Trying to save a 40 Ford convertible
This is a 40 Ford convert project I picked up a couple years ago.its basically a complete car, but the original floor was rusted away.The quarters and cowl needed to be grafted to a new floor, It came with a rust free Alabama coupe floor.
1/8" formed angle reinforcements were made using remnants from the bottoms of the convert quarters for patterns.
the remnants of cowl on the coupe floor were removed and convert cowl was the grafted to the coupe floor,then the angle pcs were welded to the cowl and under the rockers to just behind the doors.
the remnants of Qrtrs attached to the coupe floor were cleaned up and the convert qrtrs were preped and grafted to the coupe floor.
the original hinges were straightened and reamed for mercury hinge pins.
the doors needed some minor repair.
I'll try and update pics as I progress
