I'm working on the last of the sheet metal details. Trans/ drive line tunnel, door jambs, filler panels etc. I'll be grinding for a week on this LOL

The seam in the floor was where the body was lengthened a second time. First time was before the floor was in, second time was after. So a little tig welding and it was fixed

Welding inside the car, i keep banging my welding helmet on the roof. And I am beating the crap out the paint on it. I think I may have to repaint it soon :welxome:

Nice helmet my kid brought one with a crack in the edge home from work. these helmets that auto darken are awesome for those of us that don't have good hand eye coordination. But I have a friend that tacks big fans together all day and says they aren't quite fast enough for that eyes still hurt unless uses regular helmet. Really nice job on the fab work.

Putz i think it depends on the helmet mine has increments of mili seconds .5 to blind.I weld alot at work and never been flashed with this helmet.JMO

First coats of primer went on today. Lots of sanding next week for me.

 

[eafree]

Your project is looking great. The sanding is the fun part, you go until you can feel your fingertips anymore. The you realize you don't have fingerprints anymore. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

Looking good Larry! I hope that your return trip from the Salt Flats went well. I really enjoyed the time we spent together there. All three of us old guys made the 130 Club.

Jim, it was good to see you and your wife again. And nice to meet the whole group. Congrats on everyone getting thier time in. So are you coming back next year to go run on the big course ?
Drive home was OK, long and boring. 7 hrs. Normally I would complain, but with how far you guys drove to get there, it just wouldnt be right.

Its a real steel 1924 ford. I bought it off ebay for a couple hundred dollars. It's been chopped 9", lencthened 8", front widend 1.5", back narrowed 4". Roof filled, back window cut out larger, new body lines added, door openings reshaped... A lot of metal work... New progress pics will come next week. Seat is built (and will install later today), brake pedal, master cylinder mounting and steering are all planned for the upcoming week.
You can see the progress at 1924 C Cab project pictures from cars photos on webshots
