Projects Martin Ford´32 5 Window Build

Great Work!!

 

Answer.
I do not want a removable firewall, removable firewalls makes me feel sick......
...........I can't even imagine myself living together with a removable firewall.


But if you think about it, if I for some strange reason later on in the future wants to pull out the wall. I'll start the grinder

 

Just found this thread, read through the entire thing, excellent build and craftsmanship. Subscribed. Looking forward to more!

 

Great thread! Thanks for all the casting details. Really nice work.

 

Wow!

 

It doesn't matter how nice the paint is it'll never look as good as it does in bare steel!! Your an artist...Keep up the good work!

 

Very Nice build, wheels should look great ( nice steering column )

Lots of long nights in Sweden eh ?

I'm looking forward to the progress.

 

Kool as ice Martin. Wanna see it in February!!!

 

Great thread Martin !

 

Some update :
Im done with the frame again and it waits to be delivered to the painshop.

Yesterday I said to my self that I can weld up the exhaust pipes during the evening
but as it always is, things sure do take more time then what I expect.
After 5 hours welding and 2 coffey breaks there is like 2/3 done.

 

Nice, I know exactly how long it takes to make such a nice job.

 

Good job M!!!

 

Just got a new little grinding device, a mini-barrel and some different grind belts.
Works perfect after the welds are gone with 80 grid.
Everyone should have this tool in the garage

 

great thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great fab work!

 

A year ago I made the front and rear bars in stainless steel but I just dont like
it so I decided to make new spreader bars that has a more original feeling that also will be painted black as the frame.

First off was to make Spreader bar spacers and welt them on the inside of the frame.

 

and some bar-treatment in tha lathe.

 

and the new flanges slides on the bar.

 

Welded. if you dont have a tig in your garage. Go buy one !!!

 

How it looks from the other side.

 

and grinded to make the painter happy .

 

This is two prototypes of the E-brake handle that will be used in the 32, it is drawn by my friend Hakan who has the model-A tudor that you might have seen in the background of some pics.
Our plan is to change the main rod to a alu-casted drilled I-beam with the same shape as the prototype.
If it works out as planed it will be for sale at Hatfield Restorations in Texas

 

Here is his Model-A, stace of the world =)

 

Some VERY talented fabrication indeed!

Rich

 

I like the blind welded spreader bar flanges! Then again, I like the E-brake mechanisms too!

 

Neat !!!

 

incredible

 

The e-brake lever is one of the cleanest, meanest looking ones i've seen. Please make a shifter in the same style and i'll buy it in no time! Awesome!!!

 

Wow! Amazing quality in your work!
