Projects My 1935 Ford Five Window build.

I got a few hours in today as well

 

incredible determination to save this from the junk pile...great job.

 

It’s like they say, if you want nice things but you are poor you cannot **** at being poor
You gotta learn how to make nice things.

 

What kind of shape are your rear fenders ?

 

i have a set of reeeeally rough and busted up original 35 fenders.
Might try and repair or I will have to look for a new set.

 

Good thing the -Short Shop Helper - is there to keep you… IN-LINE.

 

I have a 35 p***enger or right side rear fender. I don't know if mine is better.... I can always send you a picture if you want....

 

Yeah please do, I’ll see it i can post some pictures of mine today, will be needing to start working on them pretty soon of I’m using them

 

Nice work…

 

This part of the build is one of my favorite parts, you take something that was not much of anything and build something solid from it.

 

Made some progress lately even tho I’m most likely re-doing that door skin because I got ahead of myself when I folded the edge over and pressed the door together.

needs more stretch too to fit but since I didn’t really have anything to measure from at the start I think it will go so much faster now that I have something to measure from and compare it to.

stupid mistake, but sometimes I get excited and want to get the piece done before it’s time to head back home and I don’t really have time to think.

 

you are very lucky man to have a helper like that great project

 

Started working a mother full time job so running my business on weekends and evenings now, time is more scares so won’t make as much progress I don’t think.
But hopefully I can buy some nice parts

 

Looks like you have some good supervision.

 

I’m pretty sure i have a short pump laying around but I’m also pretty sure i got clearance for this one if I’m not running a fan.

 

OK

 

I've come to realize that for a SBC, there's no reason not to run the short pump.

 

Got some work in this week.
Almost finished with this fender and on to the next.

I took a lot of work auto get it into shape first and then make the final pieces. It was pretty bad.
Sorry for the excessive do***entation, but I’m happy with it.

 

As you can see from the photos I first did a more angular corner at the back of the wheel opening, but decided to mimic the rear corner of the front fenders instead so I re-did it.

 

Great job on the fender. No such thing as excessive do***entation.
