C'mon- we gotta see more!

OK...... here are a few pics of the body. The frame is at the blaster, the engine is at the machine shop, the rear end is in SD getting assembled and my computer is at my brothers getting repaired. So........... I have been painting the bits and pieces that need it.

Next week I should have the frame back and can I can see how well the body will fit it.

I could not resist snapping a pic of it tonight. The front end is under it again but there is no rear end and the body is still not flush on the frame cuz I have not worked up the courage to lay a cut off wheel to the trunk floor to open it up for the Model A rear crossmember. I ordered a Model A sedan floor panel to cover the spring and I may wait until it gets here to cut it......we'll see.

Also the top of the door is a 47". That was the highest point on the roof of my A sedan. :shock: I was planning on lever shocks but RANCHO dosen't list em! :roll:

that looks good, I couldn't tell at first what the two dark lines were in the first photo til I saw the 2nd one. Will the engine be arriving soon?

Eyeball · « **Reply #127 on:** April 24, 2007 5:15 am »

I don't think I will see the engine anytime soon. I have too much other shit to do anyway. I have to make up my mind on the dash soon too but I am pretty sure it will be getting the 40 Merc dash. Once that is in I can mount the steering box.

are the pictures decieving, or does the rear tires look a little far forward in the opening?

Eyeball · « **Reply #129 on:** April 24, 2007 2:16 pm »

As I said above there is no rearend under it. The tire is just leaning up against it.

Oops, i missed that.

So, this is your frame, right?

Eyeball · « **Reply #132 on:** April 25, 2007 4:54 pm »

From what I gather.....yes.

Ok time for another update. I didn't get a bunch done but here ya go.

First off is the dash. I stripped it so I could see what I had to work with. Someone filled the window crank hole by brazing a penny in it and then filled another hole with the head of a sheet rock screw, and left the whole screw under the dash for you to jam your hand into. I had to take 2.5" out of the center of it to get the steering column in the right spot, then I took about the same off each end of it.

Next I had to do somthing with then ends of it. I cut down the ends I had cut off and reworked them a bit and I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Plus I got a nice sunburn from the welder!
