Hello all,
I thought I would share some of my scratchings on a long term project I have been working on and honing my restoration skills.It is mostly flat steel so no difficult metal shaping here! A Cigweld 135 Turbo mig and some sykes hammers and dollies plus general workshop hammers gets things done. Loads of inspiration here to get a professional finish so I ma grateful for those sharing their projects cheers Bill Attachment 53363 Attachment 53364 Attachment 53365 Attachment 53366 Attachment 53367 Attachment 53368 Attachment 53369 Attachment 53370 Attachment 53371 |

Those welds are done on the inside of the join at each end. The seam on the inside stops short at approximately 50mm permitting the weld to performed. This was the way the factory American Central Manufacturing (the subcontractor) did it originally and on every body produced by Ford and ACM during WWII. I still have some metal finishing off to do but that is how it was. Regards Bill |
Well done Bill, really great finish on these saved parts:cool:

Thank you Antoine.

I have been busy making the rear wheel well panels out of fresh steel as the originals were badly rusted. I used the originals as a template. A little metal shaping as well.
