SHOP UPDATE: Working on John's 41 Pickup

I switched projects today and worked on John's 41 Ford. I removed the stock X member and slightly modified the new parts to fit the way i wanted them. I will spend tomorrow on this one and hope to be mounting the engine by the end of the day.

SHOP UPDATE: Getting a little closer everyday.

 I finally received all the parts to assemble the front brakes. These brakes are awesome, four piston disc brakes hidden inside polished aluminum drums. Old school look with the best technology inside.

 I mounted the column and connected the steering box. Clean and simple.

Tonight, I built the framing for the bed. I will skin it with steel and then attach the bed panels.

I also built the mounts for the air ride and the battery.                                                                                          

SHOP UPDATE: Doing a little bead rolling on the 37 Ford Pickup

I am slowly getting the new floor pan in the 37 pickup. Once I figured out my plan, things are starting to flow. I am waiting on the shifter for the transmission, as soon as it arrives I can finish the tunnel over the trans and remove the cab for final welding and interior paint. I can't wait!!

SHOP UPDATE: Joe's 37 Ford pickup

I just thought I would post a couple of shots of the Meat Wagon with the cab on the frame. I am off to spend the day with my wife. I should be back on it this evening.

SHOP UPDATE: A few more shots of todays progress

Here are a few more shots of what I got done today. The 37 is really starting to come together. If parts will ever show up I can finish the chassis and move on to the metal work. Stay tuned

SHOP UPDATE: Just a little tease

I thought I would post a little sneak peek at Joe's 37 chassis. I don't really want to show to much until it is further along.

SHOP UPDATE: Even Sue gets involved in some of the projects !

Well, things are evolving on Joe's 37 Ford. Sue and I dug in and stripped and painted the flathead V8  over the weekend. I have been working non stop on the chassis. I hope to have it finished sometime next week. I am shooting for engine installation this weekend. I'm not sure if this will happen due to  lack of parts.
