Projects My 36 ford project. Or how to ruin a perfectly good car

Time well spent.

 

I just picked this thread up, and all I have to say is Anderson, Mr Locker did not waste any of his time on you brother, you have some mad fab skills on the sheet metal! Keep up the great work, it's looking great.

 

Awsome work indeed..!!!!

 

Great job on the cover!

 

made new mounts for the floor with probably the worst tig welds ever. Turns out welding wile laying on your stomach is quite difficult.

 

That'll buff right out. Looks good to me. Carry on!

 

Thanks for showing us regardless! Just to prove everything you do isn't perfect! hahaha

 

Stuff happens, but it seems not that often with you. Keep grinding man, maybe the weld too.

 

I like what you are doing and it motivates me to get going on my 48 Plymouth! Please keep posting !

 

Getting close. Today's project is to clean my garage

 

sealed and painted the underside. Made new mounting pads and
Putting the body back on permanently.

 

Nice! And you can see the floor maybe even follow the five second rule if you dropped your sammich while your admiring those sexy lines......

 

Despite being a holiday, sleeping in late,a massive thunder storm, tornados, flooding,being without power for four hours and a small nap. I did manage to get my floor sealed and primed. Got the body mounted permanent.

 

Slacker....

 

A nap? Now you're acting like an old man!

 

Looking great...., man not much left of what you started with!

 

True. The body is Probably only 30% of the original metal

 

With the weather down there you might not want to bolt it to the frame just yet. Maybe need to use it as a motor boat. They don't have weather like that in long beach.

 

No kidding the rain in California compares nothing to Texas. Yesterday we had 6 to 11 inches of rain in six hours. 11 tornadoes and something Like 12,000 lightning strikes. In the seven years I've lived here this is not the worst I've seen. One year we had 15 inches of rain in 12 hours. Luckily I live on a hill so at least were safe from flooding. The amazing thing is the people in Texas are not even phased by it. A light mist in longbeach and the whole world go's into panic mode.

 

Got to play a little mock up today for inspiration.
Just about time to start block sanding.
Opinion. Do you think I should chop the windshield another inch and a half?. I can't decide it's already pretty small.

 

It's hard to believe this was a two door sedan. Imagine how cool it would be if I actually knew what I was doing

 

I wish I knew so little!!! beautiful

 

both well said....

 

Looks plenty low....maybe mask the top to double check but I think it's perfect.

 

Don't chop the windscreen anymore, if you do it will be out of balance with the body height. Right now it has the ideal custom roadster look. You have done an amazing job on your recreation.
Best regards and good luck with all your endeavors, KB.

 

Chopiit!! (but i like em low)

 

So I dug out my running boards and mounted them. Not in horrible shape. But definitely in need of some love. Need to be blasted and recovered. Might just be Easier to make new ones. Rubber or no rubber?

 

Rubber

 

Rubber

 

Rubber baby buggy bumpers. Say it out loud ten times. I think you'll figure it out, without us tongue tied yahoos holding you up. You're the king !
