Projects Swedish 34 Ford Fordor

I have made templates for the windows glass, I make them of I think you call it plaster or drywall, we have a stronger version about a 1/4" thick, easy to form and strong enough.

 

6mm MDF,meddite makes great templates .cuts easy sands well,however the dust isnt that good for the lungs,give it a go!

 

The last weeks I have been making interior panels, I make them from what we call masonite about 3mm thick. I have also filled the engine wtih oil and primered the oil system. Intalled the distributor and made the spark plug wires.

 

I had those valve covers on my SBC Willys, really classy looking.

I have been working on the car for the last weeks but a little bit slow, to much else to do but some parts have been done to the interior. Have also made a rubber cover where the hoodsides will rest when the hood is opened.

 

what you have been using looks like what we call mdf. Different names for the same product in different countries.
Drywall, I believe is the same as what we call Gib board, which is half an inch of (gypsum) plaster with a sheet of paper on each side….

 

Here are pics of my old '33 tudor hea dliner.A kit I bought(from USA 2016) and installed here in France.Hope this can help.

 

My window templates are not made of mdf. They are made of what you call Gib board they are normally just under half an inch thick but we also have a quarter of an inch thick version that is stronger and you can bend it a little thats the one I have usel.

 

Thanks for the pics beutiful car and it helps, nice to see how it should look.

 

Car looks great, and has come a long way from that first post last year !

 

Thanks!

 

I have cut the AC and heater hoses and test fitted them and checked how to route them inside the car.
The interior is slowly coming on I have covered the first panel with leather, the color is called Roasted Red Pepper its a little bit darker than it looks on the pic.

 

I have found a new lower radiator hose from my local Cadillac parts dealer. Its for a 1961 Caddy it fits really good part no Gates 20516 if anyone would like to know. Had to make a small notch in my Hurst engine mount. Have also fitted my new hornbutton.

 

Thanks for the part number; that always helps. Looks like it will work good with side mounts on engine.

 

exactly thanks for the #.valuable info for those outside of the US

 

Slow progress but I have made some parts made my own scuff plates that will be powder coated and a cover for the evaporator, not finished yet.

 

i have found a small amount of white spirits on a cloth will remove the white print from the msd plug leads

 

Merry Christmas to all of you. The 34 is at the paintshop and I am working on the interior. The door panels are done and the back seat is almost finished I just want install it in the car to make sure that the stitching lines up.

 

Nice work on the upholstery!
Merry Christmas to you.

 

Thank you

 

Been working on the front seat its done except for the back of the seat and and a cover below the seat.

 

Just got all caught up on posts since May or so. Car is looking great! Can’t wait to see it when it gets back from the painter.

 

Meetoo

 

I have made the cover under the front seat and covered with leather, it also a place for the stereo.

 

Finally painted with Porsche slate gray and a dark red stripe

What a well done car, nice work.

 

The final assembly always fun but a little bit scary with the new paint.
