Customs 35 Ford 3-window build

Great progress wish I had time to work on mine just trying to make a living doing the customer stuff.

 

I am going to finish the top now. I want the door fitting properly and swinging right before i ever cut the top

 

Dude, wish you were welding all my patches! Your work is amazing.

 

I've been silently watching this thread but I simply cannot take it any more. You're work is stunning dude. You are transforming this car into a thing of beauty and I'm just in awe of your work. Incredible.

 

Good answer!!

Get your camera back??

 

Awesome, clean work, subscribed!

 

Great progress and exelant work. By the way the patch you made for me below my deck lid worked great. Thanks. keep up the great work.

 

Enjoyed seeing this car in person and meeting you. You do great work...best of luck!!

 

Hell no not yet 2-3 weeks has come and gone but still no camera

 

It was great to meet you too. Thanks for the complement. Hopefully see you at Watertown's run this year

 

Good to hear glad I could help you out. I just thought of that patch the other day and was wondering if it worked

 

You do some good work...a 35/36 is on my to do list. I have a front axle and wishbones from a 36, just looking for the rest of the car now

 

Should look great with the replacement door. Can't wait to see it with all the body patches done.

 

amazing build and craftsmanship! Keep up the great job....and updates!

 

Last night I pick and filed the upper skin from the 3-window door. Tonight I welded the inner frame together. I then twisted and tweaked the door to get the front gap close. I then shimmed the cowl to get the beltlines to line up close in the rear. I then plasma cut the top of both doors off. I ground the edges to where I wanted them. I cleaned up the rust on the inner and outer. I then put a heavy coat of paint on them. I then tacked the 2 together. I will weld it up tomorrow night

 

go go go go go

 

Looking real good, nice work.....Jim

 

tonight i welded the door top on. I TIG welded it from the inside. I also folded the hemmed edge over on the top of the door

 

you go son, looking real good, subscribed.

Very nice repair, you would never know it was welded together....Jim

 

Outstanding job on that skin splice! I had thought you were pretty brave cutting it right on the style line, but that worked great tigging it from the back side...nicely done.

 

Awsome work as usual. Add the inner skin and lower patch and it will look like a whole new door.

 

Last night I replaced part of the upper door that I wasnt happy with.

 

Today I realized that the back edge of the door had a different curve from the quarter. Uppon inspection we realized that the inner fram had a different curve than the 3-window did. I cut that piece out and replaced it with the original from the 3-window. I also got the lower door patch welded on. I will finish straightening the skin tomorrow.

 

Really nice work on all the repairs....Jim

 

Today I pick and filed the whole door skin. I repaired the bottom foot on the door frame. I painted the backside of the door skin with POR. I started to repair the inner panel.

 

Super, super nice, door looks just great....Jim

 

Go man go!

 

Love it!!

 

Young man, you are a craftsman and there are not many left anymore.
