Post by: gif on June 15, 2016, 06:50:35 PM: the body already had a 10" stretch but i found it was way to narrow.
so i cut it to add 4" of width.

also, i dont like working with fiberglass. I will never do another glass body...

Im 6.3" so i need to shove the seats as low as i can.

Post by: gif on June 16, 2016, 05:13:23 PM: the floor of most of these type of cars/trucks is wood, like a boat.
That and the glass body did not give me a warm fuzzy feeling as far as safety goes.

So I went a different direction.
Steel floor with internal cage.

Title: Re: 1926 Roadster Pickup
Post by: gif on June 20, 2016, 01:22:00 PM: traditionally the rear is also a split wishbone setup. however it does not play well with V8 power. So to keep the look but have the performance i wanted, i designed a 4 link rear.

lower and upper links are 1-3/8" X .188 wall and use 7/8 heims.

Title: Re: 1926 Roadster Pickup
Post by: gif on June 20, 2016, 11:24:52 PM: Ford 1928 Model A grill shell.
to get the look i wanted i had to chop 4" of height out of it and notch it to fit inside the frame rails.
I also added some 1/4 rod to give it that hot rod look
a 1965 ford falcon 3 row radiator for a V8 just fits inside.

Post by: gif on June 24, 2016, 09:01:27 AM: 1930's Model A truck bed is hard to find in good shape. And if I did find one i was going to modify it anyways..

So decided to build my own.

I used a bead roller to give it the factory look.

started with the sides and then the floor.

Post by: gif on July 01, 2016, 07:45:23 PM: fuel tank
this is 10"x36" stainless tank The tank is typically used up high in sand rails and 2wd buggies.

I wanted it tucked under the bed hidden away.
However the fill neck and line ports were in the wrong spots. So i had to move them.

I also did not like the straps that these use. i made new mounts. had to build a jig to roll the 3/8x5/8 bar stock.

Title: Re: 1925 Roadster Pickup
Post by: gif on December 03, 2016, 06:33:52 PM: the mounts to the body are 3/16" mild steel plate that i heated and formed over and anvil to match the body shape. then i added the posts and built up space where the post meets the mount with weld. next, using a flap disc on my grinder, i formed the transition curves and got it all smooth. Then using a rosebud on the torch, i heated the post and formed them to the exact angles i wanted. (just a slight tweak, its amazing how 1/2 deg is visible) Now the post material is hollow, so to allow for the windscreen mount bolts to pass through and have some clamping force, i milled up some slugs and welded them in. The though bolt that allows the windscreen to hinge is a 3/8 fine thread. i did that so i can use the traditional windscreen wing nuts. (not pictured) The windscreen its self is 1/2" black pipe that i milled a 5/16 slot. this allows for the u channel grommet and the glass. The glass will install from the bottom and i will put small tac welds to hold the bottom of the windscreen frame. I still plan to mill some decorative grooves in the pillars.

Post by: gif on February 21, 2017, 08:18:11 PM: Started work on the interior.

It will be a combination of automotive carpet / tweed and vinyl.
I contacted the maker of the seats and asked if i could buy the vinyl fabric. They sold me 3 yards.
I also bought automotive jute carpet padding.

I think the original that matt quoted was edited. His quote is using the previous "non working" code vs the quote I just made using the corrected code.
