Projects Rusty 47 Ford Reserection

Thanks I was looking at yours last night that car has a killer profile ! And thats some nice metalwork on the rear fenders !

 

I tried sewing a patch on a pair of pants in high school.....the scissors ended up stuck in the wall through a Jimi Hendrix poster I dont think I am safe with a needle and thread!

 

hahahahahhahahhaahahh
Thanks. I needed a good laugh!

Edit: Hey, wait minute!!! There's your problem... I've never seen anyone sew using scissors.
Sheesh

 

Looking good Steve!

 

Haha...well, if its any consolation...I doubt it was the first needle Jimi ever felt!

fitzee's doing his interior in hand kneaded Moose skins tied with Caribou sinew.
Don't tell him I told you...

 

I am digging your new avatar

 

Thanks for the kind words koolkemp! Love your work. Great build!

 

Thanks man..
Couldn't have it this far without you!

 

Awesome job

 

Nive to see the roof line again. You been at the lower side now for awhile.Good to see the bottom of the doors done.

Don`t know how to sew!! What do you think you doing with this car?? Knitting it back togeather!!! And you thought you couldn`t sew.lol

 

looks like the guys with my two favorite threads just meet
keep up the good work it is inspirational, make me less likely to worry about making a major rust repair and just say "why not try it".

Over the past two days I have read the whole of this thread and I can sum it up in one word .. AWESOME.

You are an inspiration to lots of people, those who have the expertise and the ones like me who have no bodywork experience at all, I have already told my wife that I was going to take a welding/fabrication evening class.

I can only wait with baited breath for the next enstalment.

 

new to this site,but every time i log in seems like i am going to be AMAZED even more cause of threads like yours, i didnt know i coud subscribed so as soon as i found out i did,
you SIR is just inspirable(dont know if is a word) to say the least,keep up the good work!!

RUST?? after seeing your work, i doubt that should be even considered a word...

 

Thanks guys !If you want something bad enough you will find a way to try and accomplish it if you are intimidated by bodywork a project like this is a great way to get over that! I wont be back at it till the weekend, I am about 1,500 miles from home on coarse this week, but I visited with an old friend last night and hes taking me on a garage crawl tonight ,nothing but kustoms...of coarse I forgot the camera !

 

In drowning school this week, saw a 60s cougar and an elderado today. Can't wait to see your progress in person. Later

 

You gotta go to school to learn how to drown? Wow... I learn something every day.

 

A bit of meaning change with interpretation aye.. lol

 

Steve,
Do you think you are going to be on the road this year?

Whoa. I take it you're a pilot? I think back in Virginia we called it Gityerassoutatheplane school.
Sorry Steve, back on topic.

 

I hope so ...depends on how the money holds out lol! If it ever warms up I will be able to get a little more time in. I would love to have it mobile for Moncton but Chads show is a more realistic goal!

 

Has Chad set a date for his show yet for this year? I'd like to try and get out to it this year

 

Just read whole thread. All I can say is wow and keep up the great work.

 

It should be the 3rd weekend in August same as last year dont miss it!

 

great work this is fun to see over the 50 pages

 

Ab-so-lute-ly Amazing.................Wait 'til I SHOW me Friends!! What CAN BE
Done, If'n You really Want To.

Thanks For the Thread.

Smokin' "In tha' SMOKIES!

 

Haha it might be another 50 by the time its finished I should have a few updated pics up tonight.

 

Okay---when is it you are going to find a remnant of a 46 Ford convertible??? Reread the entire thread this a.m.---now I need a nap. My pancakes got cold, BTW. Great job---Marty

 

Simply amazing. I got tired just blazing through the post. I'm in awe of your talent and perseverance. Seems like it would have been almost easier to start with new sheet steel and build it from scratch. At my age I would never attempt to start something like this. I'd be dead before it was done, but I am going to try doing some simple sheet metal work on some of my stuff. Once again just amazing. Good luck with the rest of your work, and if your not using at least a dust mask working with all those cutting and grinding abrasives, please do. Mike
