In all honesty, it isn't that bad of a job. If you have some basic woodworking tools, you can get it done. Maybe next time your car is due for...
I'm looking for one of those, too LOL. I've missed out on a couple not paying attention to ebay very closely like I used to. That's where I've...
Today was fairly nonproductive as my garage may as well be an oven, but I managed to get a couple things figured out. Marked where the driver door...
Made some decent progress considering the temperatures. I made a couple templates for the door reveal- seems to be different front to rear so...
I remember reading about it in the Street Rodder T bucket guide from the 1970s. I was just lucky enough that it applies to me and the body I ended...
Treading water further into the deep end with no life guard on duty…. The driver side door reveal is effed up and in the wrong location- going...
I know you're like me and spent plenty of time thinking it through. Once you start making the pieces to glue together, your brain will see the...
Latch is done: [ATTACH] [MEDIA]
I used long n’ strong fiberglass filler. After I’m done with the wood construction, I’ll seal everything up with a couple layers of fiberglass,...
I had bought doors from Cromwell, with intentions of cutting my body and using their doors. Their doors are slightly different contour at the...
I definitely did not achieve a perfect cut, but it wasn’t too bad. If I could do it again, I would do it a little differently, but it turned out...
Still a lot to do but the scary part is over for this side: [MEDIA]
Those look like Model A to me (mostly, the rear shackle link should resemble the front). I bet if you measure the spring length and width, then...
i5 will be closed this weekend just South of Portland - plan accordingly. https://www.koin.com/news/traffic/portland-i-5-closure-bridge-work-06282024/
Yeah, the reason the lower door bracing is thicker than the sides and top is to build in the door jamb at the bottom of the door, to blend into...
Update time. More or less, I came to the conclusion I needed more structure in the cowl area to be able to mount the sub dash. I couldn’t really...

In my T, I cut down some Moon brake/clutch pedals so my feet fit better, then later had the idea to take the remnant of one to make a throttle...
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Spent some time tonight getting the driver side to fit around the steering column. Overall it fits decent, but I haven’t figured out the best way...
Yesterday afternoon, I went and picked up the front suspension pieces I had re-worked to allow more shock travel. Part of the rework was I had...
More slow progress, but I got the driver side notched for the heater, as well as the upper column mount. I’m not sure yet how to notch for the...
Nicely done!
I agree it looks better like that - does the top still fold with the linkage in that location?
Slow progress today, but made some good mental progress on how I’m going to re-make the rear crossmember cover. I think I’ll have to go get more...
Tonight after work I spent some time working on the driver side sub dash. More or less, I used the patterns from the passenger side, flipped them...
Managed to get some time in on the lower dash for the passenger side. I didn’t take the best pictures of the process, but basically I referenced...
The Holley double pumper center hung float bowls - those fuel inlet fittings - those are the same thread as the side fuel inlet Rochester 2 Jet....
Tonight I needed to lay-up some more fiberglass in preparation for the lower dash construction. Now that the heater is mounted, I can build the...
Tonight I got a small project done - scuffed the lower steering column mount and stuck it to the firewall. This is another item that will get...
