Looks nice Joe .

The GT , update

Joe's been driving it around town already !
Adjust tire pressure, wash the windshield and it's done.
Looks real good !

"the GT" gets chopped

So took some time off from work.
Spent Thursday firing up the 283 for the first time.
Then Friday went up to Ft Longmont to see Joe.
Well we had a plan, Joe, Alex and me chopped the ol' Tudor.
Looks real sweet with the lowered lid.

Couple pictures ..
Did a couple cool things,
Chopped it 5 1/8" and only chopped the windshield 3 1/16"
Added a 1931 visor to it too.
Took the windshield header area apart. And chopped the A pillars from the top down
and reinstalled the header. ..

Pictures !

no time to fuck around, Joe was on a mission. Off with it's head !
 



thin cut off wheels slice thru old Fords like warm butter
 



Checking fit. On Tudor you can chop it in section at a time

 

Big tacks on inner supports..
 

Stand back and have a look.. I like it !









 

Yes !  still needs work. Joe will get it done right.
 

"The GT" update

Joe has been busy hammering closed  all the bullet holes in the old girl

Farner's daughter is retired, intoducing "the GT"

The Farmer's Daughter has moved out of my garage
Joe aka "Joe's truck" is the new care giver.
And the old born on July 3rd 1929 Tudor is officially renamed "the GT"

The Farmers Daughter sedan, doing stuff

Thought of a new name for it.
Turdor
Anyway, fitting shit.

Farmers daughter sedan.. welding grinding

Nothing exciting or fun.
But the drivers side quarter panel is almost one solid piece

cowl getting patched

quarter panel fixings

inner quarter panel brace
 

FD update

my buddy Mark did up some welding on the ol Tudor.
Got the body bolted down for reals.

Drinking beer and welding on a Tuesday, good times.

picking away at it..

Patched some rust.
Got the doors closer to fitting...
Nothing exciting

Farmers daughter surgery ?

Cutting out some of the rusty spots

Sharpie and a scrib tool

makes it easier for me to see where to cut

started rebuilding the wheel well and quarter panel

great trick for removing broken off bolts
weld a new one to it, the heat helps and better gription

still more Farmers Daughter updates, the sedan is taking shape

bent edges and rusty panels

big chunk missing

nice big bullet hole

hey where's the bend?

no more bullet hole

more bent stuff

simple tools get it done
(my grandfathers hammer, love that ball peen)

floors getting welded in

floors in, mocking up steering too
