  1. You are determined to make it work, starting with rusty, crusty sheet metal. Good for you.

    I love shit like this, I'm surprised I haven't seen it until now. Love it so far, looking forward to seeing more.

  7. Some more progress . First few pictures are of the quarter panel tie in along with the front part of wheel arch . Hard to tell what you’re looking at I know but look long enough you’ll figure it out LOL Next pics are of the rear bulkhead framework . I installed the rear parcel shelf , welded in the main centre section of the bulkhead and temporarily installed the left and right panels . Have a look !

  8. So here I am in the thick of it now . This rear right fender must be off a 37-40 ford as it don’t fit for s**t . Very fast arc to the profile . So cut,cut,cut it all apart and stitch it all back together .

    built a wire form buck on fender and wheeled up new panels to better fit the wheel . Coming along nicely !

    I agree. This sort of thing is the main reason I'm on here every day.

    My favorite type of HAMB build as well. Don't know how I previously missed it! Lookin good. I'll look forward to following along.
    Your gut determination is admirable. You're making good use of that long Canadian Winter. Any idea how many hours you have into it?
