Just another A-Sedan Build....Progress pics

I got a few things done on the Sedan this weekend.

The Body mounts are tacked to the frame and the the Body is bolted in place.

Rear


Sides


The Cowl support's not bolted yet.

 

Cut the firewall and mocked up the Engine & Trans.

 

Trans crossmember, rubber and trans mounted.

 

Last ones for this weekend.
Engine mounts.

 

nice work keep them coming
i just piched up mt 28 tudor and could use the info

 

Looks good like the way the front kickup is hidden in the cowl.

 

looks great, keep postin the progress.

 

nice simple mounts.. a nail in a ford nothing better..that motor loooks familier

 

i love it. keep the pics coming, cause i'm saving em all. i'm gonna print em out, lay them out in order, hang them on my shop wall and just follow along with my sedan!!!

you may think i'm joking, but without them, and your frame dimensions and sketches, i'd still be in the dark on how to go about building my car.

thanks again!

 

how much room did you end up with between the balancer and the inside of the front cross member?

 

To make that much progress you must have painted more than one room and not spilled any paint......Good work, Keith.Your knocking that baby out in good time.

 

Vic, thats the same trans but a different engine. That engine you remember was so siezed it's good for an anchor. I'm going to try pounding out the pistons one of these days so I can save the block. That setup in the pictures is just for the build mockup . I've got a fress nailhead and "de-switchpitched" 400 to go in.

Paul your real funny. That gallon of paint pretty much came out of the carpet!!

 

god i hate engineers!!!!!!!!with your proper angles, straight cuts, ability to measure, and fabricate!!!!!!wow your cranking along it looks the balls..you know what i did this weekend????NUTHIN,,,

 

Looking good! Keep the updates coming, now I want to start the sedan project.

 

Dave, there's no crooked cut I can't fix with my welder . We'll see if it goes straight when I take it down the road!
You should have come down here and done nuthin. The fridge WAS stocked, plus you could have finished my Christmas shopping for me!

 

keith, whats the story with the paint and the rug? or maybe i should ask paul??? man that thing is looking good, maybe jim and jerry and i will take a ride down there tomorrow night (tuesday), i haven't asked them....you going to be around or out shopping? looks great buddy! mike

 

Thanks guys.
I'll keep posting as I make some progress.
Mounting the rear end and the sub-frame is next on my list.

forsakenfew - there is 11" between the harmonic balancer and the inside of the front crossmemeber. The grill, radiator and fan are still going in between there.

 

This has some good info in it. BTTT for those who missed it before...like me.

 

Just came in from working on my Sedan, Always good to see what others are doing with theres and how they are accomplishing it...

 

Nice looking work, good progress I been following along as well.

 

On your body, did you have to do much patch work? The fram pics look good, keep the progress pics coming! What type of transmission is that? Thanks

 

Boones - Hows your sedan coming?
It's about time for a progress report with some new pic's isn't it?????

 

Cool pics, LSM, I've got a question if you don't mind. On your second from the last photo, with the lift plate on the stock nailhead manifold, did you trim off the heat risers on the manifold, leaving just the runners? I'm doing that to one of my manifolds, to cut weight, eliminate heat to carb, and to give it a "spider" look. If you did, could you post some close-ups of it. Thanks.

 

This is how i wanted to do mine, but got impatient asn busted out the sawzall(love that thing!)and inded up doin a bunch of fabbing w/1x1 side rails and vertical posts and 1x2 cross rails.next one is going to be like this.great work!
