31 Ford Deluxe Phaeton Work!!

Again VERY NICE... moving along in the fast lane.......He is going with Everyone 180A Blue??? 7 color combo's in 1930 and too bad he has a 1931...4 combo's. I would shoot for Brewster Green and not blue...Have not seen one yet....And tooooooooo many blues.That's why mine is black...

Here is Bob Travis's Brewster Green...maybe a bit on the light side...but the Apple Green wheels sure seem correct. I am doing my 31 in black and Apple Green. Peter, I will give you a call about excess parts here in a week or two. Swoff

Would it be possible for you to post an outside rear body picture? My son and I are trying to piece a Phaeton together and these pics are a BIG help. Thanks.

Does this help??


(Also, I probably have pictures showing how we made many of the patch panels for this car if you would like to see those too)

Brent, thanks for the extra pics. They definitely will help. I assume the rear panel to quarter seams have been filled.

I attached a PDF that I made for a different project that has some of the pictures. If there is something specific you need to see, let me know.

We melted the lead out of the seam and filled with a Kevlar-stranded filler.
