The one with the barbed wire is a joke , right. Surely , no one would do that on purpose...
Headlights recessed. Tacked in place. A lot of work to do to flow the fender into the ring. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I bet that old spirit is thrilled to be back on the road.
Nice looking ride.
Here is a photoshop rendering of the grille if I stay on the path that I am on. The headlight photoshop is not very good since all I did was color...
Good stuff. Love this real history.
I’m not using the Plymouth grille anymore. Decided that was not the way I wanted to go a while ago. I fabbed up a modified original grille bar...
I’m building my first custom, a ‘48 Ford convertible. I drive a couple of mild customs , but this is my first all in custom build. Chopped...
Started messing around with the headlights. Just getting ideas. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Worked on finessing the radiused edges of the trunk lid. I used 1/8” rod to make a smooth radius in all 4 corners. Looks much better. [ATTACH]...
It’s great to see an event like this in the Midwest.
just realized this is you. Great meeting you! I really liked your T.

I got the drivers side gutter tacked in. Final weld and finish work remains on both sides. So glad I decided to redo what I did a few days ago....
Thanks for the pic see. Haven’t been to that one in 10yrs or so. How big is the show portion now?
This is great news for our sport and for US manufacturing.
I absolutely hated it after I saw the picture, I don’t know what I was thinking. That’s what I like about metal work, cut it out if you don’t...
I didn’t like the way this turned out. It bothered me ever since I posted the above photos, so I cut some of it out and made a gutter. Not done...
Pics from today. This is what I started with, picking up from where I left off when I radiused the corners. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I agree. But I was at a show last weekend. 1/2 the 46-48 fords were done this way, almost as common as a bellybutton.
A little more work on the car today. But didn’t take any pictures. Rear fenders are ready to be stripped/blasted. Working on radiusing the body...
