I just did this on a 47 business coupe. A couple of tips, first test fit your doors and weld bracing inside to keep the gaps right, then before you weld anything have your running boards on hand to make sure the rocker boxes are bent at the right spot to fit the boards. The boxes I installed...

On these doors, there is a diaginal brace that runs from the top hinge to the bottom of the rear of the door. It is made of sheet metal and is next to the upholstery. If the bottom of the door needs to come in you can bend this brace in away from the inside of the car effectively shortening it...

The 47 ford 1 1/2 ton fire truck that I knew had the jack on the passenger side under the seat. It also came with all of the tools in a pouch in the same area.

Our 36 is not going to be finished. That is the car we really wanted to take, so I guess it will be Dad and the Wife in a modern ride. See you all there!

Hey Guys and Gals. Maybe one of you can help me out. I sent several pieces and parts to the chromer and all of them came back beautiful.....except the radio bezel for the 36. It was caught by the buff wheel and went unnoticed. It made it through the rest of the chroming process bent really bad...

I used to live close to White Post and would stop and see him and the guys twice a year. I always made an effort to see him at Hershey and get my apple from his table. Several of my cars and trucks have his master cylinder and wheel cylinders on them. He will be missed.

Hey Bruce, just sent off 12 pieces to Dans Polishing based on recommendations from the barn. If all goes well and the price is right the 36 grille will go next. I will post results.

I went to a dealer locally and got to dig around in thier attic. I found 2 nos front crossmembers, a nos metal essex coil, several radius rod bolts and about a truck load of 50-60 model stuff. All this for 500 bucks last year. Sold some of the stuff at hershey and more than paid for all of it.

I just put my 36 tank in last night and all though the bolt kit came with castle nuts and drilled bolts, the tank has captured(cage) nuts mounted to it. What keeps the spring and bolts from working out over time with out cotterpins? Maybe Dave or Scott knows the answer....Thanks, Jim. ( P.S...
