I finally got the pass side lower cowl rust fixed and floors finished, and got the firewall in this weekend. I'm glad now that the majority of the MAJOR metal fab is DONE!! several smaller items yet, but mainly just supports and holes to cut and holes to fill. Next is to mount the seats, then mount the under floor brake pedal****y, then finish steering. Then fit the rear doors when the new wood is finished. I broke up the gas tank at work the other day, good this because I just got laid off AGAIN! So now I will have some good build time, but little to no funds for a while. I will weld up the tank and filler etc, and get it mounted then I should be really close to pulling the body and finish/ paint chassis, engine etc, then on to body. Enjoy. Rusty.
Oh, about that, 2 other NON- car guys are doing all the automotive walk in work now, I only got to do a couple larger scale jobs that they couldn't handle. The place screwed me over and next week I was supposed to get a $500 safety bonus.***** them, I'll work out of my own shop for a while!!
Yeah screw that about the job! But the Thames is looking good Rusty! Not to hijack but do you know anybody down by you that recently picked up a drag '32 coupester?
I don't know who owns it, but I've seen it on a trailer in town, if it is the same one? This one is blue.
I really like those Fordson vans. Although i would turn it into a custom/cruiser. Still, great job your doin. y'know, ive lived in the UK a few years, there were a lot of these vans
