Re: 1929 Ford Coupe - Rusty to Solid
thanks Country!1
finished up the drivers side bracket this morning thats they dont repop then set the seat pan in transferred the rivet holes and got everything lined up there. the rivets arnt set just keeping the panel aligned . i didnt put the rear pan in because it will be much easier to work on the rear of the car with out that piece in. moving back ward to where the new subframe was once welded on . it needed some help in my opinion a few patches later and a little tig welding its looking a little better and the connection on the drivers side after got all the welds smoothed out

Re: 1929 Ford Coupe - Rusty to Solid
thanks seth !!
just another days work 28annie! but i do like taking the time to show folks what goes into bringing a car back the correct way . this was a random hole cut here where there was a body mount had to patch it before i put the subframe in the subframe was cut to close to the brace so i couldnt clean up the weld nicely. so i cut out some of the new subframe so i could achieve that and the new connection

Re: 1929 Ford Coupe - Rusty to Solid
thanks everyone!!
Vanspeed i never really use a dremel . i grind with a 36 grit 6 inch disc on an electric sander . i also use 60 grit on a 3 inch roloc and a file. 29 -make sure you are working off a frame that is level and square .ill send you a message about the connectors

Re: 1929 Ford Coupe - Rusty to Solid
did some more work on Miles coupe today
put a patch in this riser .no sense on getting a repop when only 1 tiny section was rotted out got it all smoothed out this piece in my opinion this rear panel below the decklid is the biggest pain to get out of an A after i got it out had to redrill and tap all 8 screw holes in the rear subrail

Re: 1929 Ford Coupe - Rusty to Solid
Excellent work, Flop! I am getting closer to taking my 29 apart to check just how solid it really is, so this thread is extremely helpful to me in case mine isn't as solid as it was reported.
Subscribed, and ready for your next posts!! |
