I really enjoy seeing the results of your work. It is amazing!
1929 Ford Coupe - Rusty to Solid
- Thread starter Flop
- Start date
thanks Country!1
finished up the drivers side bracket this morning thats they dont repop
then set the seat pan in transferred the rivet holes and got everything lined up there. the rivets arnt set just keeping the panel aligned . i didnt put the rear pan in because it will be much easier to work on the rear of the car with out that piece in.
moving back ward to where the new subframe was once welded on . it needed some help in my opinion
a few patches later and a little tig welding its looking a little better
and the connection on the drivers side after
got all the welds smoothed out

Flop, you are an artist with some mad skills! Keep up the amazing work.
thanks seth !!
just another days work 28annie! but i do like taking the time to show folks what goes into bringing a car back the correct way .
this was a random hole cut here where there was a body mount
had to patch it before i put the subframe in
the subframe was cut to close to the brace so i couldnt clean up the weld nicely. so i cut out some of the new subframe so i could achieve that
and the new connection

Hey flop Im going through the same thing on my 29 truck, first time on restoring one. Any hints on doing the sub rails and could u fab. up a set of door post connectors for me? Restoring my grandfathers truck witch he handed down to me was I was about five now Im 45 and just getting started, would mean alot to me with alittle help in the right direction Thanks Pete
thanks everyone!!
Vanspeed i never really use a dremel . i grind with a 36 grit 6 inch disc on an electric sander . i also use 60 grit on a 3 inch roloc and a file.
29 -make sure you are working off a frame that is level and square .ill send you a message about the connectors

Thank flop I did learn alot off this forum, I will be calling thanks again Pete
did some more work on Miles coupe today
put a patch in this riser .no sense on getting a repop when only 1 tiny section was rotted out
got it all smoothed out
this piece in my opinion this rear panel below the decklid is the biggest pain to get out of an A
after i got it out had to redrill and tap all 8 screw holes in the rear subrail

thanks co29 1 glad to know people can check on the thread and get some help from it!!
didnt get much done today juggling a bunch of projects at the moment
but i did get this area cleaned up and for the most part have 90 percent of all the subframe work done
and riveted back in after i patched it
