Thread: 34 3 Window Re-Build

Tweet

Looks like you're making good progress Jack. Good on you!

Some of the machines used in the re-build that I didn't have the first time around. The close up of the mill shows milling a engine mount to make clearance for the header.

Thermst. housing and Upper Control Arm. Also showing Wilson Welding hub I bought to fit Buick drums then drilled drums for ford bolt circle.

Cool thread jack, even makeovers are neat....!!

Thanks Rich,

Have been at this off and on for 5+ years, as time and money allows. Trying to get the underside of the body and exhaust done so I can put the body back on, then fine tune the body and fenders. More pics to come.

Jack.

Thought I would add a few more pics.
The rear floor patch as tacked in with the mig and will finish with the tig. I know, but grinding will make all the welds look absolutely perfect. In the first build this hole was filled with a sheet of 1/4 plywood that was glassed in around the seams.

A shot of the alt. bracket I made from a piece of billet alum.

A shot of steering box I made to move the steering shaft over aprox. 6" to clear the header. This is a proto-type 3 gear driven box that does work but I will replace it with a better designed chain driven box later.
