Projects 31 a sedan

Looking good! Btw. whats the benefit of cutting rear pillar this way versus straight line cut? I chopped mine with one horizontal pass and had no probs that way either. Although few vertical reliefs were necessary. Can't wait to see this finished.

 

Looks good so far! Love to see the 289! Subscribed!

 

It's just the way I have been reading about, from what I understood, keeping you cuts close to body lines helps with reducing warpage.

 

Hey Matt, I couldn't send pictures in a PM. But these are the relief cuts you need to do in the rear roof area.
If you look close you can see the weld where the cut is.

 

Thanks that helps me a bunch.

 

If you notice the 3-4" horizontal cut on top. When you get the vertical cut tacked up the top corner will seem to have a point or too much crown. Cut the smaller line on top and hammer and dolly it down to get a better crown.

 

Everything is starting to go back together pretty good so far.... I hope that's not a bad thing later..

 

No worries you are doing great job

Few more things done

 

Also I have a body wood kit with fastners Nib, from fordwood. I like to order stuff for no reason it seems like. If anybody is interested.

 

love your build so far I have a 30 model a im doing right now as well. i keep coming back and checking out your pics i just love how it all flows keep up the great work hope mine turns out as nice

 

Nice work. I really like the direction you are headed.

 

Its ready for another day of work. Hoping to finish welding the door tops on, and give all the welds a once over with the grinder. Pretty sure I made up my mind on the color, going with a powder blue, white interior, white firewall and white motor. White 40 x 70 ragtop is on its way.

 

Got the bottom of the floor structure all welded up. Starting to put in very small patches, rolling along. Top has arrived, that's the next big brain scratcher.

 

Can't wait to see that top setup you got.

 

Little more progress

 

Transmission tunnel, driveshaft tunnel, and firewall recess all done

 

Waiting on the gas tank to finish the floor. Hopefully be starting bodywork in a few weeks.

 

Car looks great. HRP

 

Had a tank built at boyd welding. They done a great job. Car is back home now and I will be starting the ragtop this week. Had to do a little work on the side. I.e. brown thing. Running low on funds

 

Forgot to add this picture to previous post

 

Great now 2 pictures

 

I can see them.

 

Floor is 95% done, replaced side wood with steel, replaced top rails and header. Starting roof

 

Wow, car looks great. Your hauling ass on this thing.

 

Things will be slowing if not stalling. I'm a seasonal worker, and back to work Monday.

 

just checking in cant wait to see this finished
