Nice!

 

WoW! You're good!

 

The steering wheel in place




Because I didn't want the break cylinder on the outside and the car is to low to mount it underneath this was the best idé I could think of.
And yes I did the disco effect on purpos haha.




The bracket is made in stainless and every joint has bearings.
The break cylinder is '39-48 ford.
A break pedal has to be at least 6:1 on an early ford. I think it's like 10:1 original but I'm not sure.

 

Very nice work indeed.
Shock mounts are pretty damn cool!

 

Nice build!

 

You do fine work!

 

Nice work! I really dig the color. I've always liked the Hallock style windshield on '28/'29s too.

 

Thanks guys, realy appreciate the comments.

 

I agree. I will have to look into those shock mounts. I like the dual use.

 

This is how the braekline is going to be.
Ones again the high of the car made it inpossible to use pipes.



Trough the wishbones



The best invention ever, to bad they stopet making them 20 years ago according to the guy who sold them to me.



Not the coolest color but thats the only color I could find, I will paint them flat black.



Much better

 

fucken killer! sooo sweet! nice work on the steering wheel!!!!

"Best invention ever".Great,just what I'm looking for!

"Stopped making them 20 years ago".Shit!

 

you rock! really love you build!
And the fact that you do all that in Europe makes it even cooler

 

I did not catch this before but don't you need to allow the brake line to flex at the rear housing? Looks to me that after a while the brake line will work-harden and fail.

I'm assuming he has a flex line near the front of the ladder bar assembly. What's pictured there all moves together as a unit.

Nice work, Demented!!!

 

My mistake then. When I look back at it, they do look like hairpin ends. Nevermine.

Neal

 

Wow how did I miss this? Beautiful.

 

nice job good ideas

 

You can still buy braided wire, maybe not the covers, but complete wire.

Every time I see a thread of a car being built in Europe, I expect extreme quality. I have not been dissapointed yet.

 

Hey Neal, this is the conection between the chassi and the ladderbars.

 

You have it covered. I just spoke without looking close enough. I do that often.

Time to make the windshield.
I started by making tamplets out of masonite, then a auto glass shop cut it out in laminate glass.



Pieces of stripes was perfect to use as shims.






The slit was filled with silicone before the glass was put in.
I used my finger to smooth out the extra silicone.



Soap water helpes to prevent the silicone to stick on youre fingers and make the surface really smooth.



When its dry I will remove the "shims" and fill the gap with a little more silicone.



The end result.

 

Ah, Sweden. Ya'll build nice hot rods, but do you ever get tired of all the blonde haired, blue eyed women? I'm thinking no.

 

Fantastic car and build thread!

 

Yeah richard, thats why we spend so much time in the garage haha.

 

Wow just looked over this whole thing, awesome build so far. cant wait to see it done. Great job.
