Hey y'all, thought I'd start a little project thread. Just getting started on the body, ch***is has been boxed and stepped (Tardel step), 1in drop front crossmember swapped in, frame was twisted so ended up breaking it fully apart squaring it back up before boxing. 750 560 tire combo. US radiators shortened unit originally for a repro 32 shell I was going to cut down but came across an original 29 shell I'll be using. Working on cleaning up the body now so I can drop it down on the frame and start loading it before zapping in the ch***is components that still need welding. Spent the better part of last year either acquiring parts or working on the frame (or reorganizing my tiny shop about 20 times to make room for everything ) built the frame table to do the squaring and boxing. Pretty stoked to be at the stage of stripping rust away from the body. Nothing wild or unique just trying to put another old Ford back on the road, figured I'd start a thread now that I'm beginning to get into more of the fun stuff, looking forward to casting up some little detail oriented parts for it (air cleaner's, license plate topper/light, headlight buckets, steering wheel, pedals, shift knob etc, been 3d modeling parts to cast for it for a while, gonna be fun to finally get a few of those move to the top of my projects list and knock out.
