Projects Lets put Coupe doors on a Sedan Delivery

^^^Dave Hill I think?

 

NICE! Clean parts and TIG welds, this is going to be fun to follow. Bob

 

nice work, more pic's please

 

Thanks for the good feedback guys. Couldn't finish Friday, had to build a grille for a Fiat going to Pebble Beach. Monday I'll be back at it.

 

What type of FIAT? Must be a good one if it is off to Pebble Beach. Bob

 

Ooops, I mean grille and insert. As to what Fiat, lame as it is, I don't know. I got the job second hand and was asked to fix/fabricate what they gave me. So I built a buck, squared the grille and made a new insert surround. Kinda fun working with br***. Never did much with it before. I ***ume it's not a million dollar car.... I think a 25-28 Fiat. Not much different than a Model A grille. Which gives me ideas for my A.

 

I'll go look into what a 25-28 FIAT looks like. Have you seen this thread on Br*** Grille work? Bob http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=637003&highlight=working+with+br***

 

Nice

 

Monday Update. Finished the Fiat grille. Finish welded the lower half, and started on the upper. Lots of cut and paste and tack in place. Ready for finish weld. I partially fit the window surround, will cut and flatten the top of the window frame tomorrow. Should have 1 side done tomorrow. Second side always (usually) (sometimes) goes quicker.

 

Dang cool grille!!!

 

Nice work. Make sure to post a nice profile pic when done!

 

there is one in portland that has been done for years. makes for a great look. I did the V-**** and one piece door gl***

 

George Poteet did a '46 Ford in the '90s...

 

subscribed. i like where this is going.

 

The slanted B-pillars from the coupe doors look great. Much nicer than a more vertical 2-door sedan door. Very nice work.

 

Drivers side done, p*** side half way. Had to remove a horrible 80's gas filler door and shrink the wavy panels first.

 

That looks fast just sitting there. Very cool.

 

Dang! .... and thumbs up on the Fiat work.

 

this is cool! Nice work, too

 

That is a good looking mod!

 

They should've come that way. It looks better than stock.

 

that looks great. huge improvement over stock.

 

I am doing the same thing to my 41 except i stretched the frame and make the p*** compartment a little bigger, used the coupe firewall, doors and the b pillar, and the roof. had another frame so i only have 1 seam in it.

 

This sounds interesting we need pics!

 

I like your thinking. well done.
