    cutting a door

     



    the door is getting the inside is cut out so we can piece gap left when the body is shortend. after the body is welded, we will put custom door skins on the inside so door panels can be installed.

    thinking black tuck & roll on front door panels and on the sides in the back all the way to the back window.

    cut the body to day, took out only 7'' because the chassis l am using was built for a differant kind of car. to get the body to fit correctly, that was all we could safely take out . will finish welding up the body tomarrow or the next day. soon after the welding on the main body is done, we will fill in where the doors were.:3dSMIL

    I always sorta liked the more door cars. But I really like the way you are doing this old Ford.

    Interestingly enough just today a 4 dr to 2 dr project was offered to me. While this one is a real project I thought maybe you would like to see a couple of photos.

    mine turned out to be a 1932 desoto, not a 1933 dodge like l was first told.

    hope to have running before summer.

    to get it running l still have a long way to go . l try to work on it a little every day.

    progress today

     



    got the rear doors started to be cut and welded in so they will not open.
    the body work will be started as soon as the welding is finished so we can start painting.

    l now it looks rough right now, we will get it cleaned so the rust is off of the
    body and the dark red below the body line and bright red above will look good.

    more pics as progress goes on.

    worked on the guages today. the area above the windsheild has enough room for the guages to fit in and puts them right at eye level.
    even have a transmission heat guage made by B&M from 1979 still in the oringal package l bought it in.

    I saw a 34 Chrysler 4 door made into a sedan delivery, and he used the rear door from a PT Cruiser Panel for the rear door on the 34. Really sharp ride.
