1929 Ford Coupe-Rusty to Solid by Flop

3 minute(s) of a 20 minute read

well started on the subrail patches because i picked up a frame off a friend of mine ...

cut out the mess 

new patch welded and finished

well then i ran out of argon for the tig so it turned into squirt gun sunday (mig) for the drivers side

didnt get to finish it tonight just welded it in 

5-10-2012

well apparently there are no repops made of this connector from the door post to the cowl so i had to whip up 2 of em .

heres the first side. they resemble the original but the og pieces have a shape pressed into them . i cant get the shape pressed into 16 gauge plus they are never to be seen again once the car goes back together 

and i started on the other side 

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
