He is wearing gloves. I guess I won't post anymore action pictures.

no...no...no...keep them coming....interesting build.

The snubber brackets are not mounted in the same place on the frame rail so Brian removed them so we could install the cradle for the TCP rear suspension.





Cradle bolted and welded in place

Brian is a master bodyman, and knows what he is doing. Other people on the forum are not that proficient and knowledgeable, and may not be aware of some concerns while welding. It's a case of "your mileage may vary".

Please don't take my comments as criticism.

I always use protection.... :hide

 

[Opentracker]

For a spot weld or a quick tack, I'll go after it with shorts and a T-Shirt. For sure, welding without protection will give you a nasty sun burn. I will, even on the hot days, slide something on that will give full protection for a long hot session.

The cradle is supposed to bolt to the pinnon snubber mount but there was no holes and it was off center a little.



Brian welded a bracket



Brian decided to improving the welding a little







They welded the other side

A little, that looks much - much better. He does nice work !

Test fitting the TCP front and rear suspension with Wilwood brakes

 

[GPR]

If only the doors, fenders & hood fit like this.

 

[Ponyman66]

Wow Rusty! Those gaps look really good for "right out of the box"!

 

[GTchris]

The gaps on your trunk are better than mine.

 

[GPR]

The deck lid fit great but the doors, fenders and hood are another story.

Once the fender apron holes were modified to get the fender back so there was not a large gap at the windshield and front of the hood there was not enough gap at the door.



The hood is to wide at the back and will need to be trimmed

 

[Opentracker]

Too wide at the back - I've herd that one before!

You guys do some nice work Rusty. That car is going to be nicer than the ones Ford put out.

Brian had to grind and add material to the door



After grinding



He also had to do the same to the front

 

[GPR]

The left vent window would not fit so Brian had to drill out the spot welds and bend the sheetmetal a little to allow the vent window to go in.



The bracket on the inside of the door where the bottom of the vent window attaches was in the wrong place and had to be moved

 

[GPR]

Brian had to narrow the hood than weld a strip on the back side

Would the hood be too wide on an original car?

It was to wide at the back by the cowl.

Rusty, do you mind to post some more pics of how you added or clearance the hood especially from the underside? I think I'll have to do this. Is it like adding and removing metal to door edges or is there other tricks?

When Brian ground the edge of the hood the part that was bent over was never attached to the bottom of the hood so now it was a separate piece. Once he got the right clearance he welded the pieces back together than ground the edge down.
