That's shoddy work, not only welded instead of riveted, but twisted and bent too. With every picture you post It just reaffirms I made the right choice to send it up to you.

Flop, You're doing some great work here... thank you for sharing with us ! Is this Ford a 49-A "Special Coupe" ? (Mid' 28- mid-29, had sedan-decking all the way down the back to the belt-line) ( I'm curious because I don't see any curved tin roof panel above the doors...) A buddy helped me do some body-work on my Special Coupe last summer, and we can both attest that the lower trunk panel & related areas are a supreme pain to work-on ! Please keep us posted !

Re: 1929 Ford Coupe - Rusty to Solid
Glad to see some nice work. The Tig seems to be the way to go these days. I work mostly with MIG and Oxy/acety.
Here's 30 Coupe I'm working on. I'm at 600 hours to this point for metal work, prep, paint, polishing and starting to assemble. Remember aftermarket means "Almost" fits !!!!! I hope you enjoy. The Old TInbasher |

Re: 1929 Ford Coupe - Rusty to Solid
thanks everybody! nice work tinbasher.
tig is the way to go in my opinion . the weld acts so much like the orig metal when you are getting it back into shape its amazing! heres the quarter patch . again about an eighth inch short .

Re: 1929 Ford Coupe - Rusty to Solid
I removed this out of mine last night. Yes, it is a major pain in the backside.

Re: 1929 Ford Coupe - Rusty to Solid
Flop, you are amazing!!! I am new to the hobby and have never seen body work done before. Your pictures and narrative have been a real treat and informative. Then to see that video of you actually working your magic totally blew my mind. Thank you for posting all of this great information.
