Projects My 36 ford project. Or how to ruin a perfectly good car

Congratulations on your project and progress! It has been a blast tagging along and watching what you have done. You should be very proud.

 

Needed a seat. Even though a friend of mine had two originals he would let me have. They just were not going to workout. So a trip to the metal yard was in order. So a few sticks of one by half my trusty conduit bender and a couple of seat sliders I had in stock. This is what I came up with. It should work out perfectly. Having the ability to get behind the seat will be a wonderful improvement. I was trying to make a secret compartment underneath to hide my gun but I don't have room. I still need to make skirts for the side but that will come in the future

 

Pretty cool man ! You could put a drop box on the lower seat frame/under cushion, and just have your cushion hinge forward/pop out ... if you wanted. A quick supported plywood cut out access ... with a finger hole, and you're done. Just a thought. I have a similar setup on an off topic vehicle. You would need to move your ass for access, but it's a quickie draw if standing with a door a jar.

 

I'm making the bottom seat removable so I can access the master cylinder so I was going to sneak it in there. Not enough room on driver side. But I've got a couple of other ideas

 

Nice job on the seat!......and everything else

 

Nice work as usual.. Packing heat is mandatory to in Texas right? How bout a gun rack in the back window?

 

so since its apparent I'm not going to win tech week. I decided to do some real work instead. Finished up my seat. Not sure what to do with the finish. Might polish. Still needs the fasteners

 

Your work on this project as a whole enters you into an elite ( loosely kept in my head at least!) of hamb metal masters....! I am a55 year old slightly above the grade of hack metal man but I learn something new from you masters every time I surf the hamb.....thanks for sharing !

 

By no means would I ever say I know what I'm doing. But if you collect enough tools you can do just about anything.

 

If anyone wants to throw in a couple of extra votes for my tech week. I won't hold it against you

 

Damn man, you make everything look so freaking easy and boy do I know it's not. Very, very impressive!

I just went to vote for you on tech week but couldn't find ya. What the topic name?

 

Steampunk pipe bomb. It's a lost cause at this point. Honestly I think the manderal pipe cutter is the best one.

 

I was impressed with your seat base and then you added the beading! COOL!

 

Pretty nice tech thread on how to build a seat. That woulda got my vote.....

 

Nice work on everything, but I'm gonna steal some inspiration from the seat base!

 

Steel away. Im sure I stole it from someone else. Thanks

 

I've got that same itch and the four door to do it with...any ideas how you'd do it?

 

very very nice you make it look so easy

 

X2

 

Well the cab is easy. You just need to make the back. Then modify the rear fenders to fit a truck bed. Easy in the scheme of things. Or you could bring it to me with a large pile of money.

I'm glad that didn't keep posting every 5 minutes.. We'd think you were really jones'-in for a large pile of money!!

 

Haha...well may just have to sketch a few things out and get to cutting and shaping.

 

Don't know what happened with that. Must be my large thumbs. So I will edit them and insert some random pictures of tools. I mean really who doesn't like tools

 

Don't say it and not do it...lets see those tools!

 

I liked the tool pics! Maybe your thumbs might act up more often.

 

I vote you should polish the steelwork on your seat.....a bit like old diner seats....and I mean that in the best possible way

 

Got rained out at work today so I got started on my radiator cover
Still a bit more to do.
