56 Ford floor panels
Guys, I havent been here a lot, but I want to share this with you. I posted it on the Hambs 52-59 Ford Social Group.
Might help someone as only metal forming hand tools were used: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...1058643/page-2 Regards |

I intend to show photo's of the project including inner & outer rocker panel cutouts & repair, rear wheelhouse rust cutout and rebuilding, rear quarter panel cutoff and replacement, rear of trunk floor and tailpan rustout cutout and repair at a later time. Like you, I also have only crude hand tools (hand shears, old jigsaw with a metal-cutting blade, hammer and mig welding outfit). Last edited by Daves55Sedan; 06-14-2017 at 12:08 AM. |
