Projects Rusty 47 Ford Reserection

I even got it moved to the other side of the shop

 

Thanks me too! The 51 should finally be paid for and gone by the end of this week and I am on holidays next week and hope to get in a full weeks work on the car...my back permitting that is ! I have a few more pics on the computer at home that I will try and add later tonight.

 

Looking good!! This car is gonna be so amazing when you're done. hard to believe what you started with to where it is now.

 

Agree! Great work!

 

Good to see you back at it...

 

Way to go. Big ass shop!

 

Nice
Can you find phosphoric acid easily in Nova Scotia ?
It seems we can t here, unless dealing in huge quantity with a chemical plant.

 

I havent seen it for a while, this stuff was driveway cleaner that was discontinued at Walmart about 4 yrs or so ago...I bought everything on the shelf still got a couple of jugs left then I think the only thing I will be able to use is autobody metal prep wich is damn expensive...

I decided to do a bit of body work over the patched/welded areas on the doors before I epoxied them , I will skim coat the entire skin later and block it smooth..











Sorry for the crappy i phone pics it was convenient lol, I picked up an aluminum rad for a Chevy II a couple of months back for only $50 knowing it wouldnt fit in this car, but after some careful trimming of the brackets I actually got it in there , had to tilt it a wee bit and will need an electric fan but its in and should cool a stock 305, its a BeCool brand ,the only high $ aftermarket part I have so far

 

Forgot the last pic ! I may throw one door and the hood back on for a couple of pics before she starts to come apart I hope to have the front clip off and blasted next week maybe get the mock up motor trans out and start on the cowl...

 

Atta Boy!

 

looks great Steve

 

Gonna be one smooth custom when it's done, loving the new updates.

 

Nice Steve, Nice!

 

Maybe its too late but have you thought about bringing in the bumpers closer to the body?

 

Those shapes are quite perfects ..

ALRIGHT! Glad to see you back at the coupe. Very nice work too. Hope your back holds up while we watch you do your magic.

Looking very Kool ..Kemp!

Thanks guys ! I hope to get some good progress on it over about the next week, goin to PEI next fri to pick up some junk for the someday 36 Ford project....assuming buddy shows up with the balance of the money for the 51 Chev...

 

Had computer problems for a week, so I'm just getting caught up. Nice work on everything and glad your back on the 47....Jim

 

Thanks Jim! Your sons three window thread has been a great inspiration to me to get back to looking for 35-6 junk for my someday homemade 3 window project ....that project should make this car a warm up act lol!

 

"Easy as cake." "Piece o' pie."... All the luck, Steve.

 

I actually moved them out some and down from stock To me it makes the car look lower and longer, I am kinda weird I guess when it comes to bumpers being moved closer to the body doesnt do it for me very often...I prefer the look of a nicely molded pan , but then again I seem to enjoy doing excess bodywork

 

Thanks guys I am hoping to get some decent progress done next week.

Get your mind out of the gutter Nali

Having eaten too much cake & pie in my life it kinda slows me down now haha, if it hurts too much I just have to do shorter shifts right ?

 

Looks good man! Nice flow to the back end.

 

I hear ya, saw a couple of nicely molded pans in Waikiki last week, oh wait, we're talking cars...

 

Nice to see some progress with this project,looks good!

 

Lookin good with that paint slapped on there!
That prep work looks tedious.

glad to see your back at it and to have some pictures of the progress. hope your back holds up and you get a lot done while off work.

 

You are one patient guy! I admire your skills and it looks like you're working with minimal tools. To me, that's what hot-rodding is all about. Great work and I'm subscribing.

My Buick is calling me but I have to much to get done before winter it will have to wait . Later , Andy...

 

Hey Steve I just got word that all the Photoshop files on my damaged flash drive were recovered, including your car. Big relief! Anyway if you need any more work done just let me know. Eli
