Thanks!

 

Thanks Malcolm!

 

Thanks!

 

There is quite a difference between the two. Mine is definitely the smaller style.

 

Just about got the table done...need to add a few braces and weld the top on then I'm calling it done!

Nice!
I especially like the stuff on the storage rack!

 

I lìke the way you did your chop on the back very little finish work to get it perfect

 

Thanks! It worked out slick. I've done this style of chop on a 32 & 34 five window as well. Highly recommend it.

 

Me Too

 

Well if i had a top mine is now a tub

 

Me Too.........

 

I was wondering where I had missplaced that stuff

BTW the Top Is Perfect on your work bench Ol Deuce

 

Its officially a tank... I think it weighs close to 700 pounds

 

So my wife and I decided we are going to go to the Lone Star Roundup...in a hot rod. We have never been to Texas...and she has never taken a road trip in a hotrod before. Needless to say, I need to finish up some details on the fordor so that we can have an enjoyable drive down. I have a list of things that need to be done but its a reasonable list. One of the main deciding factors on driving the hotrod down was getting the E-brake parts. Chris hooked me up with a pair lincoln rear brakes with all the e-brake parts! Which means I don't have to spend hours and hours fabricating them!!! The e-brake parts was the last must have pieces that I need to complete the build. Just need to put the pieces together. In order to put things together in a timely manner, I decided the body needs to come off so I have access to everything on the frame. Last night took me about 3 hours to dis***emble the body to get it ready to lift off. Tonight the body comes off and the fun begins!

where'd you get those wheel plates to fit wires on the drums?...$$$?

 

Thanks for the info! Good to know.

 

I think I got them from Sacramento Vintage ford or Speedway? They were $20-25 each i believe. Seem to work nicely.

 

When you cut the back window like that for a chop, do you make the vertical cuts at a slight angle so that the gap from where you made the cut closes up as the top comes down?

 

Those brakes came THIS close to going on my 41 convertible! Better usage on your car

 

Yeah. Keeps the gaps good and tight.

 

Oh uh... I better dig the rest of those brakes outta the s**** pile...

 

Thanks.

Love the way this car is turning out!

 

Thanks!

 

Last night was successful. Everything came apart nicely and the fordor is ready to get its exhaust finished.

Looking like progress is being made, Keep up the Good work! Ol Deuce

 

Its slowly getting there. Drivers side exhaust is run...need to do some finish welding and make two hangers...then on to p***enger side.

 

Here is a few pics of the progress. It's amazing how much time it takes to build an exhaust system...
