Projects 1929 Ford Roadster

I make and sell folding windshield posts for 28 29 roadsters, they're here on the HAMB in "Parts for sale"

 

Good on ya Mikko. Great acquisition and tremendous progress straight away. I like the frequent updates, plus the Model A guys around here are an invaluable resource. Also appreciate European affection for old American tin. Makes the world a smaller place; to me, a great thing.
Since it's a TX car, I'm assuming the DeMontrond badge is a dealer tag. I don't see that style of tag here in Californistan.
Cool in every aspect.
Following along!

Thanks, your car looks great.

I will check up on that, thank you.

Thanks for the kind words.
I did a google search for DeMontrond the other day and think you are right about it being a dealer tag.

Thank you.

 

DeMontrond was a dealer out of Texas City starting in 1953 and is still in business, so must have been sold used there. Interesting to think this car was likely in the area when the disaster occurred in 1947. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_disaster

 

Its funny how we have different tastes. For me splash aprons look good when left on heavily chopped coupes but not roadsters. For others its none at all, for others its on all cars. I guess my point is build it how you like Mikko, we are just happy you are sharing it with us.

 

More grinding and drilling rivets today.
Seat riser, floor pan and some other stuff is out.
Good news is that the front cross channel between sub rails is solid, the rear one not so much.
Need to figure out the best way to repair or replace it, then I'm just gonna make a new steel floor pan and weld or bolt that in between the cross channels.

 

Coming along! Not sure what shipping to Sweden would look like, but most suppliers sell a replacement floor pan that has a deep dish in it for better storage.

 

I don't know either but I'll probably make my own.
