I googled "how to move a thread from one forum to another" The first step is "Select the Forums tool from Tool Menu in your site." Where does a person find the tool menu?

Very nice. It looks like you have the skills and the equipment to fab metal and do body work. I bought EMS pieces and hired out the welding and body work. I assume you paint your own stuff as well?

Thank you! My tools are basic hand tools and I kinda figured out everything as I went along. I'm gonna try to paint my '54 at home.
I've put my build on a couple of websites. The way I do it (maybe not the proper way) is to copy and paste the text from one site to another then insert each pic separately. It's a little bit of work.

Brought it back from the paint shop yesterday. Now it's time to assemble the pieces.

The paint turned out nicely (hard to see in photo)?

Are you going to keep a photo album of assembly/trim-out? If so can you post progress as it goes here? This is going to have the OEM DRIVE-TRAIN?

This car is as close to original as I can get, down to the 6 volt pos ground. My build thread in the 54 Ford Club website is gone but I might put together an album of start to finish pictures.

It's a shame all of that stored info was lost. So the actual forum has been removed also?

I procrastinated in putting the vent wings together after having the frames chromed. I'm learning about tubular rivets. There are three different sizes. I have the smallest ones, they came with the seals. I don't have a tool to crush them or a source for the other two sizes. I don't even know how to measure the lengths I need. I might install the airplane on the hood to be able to say I've made progress.
