Hmmmm............and all along I was thinking gravitex was slang for a fat chick from Texas. Your threads are always educational Steve..........

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Went and collected this today, its not the nicest thing in the world but it has a fairly decent rear panel which will save no end of work, its been well butchered in places but dimensionally fairly correct, once I graft our 41 front on it it should look much better, once its all nice and straight we will mould off it. It will certainly save a lot of work & time.
I won't be keeping the outstanding firewall

Hell mate, replace those screws on the firewall with some stainless ones and you are good to go. You did mention that this was to be a work horse so the purple paint may just look okay as is.....
I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Isn't the web great, I just had a message from the guy that made this body, he recognised it by the Purple gelcoat, it was the first one he ever made 20 years ago !!!

The laminator made up a new front section from the coupe mould so last night we had a bit of a play around.

Well finished the fence first thing so got plenty of brownie points then more or less spent the rest of the day measuring, then measuring and then measuring again !!!
Decided where the join will be between the 2 halves and laid a plan out for the recess in the firewall. It was really a 2 man job but no one was around today, will have to get Gomez back to lend a hand
Also a few bits & pieces arrived, door locks, handles hood hooks & willys side trim, the eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed the cab is a 40 with the wipers above the screen, the coupe front is a 41 with wipers below the screen and has an extra swage line the 40 doesn't have plus I like the wipers above the screen, hence my cut line is below the 41 wipers, the side trim is the correct half round 40 pickup deluxe trim, the coupe trim is peaked.
These fenders caused me quite a bit of head scratching as I couldn't get them to fit right at first, until I realised they were the ones Mr Noble had used for mocking up his body and he had cut a bit off them
sussed it in the end though
Door hinges are polished stainless steel, these were not available when I did my Coupe so they were chromed, these are much nicer and not much more money.
Door locks are Bearjaw type, I don't usually use bearjaw preferring an older style latch but these were cheap !!!
Willy Reproduction Parts chrome door handles
32 Ford hood hooks, probably only need 2 as I intend to hinge the hood
40 pickup deluxe side trim

Yeah I love all of the vintage engines Robin, just picked up a 409 W motor in pieces, just need to find something for it to go into, The Y block has a lovely distinctive sound all of its own Originally Posted by lamin8r

Those 409's are getting hard to get and expensive from what I've heard on this site." "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Since that center X is there to prevent twist of the main rails I believe it's plenty stout, Navy. If anyone wants to look, show them the second side as your example!!
