Hot Rods Late 31 Ford Truck CHOP & CHANNEL !

thanks Mark!

i would have never thought there would be so many curves in such a tiny panel









gettin somewhere now!

 

Like a boss!!

 

awesome work as always flop!! im one of your 5 followers on youtube.. any chance you will put up some videos of your work anytime soon...im sure there will be more than us 5 not long after!! keep up the great work.. john

 

It's not chopped yet .....

 

Love it cant wait to see it with fenders. Thats how an A truck should be.

 

Looking good. What are your plans for drive train? I have to get my going too. I have a late '31 also. Mike

 

I'm not sure yet. I'm leaning towards another flathead or the 241 red ram that came out of my 34 Tudor. But I also want to get it on the road this spring/summer so I might install the dreaded 350 I have sitting rebuilt in the stand

 

Super posting, as most I have subscribed. I have to commend you on your attention to detail. You are thinking out the small details and things that will overall make this build EVEN nicer.

Smart moves in replacing panels, and very good job in doing so. Nice fabrication and thought with making things you dont have, in regards to the rear cab braces.

Joy to look at.

 

as always THANKS IAN!!

thanks John! not much has changed.. i will probably make a time lapse of the chop on this truck as well as a coupe chop .

Great work as always!

 

Dr. The Patient is ready!!

first time with the roof on .





the new view



my buddy chris seeing how the fit is



the back



side profile



and the front



you ask why the ratchet straps everywhere? the important wood is missing!!

 

I think the ratchet strap says it all, and I really think that extra 1/8 inch made it. every one has a 2 in chop, not me, I have a 2 1/8!!hhah

 

Flop, Did you weld the back panel from the inside? At least that what it looks like?
It's looking dam good with the 2 1/8 Chop

 

This was a lot of fun.
