Projects 29 Model A Tudor, lots of fab from the ground up

Started with this


Building the frame with split bones


Body back on


fitting the engine in






radiator mounts












Ill be back with some serious metal shaping

 

looks like a pretty solid body to start with! good luck with the build

 

Nice work!

 

replacement panels fit like shit. Hand made now

 

Thanks guys, yeah the body was in alright shape. Some rot to fix but good lines and worthy!

 

Time for a floor and trans tunnel. Hand made. Paying homage to the old time metal workers. hand shrunk sheet metal with a tucking fork and english wheel.

Buck




Tuck shrinking and wheeling








Time to weld it up

 

I'm lovin it man!

 

Nice...

 

I'll be watching this with interest, makes me wish I was back home working on my 28.

 

Very nice build.
Are you sure you want solid radiator mounts? I'm not an expert at anything,but Henry put springs under there for a reason.

 

nice fab work, subscribed and looking forward to seeing it get built.

 

like it!!

 

Nice fab work !!
How's the Ackerman on the front end?

 

nice fab work

 

Nice work! Can't wait to see more..

 

Your work looks great! You going after rat rod type build?

 

Very nice. Just as is, doesn't need a chop. Only quibble I'd have is use of a slushbox, but that's a personal-preference thing...

Versailles rear axle? Looks like the big old fifty-pound caliper brackets.

 

Thanks for the complements guys

I have isolation mounts for the radiator, just not on there for mock up. I tend to lose loose parts, good eye

 

You got it, no chop!
Right on, on the axle only one I could find wide enough

Thanks,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
I know having the tie rod behind the spindle is ideal but it only gets a slight scrub when the steering is at full lock right or left. Won’t be driving like that at 65, just parking lots.<o></o>

Thank you
Going to be a pristine street rod no rust or Farmall parts on this one. The roof will be solid steel and will have working windows and heat and all.

 

Wow...I'll watch.

 

More updates.
shrinking and stretching














Ok, now making the actual floor pannels , with a little bead rolling





Hopefully I will beable to get some more done next week. starting to get really fun.

 

got a little more work done on the fire wall. getting the steering stuff sorted out.

 

You make it look easy...keep up the good work..

 

Looks like a great build! Going to be awsome when it's done, and you're making good progress...

One question though, did you make any sort of "ring" to go around the yoke/u-joint? If the U-joint were to fail while you were going down the road the sheet metal cover wouldn't give much protection...

 

Thank you guys

I do have a pair of drive shaft hoops that I made and yes one does shield the U joint. I'll grab a pic on the next update

 

Nice work. Thank you for showing it!

 

Nice work, looking good.

 

I'm loving the tunnel and floor work. Looks good - keep up the good work - should be cool to watch...
