Features Ayala-Barris Jack Stewart 1941 Ford RESTORATION has started.

wow...

 

okay guys..i was planning to post some pictures when the frame was powdercoated.
it is time for that very soon.
i have my friend Buddy 38flattie helping me to do the right transmission. we needed to find out how to make the sideshifter ford fit the caddyflat. Pat from Wilcap is now working on the right adapter.
but the most important thing, was that i now have the full length of the engine and transmission. so that we could finnish the engine mounts.
cant wait to have the body back on the frame again.
couple of pictures
thanks for the kind words

If you're working that hard to perfect the parts of the car that won't really be seen, I can't wait to see how you do on the stuff that is in your face.
I don't think the car could be in better hands.

 

I've got an article on this car in an older Hot Rod magazine, and the person who wrote the article had no idea where the car was now. Glad to know its safe in Denmark.

 

Can you perhaps scan it.. or take a photo of the article? The we can see if we already have it int eh collection or not. And if you don't have a scanner on hand, could you let us know the magazine ***le, year and month.
Thanks

 

Nice to see things moving along.
Good work!

 

Thanks Cleatus!
Scotch Buzzard King...like Rik says please share that article..
and there has been some progress. its been a long a road to finnish the frame, but finally it is back in the shop...Back in Black..
and its a fantastic feeling, and i cant wait to start put it together. better kick Wilcap in the balls to have that adapter made soon.
the rust repair on the body starts next week!
have a great weekend

Cant wait to see more progress

 

Very nice work guys. The car couldn't have landed in better hands. Pat.

 

Palle...I think I remember reading something where you are talking about your intake manifold for the cad.What are you going to run ?

 

Hi Jeff!
i have a complete EDMUNDS set..intake and heads. but i also have Kevin's CYCLONE heads, and a Burrell intake. i havent decided yet.
i started collectings cadflat parts years ago, long before I had the car. so i now have this luxury problem ha ha. what would you guys do!?

I LOVE Edmunds manifolds and that is what I run on my cad mill.I love the look and performance and the history.I have a pretty sweet Edmunds manifold for a flathead caddy that I just discovered in a shed.I have had it for a long time and it was burried.It is made for 2x2 with a four bolt pattern just like I have on my 331.

 

Hey Palle,man you have come a long way.What energy.I can tell you have alot of love for the car.Just don't go so long without working on it,thats what coffe is for.

 

Awesome Palle!! love seeing the progress.. Mr. Stewart will be proud!!

 

I'll get it scanned sometime this weekend. It might just end up being in black in white, but I'll get it posted on this thread. The article was from right before it was sold to you. The guy had no idea where it went. I guess he's not a HAMB member.

I like your progress on it. I have no doubt that the car will look the best it ever has once you finish it. The guy in the article mentioned that while the car looked good in the pictures, it was going to need a lot of work. I had no idea that the frame looked the way it did, but you have really made it look stock. I'm very impressed.

Keep up the good work, and I'll get you that article as soon as I can.

 

Where did you buy the english wheel?

Palle, looking great ! can't wait to see it finished !

 

Frame looks really nice Palle! Thanks for the update.

 

I'm incredibly impressed with your fabrication skills. I looked at your pictures for the English wheel you made, and I can't help but wonder as to how you make your rivets look so perfect? They really are amazing!

 

I'm having trouble posting the article that I have. If you want to PM me your email, I'll send it to you and maybe you can figure out how to post it.

 

Palle!

You're doing some fantastic work here! I hope you know that! I'm very proud to know you.
Thank you for sharing, this is gold to all of us!

You're very welcome my friend. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for restoring this custom. You're doing amazing work.

 

Bringing this back up for some history lessons. Maybe someone new might see the big difference in what was done back in the day. They did things the right way. not over chopping and having everything laying on the ground looking like its broken.

 

HISTORY LESSON TIME!!

Just bring this back up incase someone might have missed it.

 

HISTORY LESSON TIME !!!!

Look these guys build cars that were CL***Y not TRASHY. Maybe for people will start building CL***Y CUSTOMS again.

 

What?

 

Time for an update Palle ...please !

 

Glad to see the great progress Palle!! I have a feeling this car is going to better than it ever was!
