! Did you use a tipping wheel to get a flange on the curved pieces in that back panel?

 

appreciate it everyone!!

k13 i cheated.. the radius edges are welded in
i knew a bunch of welding was in my future!

100 inches as of right now!!





still needs filed out and finished off . drivers side that goes into the curve is not welded yet either

 

Looks great!!

One of these days I need to start work on my a pickup

 

don't know how i missed this one. but again, you are very talented.

 

Wow! nice work

 

thanks trucknut!

tahnks hall

got the radius in on the passenger side of the frame



its needs some inner structure work



cab corners are a rough customer . 2 tries still not right ... 3rd times a charm?

 

Damn great work Flop, I'm subscribed, Iv got a 30 pick I need to get to.
