SHOP UPDATE: pounding it out on Jim's 36 and Susi's 37

Last week I finished the modifications and repairs on the drivers rear fender. This week I got started on the passenger side which was much worse.

This is the new patch that reshapes the rear swoop and removes the droop out of the rear corner.

You can see the droop in the rear corner of the fender

This is the new shape of the rear fender. It straightens and levels the back of the rear fenders. Now they have lines that work with the boxy bed and the rear frame. Now all the lines run parallel to each other. Looks much cleaner.

Just blocking out some skim coat On that curved roof.

Here is the cab back in primer. Now we will go over it with a fine tooth comb and repair any imperfections and get it ready for color.

 Susi and I attacked her bed last night.

 This is the inner framing we built to mount the bed and to attach the flooring to it.

 Susi is giving it the once over before installing it today.

 We added some frame welting to keep the squeaks and rattles to a minimum.

 Drilling the rear mounting holes for the bed

 We installed the bitchin 39 Ford taillights this morning

 Susi engineered the front bed mounts last night. This was her idea using some existing bolts in the frame. It is a fine idea and worked perfectly.

 We mounted the bed, installed the driveshaft this afternoon.

 We also made the patterns for the door glass and rear window and prepped the windshield frame for glass. We will dropping  everything off tomorrow to have the glass cut and tempered.

 I spent the evening and wired the rear of the truck. I will get the E brake cables cut and fit and the back of the truck is finished.

We installed the lisence plate bracket we fabricated and installed her 1937 Montana plate. This rod is registered and ready to hit the road
