Excellent progress, keep it up. That T coupe looks pretty wicked in the background.

I'll bet the mah. will last a hundred times better than the original birch or what ever the panels were. I have a friend that rewooded a 25 T coupe in mah. just because he had the wood. He is a surgeon so he has the real skill in his hands.

It looks like you are busy and making good progress. Just wondering if you could take a minute or two to answer my question in post #17.

Thanks guys - it's been a long road, but finally feel like there's an end in sight on this one.

JM 35 - I haven't gotten around to joining the club yet, but will soon. I had hoped to attend the show in Auburn this past fall, but couldn't fit it into my schedule.

Toddle, that would be great if you do join. The V8 Club needs to attract more young folks like yourself who are interested in these early Fords. I had a great time at Auburn last year. I posted a lot of pictures taken at that show both here and on the EFV8 club's website. There is a central meet in Missouri this year and the Grand National Meet in Lake Tahoe, Nevada next year. Would be nice to see you and your Woodie at one of those shows.

All the wood is together, and just got the top on this weekend. Need to get the rain gutters painted and on there in the next couple weeks.

toddle321 · 02-29-2012, 12:10 PM

Pics of top - can't believe this thing is finally coming together!

FlatheadTed · 02-29-2012, 02:14 PM

Thats one massive job .Nice work .

toddle321 · 02-29-2012, 02:40 PM

Thanks Ted - I never thought a wood car would be so much trouble. Back to steel for me once this thing is done!

Amazing work, great car.

We son and I are restoring a 38 right hand drive and are going left hand drive .Should you wish any of the right HD. stuff for your Ute it is your for the cost of the shiping only.Johnny .

toddle321 · 03-01-2012, 10:05 AM

Thanks for all of the nice comments guys, really appreciate it.

@ Johnny - Thank you for the offer - I already have most of the RHD stuff (trans, pedals, gas pedal, dash), with the exception of the brake rod pivot that bolts to the front of the X-member, I assume that's different for RHD car. Do you have that for a manual brake setup?

THanks!
Todd

And Johnny - is your RHD a Ute? If you give me your email we can trade pictures.
