Hot Rods Been building away on the 32 Fordor

You should! Fordors are fun. Thanks by the way.

 

My wife and I are pretty much settled in now so I have been able to get back to work on the "parts car". Will post a few pics this weekend.

 

WAY further along and looks better than mine, and I have 2 LESS doors I have to screw around with. Congrats!!

 

Thanks!

 

So tail light rings have been a huge hold up. I was going to use 34 ford rings and lens, but the fit and finish of the original mopar ring is super nice...and it simply bolts on to the bucket. I had one ring and needed a second which I finally found! The lens work really nice and bright which is a plus and the shape matches the headlights.

Happy Holidays everyone!

what year and model are the taillights?

 

37-38 plymouth...I think. Maybe dodge too??

 

I like everything about it!!!!! Great Christmas Picture!

I have 39 Chevy tail lights which are similar however they have flatspots on the sides.

 

Thanks! My wife insisted that we use the Fordor in this years pic. It was fun getting it out in the snow.

 

I messed with the photo a little,, HRP

 

You beat me to it... Thanks HRP!

 

Great pic!

 

Thanks Chris! Can't wait to see yours!

 

Good looking family, and car.

 

I Love the Picture...........WOW.....Ol Deuce

 

Thanks VonKool13!

 

Thanks Dad!

 

In all honesty I can't stand the "Happy Holidays" thing.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

 

So I have been side tracked these last few weeks... I decided it was time to build a welding table and get my own welder. Both of which I need desperately if I'm going to make any more progress on the fordor.
Here is my pile of steel...

Lets see the finished table.You need one.I'll have my roadster body back soon.I think I'll slip over one of these days and see you.

 

Hi Bob! Its not finished yet...Its getting there though. Its looking like something! I will take some pics tonight. I haven't purchased the top plate yet... I was originally going to use 1/4" plate, but noticed my friend's table flex...so now I'm thinking 1/2" top. Anybody have any input. 1/2" is way more pricy but I think it will be better in the long run.

 

Like your build. I built a table using 3/8 . It is 4'x 6' with 2x2 heavy wall tubing set in 2" around the parimeter No flex.

 

Thanks! Good to know. Mine is going to be 72x40.

 

My friend has a small collection of these. The lenses and rings are the same, but the buckets are different lengths. I forget which is which, but one is almost twice as long as the other.

 

Does your friend have any extra lens clips???

 

Got some more progress on the table. It rolls! All the bottom welds are done. Need to do alittle more welding on the top side...get the table top... and it will be finished!
