Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
New top kit is going to be here tomorrow, I will post some pics of how it goes on. All the wood has been painted as per Ford. Also ordered all the windlace.

Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
Lookin good van. You mentioned something earlier in the topic about leaving the paint. Not a hateful idea, and I have a trick to share. Waterless hand cleaner. Not the gritty orange kind, the old Go-Jo type. A soft car wash brush or some old towels, mist it just a bit with water as you go to make it easier to remove. You'll even get some shine out of it.
I too had one back in Dec. All it needed was a wiring harness and a top skin. Even the wood was good. I missed it enough that I had to get another, but I got a 31. Where did you find that number in the "delivered" page pics? |

Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
Today I started in on the top. Looked at Marco's photos for reference. I like how it is coming out but my dumb ass forgot that I had no drip rails so they were ordered tonight. I totally forgot about them so I could not finish up the top like I thought I would. They will be here tomorrow so after that I can install the final hidem welt and be done. I really like how this pickup is turning out.

Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
Nice door alignment!! I looked yesterday for a number in my cab. Nope. Wondering if it's stamped elsewhere being a 31? You're gonna get a lot smiles per gallon outta that truck.

Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
These are the most recent pics I have. Top is done, I am very happy with how it turned out. Motor is in and old is out. I have had it running and drove it in the yard but it is nowhere near road ready. Brakes work good. I hope to have my wife drive it to a show with me in my coupe and my pops in the 29 roadster. Long way to go.

Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
Vanspeed, that looks like a real fun project and reminds me of the pickup I used for a shop truck when I owned Classic Auto Refinisher.

Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
Who did you buy your gutters from??? Can I see a close up on them installed. I am also curious how you finished the back side.

Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
I am not happy with the gutters but they will work for now. They were from snyders but they are straight and the top is curved, I had to bend them as I went and they went on but now the inserts will not go in. Pain in the but. I would try to find good originals first if I was doing it again.

Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
That paint looks great. I hope you keep it just like that. Wheels too. I've done a couple cars where I just did mechanicals and upholstery and left the exterior as I found it. Those cars always got the most looks.

Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
Yeah no plans to paint the old girl. I like it just the way it is.

Re: A few 1929 CCPU questions
Thanks guys for the kind words. I am naturally a hot rodder but when it comes to clean A's, I respect them. This one was just begging to be put back on the road and I think I do a fair job, I try to use original parts whenever possible. I am going to put a stock interior in it next in addition to installing the light harness and getting it road ready.
