1949 Ford bobber build

Looks like you are making great progress on that floor, looks nice and robust with the new mount and the beads in the floor!

 

[Torchie]

I don't see a problem with welding the floor seam from the top. Most people do it that way.
Good chance to practice making the welds pretty. [cl

And a lot less work then lifting the cab off.

Yeah, I might have to do it that way. To tight underneath on drivers side.

I put a counter shaft on my bead roller today that let's me manually crank from the same side as the roller dyes. I am using a 3/4 ratchet to drive it. Real slow but better control. I need a DC motor. Then I have a plan for it. Looked on Kijiji for a treadmill on the cheap. Might be the way. Tight now it's easy to store away.

Cut out the passenger side floor board. Had to take a little of the toe board. Will start making a new one tomorrow or the next day. I'm done for the day now.

 

[gold03]

Passenger side floor board is in. Just need to make that small bit of toe board.

Great job as always gold.
I had planned on getting out and working on mine today but everything is just too darn sore...

Good job on the floorboards

Sweet looking floor man!

 

[Dirtyrat]

So that is what the floor is supposed to look like stock!

Wow look at you go.

 

[gold03]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

We had a snow storm come through yesterday. I got to work in the garage while I listened to my step son run the snow blower.[cl

I feel your pain Torchie, with the weather change all of my joints are creaking and popping when I move!

I hear ya gold. Same storm made its way down here. Only about 3 inches but the cold was intense. My left knee and back are killing me now.

 

[gold03]

Floor is just about done. Just a few little spots to weld. Toe board is in as of today.

 

[Torchie]

Nice Job.

 

[gold03]

Thanks Torchie. I hope the aches and pains have cut you a little slack.

I had to take some time to clean shop. Couldn't find tools anymore.

 

[Torchie]

Sounds like home gold....
I thought that I had everything situated with the boat and the truck in the shop so I would have room to work on the the truck this winter.
Not so sure at this point, so no progress on mine.
Keep at it.
Torchie.

I think I should Finnish the door glass. I might have buggered up my door hinges trying to realign the body line.

 

[Torchie]

What did you do?????
