That thing looks very solid, and doesn't seem to have a wood subframe like similar Fords and Chevys of that time.

Will make a great rod.

Wetsandblasting the frame and body. As some of you have suggested, its not the best way to go because to put water on bare metal is instant rust, however, it does produce results and at a minimum cost.





Here I have started applying POR-15 to the interior


Applying a little rattle can primer till I can get the body to a paint booth.


A sill plate contructed of steel to replace the orginal wooden ones. The interior of the car was originally framed in wood which included the sill plates (mounted between the body and frame), along with the floor boards. My plan is to replace the wood with steel as so to be able to weld in a metal floor along with being able to tie the A, B, and C pillars together for better strength.


The sill plates installed. They are just above the frame rails and under the rough framing.


A close up of the passenger side front quarter with the sill plate installed.


I put the hood and frame rail covers on to make sure that the body is still aligned.
