Hot Rods A new project - 1941 Ford Shop Truck

I bought a plate on Ebay....

 

After a little bending, stripping, sanding, and painting...

 

[emoji106] I have 40 plates for my coupe and have been keeping an eye out for 41 Indiana for my truck.

YEAH boy.... have fun while your young !

 

I'm doing tung oil on the bed wood.

It takes a month to cure, so I'm getting a head start...

 

I wasn't looking forward to working on the rear fenders.

They are ROUGH.

But, I am determined to fix them.

Driver side..



Passenger side...

Looks like your getting them fixed. After a little grinding and some blasting, you can bolt them on and straighten them out. Good job.

 

Nice work. Going to run a spare with the fender dimple or no?

 

That's the plan, hammer/dolly, maybe some shrinking disc.

 

Yeah, I think so.

The carrier is in nice shape, why not.

looking good I recommend a stand to hold the shape while you work on them my fenders were rough before we started on them getting hard to tell now.

 

delighted with how mine turned out persevere took a few weeks start to finish

 

I would like to see a pic of your fender jig you have there

 

you got it,3/4 ply and 4x2.large hole to get the dolly through
mounted them with wood screws and body washers.all repairs were done on the stands,welding filling,sanding etc.made them a comfortable height to work on sitting on a stool but put the stand on a table as well.

 

Rich, you know there is a rear fender brace that goes to the frame. I recommend installing that while working out the dents. The brace is reproduced if yours are missing ,as mine were.

 

Looks like the rear fenders will work out okay. Had a friend stop by yesterday, and he asked if I was going to make one out of two of the '34 fenders I have. Told him my plan was to save both sets. Your post gives me the confidence. Also appreciate the fender jig shots.

 

Looking great.....nice hot rod truck!

 

lets have a look at the 34 fenders

 

Very simple, cheap and handy. Consider it stolen. Thanks!

 

glad to help.keep the 3/4 ply centre in the width of the fender so it will be balanced when you work on it and move it about.you will need two a left and a right .good luck

 

ROUGH BUT FIXABLE

 

Rich, will you be able to use that license plate? HRP

 

KY lets you run year of make license plates if you carry your historic plate with you.

Rich

 

HIBOY!

BTW, I'm looking for good instructions on how to assemble the bed.

I don't know what to assemble first, what to weld, where to weld, etc.

Thanks,
Rich
