I have seen the resent panels on the auction site. Too much work for the money. I am willing to pay the same price as repo's for originals that are good. |
Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project If I can find my originals I would swap you for a pair of repros. I'm gonna paint them shiney white anyway. Probably be back in my garage Sunday. I think I stashed them in a file cabinet.

Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project The 35 is always a favorite of mine. You are doing a very nice job.It does take a bit of money to restore but in the end it will be well worth the money and effort.Will be watching your progress.George

Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project Coming along very nicely.

Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project Vanspeed,
Great job! Love the patina as well. |
Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project Great looking truck, wish we had kept our 36', but times got rough. Keep up the good work!

Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project Those look like they will do just fine. Looks like I will be ordering you up a set of new ones! This is why I love the ford barn!

Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project Bit of good news, I just got two flatheads from barn member funrunr. A 1940 59 and a 46 59AB. The later turns over so hopefully I will have a power plant for this old girl. Also made a deal with Scott for his bed panels. Now it is putting together the puzzle. Getting excited now.

Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project Good Score Jeff! I'll take that 39 rear off your hands if you are parting out the other frame!
Edit.. Sorry dude, just realized I was reading on an old post! Truck looks fantastic! Great work! Perfect patina! Matt |

Keep goin!

Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project So the two flatheads did not happen. Both were too big an investment for me to make a runner. I do however have a deal with a barner for a nice running '40 flathead so things are looking good. I got the lower filler panels from Scott and they were exactly what I needed. Rash, dings, 81 years worth of abuse. The one thing I did not like was the bed reveal on one was pretty much squashed flat. I made up a little die and in about half an hour, it looks almost as it should.
As they arrived http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pspbdxryoh.jpg First round http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psmmzlsner.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psyec1zidd.jpg Looking better http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps0t13mmeg.jpg Not bad for an hours time. Thanks Scott! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psldkydlor.jpg |
Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project that turned out great!

Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project Thanks Scott! Today my buddy Kirk delivered something I had to have. My 35 frame was toast and it came with a '39 frame ( which is under the truck now) but it had rust in it's past and somebody replaced the entire sides about 4 feet long and a lot of holes that I need we're welded up. I really wanted a virgin frame and he came back from California with this beautiful '39 frame. I don't think I have ever seen one this nice. I am going to now swap my truck over to this frame.

Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project Been a little while so I thought I would update this. Bought a running take out 37 engine from a guy in Milwaukee. It is getting picked up from a buddy tomorrow and delivered when he comes to autorama. The original 35 trans is done and ready. Talked to the guy that bought the engine that was in my truck (a '37 with block off plates and my original 35 heads, etc. and we are swapping the 37 stuff from my engine for the original 35 stuff. Happy about that!
The truck is getting taken apart so that I can start on the new chassis. I am going to do the chassis first and then start in on the sheetmetal work. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psx3fjqkgq.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pscb7nosvr.jpg |
Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project Gotta love the '35 shifter.
|
Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project 35 was the first year the shifter curved back toward the seat. A minister told me that 1955 when we went to see him about getting hooked in a 35 coupe. Walt

Re: picked up a 1935 pickup project It is a beautiful shifter!
