lookin good So nice to see four doors cut up and made into something awesome! Search my posts to see what I did to mine.

Nice car!! My brother just bought a 62 from Minn. It has a 318 poly in it. He wants to max wedge clone it with 413 and cross ram.

I welded the bottom of the grill shell back on, then bent 3/8 round stock to the inside contour of the lower section. After welding that to the inside of the shell, I cut the pan portion of the grill shell off. I still have more welding to do and some final shaping but it is stronger than new...

panhead Here is a link to the panhead build. http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45637 I am building a '60FL for my wife now.

info The dipped it in solution and used elcticity to remove the rust from the body. here is a link to their site with info on what they do. http://www.autorestorationdepot.com/ArticleContinued.html

I like the bezel you found, round gauges are almost always cooler than other shapes. The only thing cooler than round is sperical!!

update I picked the body up from 'Restoration Depot' today, here are a few pictures of what they did to the car. There is a bit of surface rust still in the cowl vent, but everywhere else they did a great job of removing the nastiness that has accumulated over the years.

beautiful car, thanks for sharing your find with us!

looks good so far. What is that grill shell hanging on the wall?

Here is the link to my intro, http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12166 The black pan is a '48 I finished last year. I am building a '60 pan for my OL now. I just got rid of a hot rod shovel. Here is a link to the 34 I am building now also...

Nice start! what year is that pan? I know its got shovel heads on it, but its still a pan to me.

Insteresting, do you plan to use the rear doors? I see your roof opening looks like it lines up with the section removed. I had to pie cut mine to get the lines to meet. I removed 12 inches, so that is part of it I am sure. Looks good!

Here the body is dropped off at the restoration depot. Thats a pantera next to my car. They have a Chrysler Ghia inside they are restoring.

looks good, welcome from Florida

Here is what I have done today so far.... I found the center of the window and used that as the center of the car. I made a string tied on a pencil the length of the measured distance and drew the radius on both sides. I laid tape lines to mark the straight part of the cut. I laid three lines...

proposed tail chop I go to thinking about the tail of my car after seeing Rebstews post about cutting his. I am going to cut mine like this tomorrow....Here is the body as it is now Here is what I am proposing, thats about 10 inches off the lip

I am positive I dont want to chop it, Fords need the chop as their window openings are too large. This car looks chopped at least 4 inches compared to a Ford body. Look at the windshield on the 34 that rebstew built, that is too small for a street car in my opinion. I want to be able to see out...
