Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work
some work i am doing on a 30 roadster
heres the start! dug inot the driver side cowl today found a mix of cement and some red oxide filler of sorts cut out the mess and found a solid area to work with welded up the inner piece and seam sealed it up i made the body line on the harbor freight bead roller with the step die and some work to give it crown . way easier to make your own in my opinion then mess with patch panels finished up this crack is really throwing the alignment of the door off on the bottom. its on the top rail you could say on the quarter panel crack open craack closed.makes the door fit waaaay tighter to the body ground a bunch more useless red oxide out of the door now its loking like a nice solid start!

Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work
Nice work! I'll bet I can find 3 houses for sale in the neighborhood if you, Marco, and Brent want to move in. Then I wouldn't have to learn body work.

Heck, I got a finished basement - carpet, TV, pool table, beds - all ready for 'em to move into - country life, pond full of fish in the backyard, and my wife's a great cook! Seriously, Flop, for one of your "tender" years, you obviously have great talent - I'm 2-1/2 times your age and wouldn't have a clue where to start doing the stuff you do. BTW, just curious - any idea what those roadster cowl lights are from? Definitely not Model A. |

Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work
i appreciate all the offer to move guys !!
thats why i put it up here jeep so maybe someone can learn from it. chud i looked at the lights for a long time today . on the lens it saw c.w. hall lamp company detroit michigan figured out why the door was hangin out at the bottom all welded up some filler. but i would much rather have some well used filler then rust half finished ...the rest of the filler. gonna have to pull the door to get around the hinges and pull the lock assembly to get around the handle hole the next mess

Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work
Thanks-that's what I use, but I was wondering how you got those nice,straight lines. I guess I have to be more careful.

Re: 1930 Ford Sheetmetal Work
Hey Flop, keep up the great work and especially keep up the pictures and posting. Your pictures bring back great memories of my own endless hours of sheetmetal working-you're an inspiration, kind of makes me itch to get the ol sheetmetal work underway on something. If only I had the time......
