Projects Martin Ford´32 5 Window Build

Thanks guys !!!
The wheel issue is on track again, got a pair of hoops that is 8" wide so I had to take some "'s off.
My friend Tomas was helping me out yesterday and we made a hight adjustable holder for the grinder and cut the hoops off on the very flat stone table.
I seriusly belive this method is better then using a big lathe as the hoops might be a little soft when mouting them on a lathe chuck.(without wheel centers)

 

Inside Dash, these little guys turns 12v into 6v for the gauges. Dont ask how, Lucky as I am Janne is helping me with the electrical things.

 

Solved the worn out speedo issue today , took the internal mecanism from a new speedo and got it fit in the stock case andalso changed the face. The hole fr the odo lined up perfect.

 

Got a set of new dash lights but the stock Lincoln light holes was to big.
Rubber grommets was an easy solution.

 

Good to see you back on the wheels, it just strikes me as a cool project.

 

Wheels are awesome. Good to see you are still pursuing making your own. It's also great to know that a new speedometer will fit the old face. Great work, and keep on rollin'.

 

Thanks guys, im about to meet up with the mill/lathe guy this weekend to get the wheelproject goin.

Got the front lights shining today. Found 12v bulbs that fit the original socket from UK.

 

Looking good, Martin! That dash is going to look great when finished and in the car.

 

Nick, the dash is mounted and all the electrical is done.
Fired it up today for the first time and after 15 min of self tuning it runs like a champ. The throttle response couldnt be better.
Ill guess im on the road for a testdrive within a few weeks

 

That dash is just....Awesome doesn't describe it.
What would be a Swedish word for super cool, drop dead gorgeous?
Hey Martin, I'm going flathead.

 

YES!!!!! Now that's how it's done! Enough said...

 

That dash rocks!!!

 

It's been a bit since I checked out this build. All I can say is, WoW! And the custom zephyr dash is so right! Awesome, Martin!

 

Beautiful!!!

 

Cant find the word either
Way to go with the Flathead Jeff, they got a sound that's hard to beat.

Thanks all for your comments guys

Got the new axle back from the crome shop today .

 

Incredible

 

Looking real good, and the Swedish word for it is "asfräck"

 

'Asfrack' it is them, for sure.
I also feel that the sound of a flathead or Y block is absolutely the best.
I guess the design engineers decided that other firing orders were more productive.
Keep it happening, Martin, it's a winner.
Davo.

 

I did it, an hour ago I got it out on a test drive around the block.
Borrowed a set of tires.

 

Martin: The car looks and sounds awesome!!!

 

Congrats on the first drive! Well done!

Mart.
