Projects Rusty 47 Ford Reserection

Glad to hear a fellow car guy is doing well. Grain Brain is another great book. Organics over GMOs. Wish more knew about it. I could go on, but this isn't the forum.

 

Feel your pain Steve, I was just really getting the hang of the old site. Glad to see you posting and that you are dong well.
Now lets get some updated pictures!

 

Posting pics is easier than ever Steve. In fact, you no longer need to upload them to a host site and link to the HAMB . . . now you can pull straight from the files on your computer.

Cool that you are fit as a fiddle! Just poke around the new format, you'll learn it faster than you think, really no different, just different buttons and icons. Once you get it, it will feel just fine.

 

Hey no probs, some progress is better than no progress. My '56 F-100 was a back yard ornament for about 12 years before I finally got in the position to get serious. Thats the cool thing about old metal; it'll still be there if a guy needs to take a break.

 

Unless that metal is poorly protected, and the "someday" never comes.

 

So I just read through this whole thing and Holy Crap!!! In a good way What you've accomplished is truly remarkable!

 

Well Steve I seen the car up here at the Nats , I think??( The poncho I mean) Haven't met yet have we ? Some day I suppose . Anyways I hope to see some pics up soon of the 47 . The Buick is on the back burner for the summer as I have a large project in the shop right now that will take me to the fall for sure . Then it will be time for the Buick again ,,, I think !! Later , Andy..

 

I have been following this from the start, and I must say that its some amazing work you have put into it!!! And when Im struggling with my rusty 37, I just take a look trough your tread, and Im back on track again Looking forward to see some new pics

 

Lets give the old "drag and drop" a try. Hey, it works! Way easier now!

 

BrerHair, thanks for that info. I haven't tried to post a Photoshop since the new format came out but its just a simple "Drag and Drop" and what better car to do it on then Koolkemps '47?

 

Any updates? Hope all is well up your way.

 

Any news?

 

Man I really enjoy watching your build, you are one of a kind for sure. I hope all is well with you. I just aquired a '46 long door coupe so it is good to see what others have done as far as chops and other modifications

 

Thanks for your response on the carb-gluten deal, any new profess on the coupe?

 

Test pic ... app is actually working for me here's a pic , I had to skim the whole skin due to surface pitting from all the years of surface rust then sand 98% of it off

Thanks for looking around! I wish I could show more progress... Hopefully this winter I will get some tedious stuff done that doesn't require too much $ ...gets hard to stay motivated some times though.

Hey Steve. Great to see you back at it.
Time, money AND motivation at the same time? The big three. That's a tall order, man.
Dash looks good.

 

Hi Steve, great to see your posts.
hope things continue to improve for you and the family

 

One thing I got done this summer was take the 36 body, on the 40's frame on the s10 frame and got it on to the tough old 39 frame I got. I tacked a rear end in , did some bracing and a few repairs , made a quicky front axle .... Then I pulled , and twisted and beat the doors into the openings and got them tacked in , and a couple of pieces of bracing . It still needs more tweaking and bracing before I can start a substructure to make it strong enough to rebuild.....,by far the worst piece of junk I've ever contemplated.... I must have a brain defect or something!

Hi Joe! I've been meaning to shoot you an email for a while.., to be honest I haven't been in much of a car mood, had to sell the truck, overdrive went couldn't afford to fix it had to sell it for peanuts after doing a bunch of work to it so I could come get Fred's Pontiac... And I I was hoping that frame , but unfortunately absolutely nothing has been working out for me when it comes to vehicles in the last year be it a project , or some shitbox I'm trying to keep on the road....

Great to hear from you too! Keep checking in , as long as you don't mind the crappy phone pics!

Steve - the phone pics are fine! It's good to have you picking away at the coupe once more. Slow and steady (if fast can't happen )!

Dave

 

The weight of all the junk I got crammed in this gem, combined with the rotten frame and broken springs had the rear tires touching the top of the tubs.... A few pieces of scrap welded in got back to where I could move it around.i want to get either this or the 51 Merc tacked onto its replacement chassis next summer...

I set my crusty Olds grille in ... Less of an eyesore...
