early stovebolt wood to steel

Anybody out there have pics or drawings of wood to steel body structure conversion for 29 chevy coach.or similar body? thx for any help

 

hi there..i`m working on a 28 chevy 3 window and will be replacing all the wood thats not there with metal..in the october 05 issue of street rod builder there is a good article of a guy replacing the wood in his 30..i also spend alot of time on ebay looking for pics of guys cars to...do you have any pics of your car?

 

Thanks budd , i've managed to locate a copy of that as per your info.Great pics and info.I'll try and get access to a freind's scanner to post some pics of my project. by the way,where in b.c. are you? I may have some contacts for parts ,that would be helpful to you.

 

its Lawrence and i live in the Duncan area on the island..i need to take some new pics of my project..just about ready to give it a try on my frame

 

pm me if you need any parts or contacts over here in the fraser valley. i havn't been to duncan for a few years. we used to race our TA/hydro (airtime) at lake cowichan.

 

I am interested in following your progress of your coach, as I have just purchased most of the remains of a 1928 2 door coach here in Australia. I will be picking it up in the next couple of weeks and then putting the panels into a molases bath to remove all the rust.
If any one has any dimensions of a 28 chev coach that would be handy ie the distance between the door posts at the top middle and centre from left to right and front to back. they would be much appreciated
sorry for hijacking your post

 

My car is a cut down tourer (phaetom [sp?]) so no roof, but you can see how I did the floor and A & B pillars


Cheers

I'll try to post some pics (no scanner or digi camera,bought hot rod parts instead) for everyone to see. Jimmy B thankyou for that picture. Also thanks for those pics on" hot rods as they were" thread of yours,you inspire many of the hamb with those,but especially us"lonely chevy guys".
