Project: 29 model a (i dont have a name yet) started

Thanks! should be taking shape now. get it back from the blaster next sat. then on to the body work.

 

body sand blasted and now in epoxy

time to start getting dusty!

 

made some bracing for the visor to make sure it doesnt flop in the wind

tacked the drip rails on from the inside, then filled all the holes with panel bond

 

front axle powder coated and king pins installed

 

doing final assembly. body is in spray poly now all body work done!

 

dash in, now what to do for gauges....

 

Got this little 12v electric defrost unit. going to install under the dash

 

piped it into my dash support

and out the top

 

carved a louver into a piece of wood

hammered into the dash

 

had to make a cut in the window frame

my new vents

 

I am seeking inside rear side upper window frames, are you going to use yours, or can I purchase them from you? Anybody? 28-29 ford tudor?

 

I am using them, i might have an extra set. Im using the best ones that i have

 

starting to make the roof insert

sanded it to the contour i want, i hope

 

wiring started

 

gauges all wired up

classic instruments looking good

 

Nice work!

 

I like using the installation board, a great way to get create a visible form without spending a fortune. A shape can be made, cut, sanded, glued, modified to get the desired result. Several thickness are available at Home Depot. The draw back is the mess it creates!

 

Like those gauges!

 

yeah makes a big mess!

 

yeah i loved the gauges when i saw them. classic instruments does a nice job. a little spendy but i think they will look great in the car!

 

got a good start on the roof.


1/8 baltic birch with relief cuts ready for glue

on the form.

in the bag

in the vacuum. repeat 4 times

 

got the motor back

 

set in place

drive shaft made and in

 

radiator mounted

headlights mounted

 

floors and tunnel installed

 

made a steering column cone



getting good at gas welding

 

Nice work, this is looking sharp.

 

I know I'm 2 years to late, but what an awesome chop!
Every thing about this car is cool. I really like the chassis and the demister setup.
It will be a great driver with nice suspension and the 5 spd. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Aaron.

flattened on a press brake almost all the way

stainless bent at 90* then punched at .5 with a die and mounted on a stud to the grill

Now do i polish them or have chromed? still have to tack them all in place
