So how many Woody owners are on the HAMB?

john walker, I have dug your cad project since i first seen it. Before seeing your project I always thought a caddy would made a cool woodie, yours just proves it. Even better that you are also in Seattle area like I am so I can see it once its on the road.. (if you ever open your garage to other hotrodders let me know I would love to come see your woodies, not enough of us in this area..

Mazdaslam, i am going to start messing with it again this winter.. its been in storage in Northern California for the past two years while I saved some money and built a garage. that is just about done and will allow me to dig into it.

de Kuijer, cool wagon, I have a 62 and would love to find a wood kit for it.(even a fiberglass one like yours would work)

 

maybe an idiot but killer car

 

lets see if I can get his picture to come up

 

I haven't started mine yet but hope to start the frame this winter. I have all the basic pieces to assemble my phantom woodie. The other cars here are very inspiring and pieces of woodworking art thanks for the kick in the ass to get mine on its way. Rob.

 

Another of my many projects. Someday....

 

Hey John,

Kent Bash here from Rod & Kulture Magazine. We are working on an article about Woodies and would like to run a photo of your project car in the article if possible.

You can contact me at: kentbash@earthlink.net

Thanks.

That is so cool!

 

Here are a few pictures of my brothers car. It`s a `36 Ford, the body is made of birds eye maple. He has put over 10,00 miles on it since he completed it. We also made a teardrop trailer to go with it, for more pictures, check out our website.http://mccainautomotive.com/Thewoodie.htm or http://mccainautomotive.com/

 

Here is mine when I drug it home. No wood yet but will have it on the floor soon.

 

Keep em coming


Has anyone done there own wood for the 49-51 model Fords and Mercs?

 

Here's mine. I found it in a barn in the Santa Cruz mountains about 16 years ago.

 

havent yet.. but I know how..

front door leading edge is a laminated piece.. you have to create a form the shape of the trailing edge of the front fender.. and glue up a big wide piece once you get it to shape(to match the fender profile) you have to cut the shape of this lamination to match the curve of the rear edge of the fender.

not rocket science.. but tough to get exact..

ANd materials.. you gotta use the correct glue.. otherwise moisture will cause the laminations to separate.

I've seen A LOT of BAD wood.

many sins can be overlooked by the mystique of the wood itself..

 

Jeff what glue should one use?

 

we own a 38 international D2 that we have driven 64,000 miles in the last 12 years.

 

My old '47 Ford , now owned by Jeff Peterson , Slo Poks CC Vancouver Wa......

 

Wow this is a sweet Woody.

 

This one count?

 

Hey Weasel,

I'm writing an article on woodies & wood cars, I would like to include a photo of your Willy's Woodie project. If possible, contact me at: kentbash@earthlink.net

Thanks.

PS, this bottom photo would be perfect.

 

Titebond III is the glue that I used its designed for waterproof seams on laminated wood, if you're thinking about doing your own wood check out Old Woodies.com and the National Woodie Club sites they have books available that can really help I lent all of my books to a member in our club but there is one that I'll get the name of and pm you on.That will help more than any thing out there.

 

Plywude, thanks I really appreciate it alot. I am going to try and get as much as possible as well as make what I can.

 

I'm in here's my '37 Ford.

 

Thank you...

 

my dads 38 IH woody

I was thinking and thought I "Wood" ask here why don't we start a HAMB woody club. So who is in?
