Re: My new project 1928 Ford!!!!!
Made some progress on the 31 project yesterday. We made our firewall from various other firewall to fit because originally the body was narrowed 6 inches so the Duval windshield would look appropriate to the body lines. Next I will make the rest of the firewall once I have the template made. Inside the body I had to cut part of the floor board for the driveshaft hoop to fit.

Re: My new project 1928 Ford!!!!!
I did accomplish a lot these past few days the firewall was the main area I wanted to get done and was able to fit the steering column as well. I have my parts from Speedway arriving this afternoon and wanted the firewall completed.
Thanks Frenchy |

Re: My new project 1928 Ford!!!!!
A few updates the firewall is done also installed the Beehive oil filter I will have to modify the bracket so the filter is level because of the firewall is at an angle. Also made the wood floor for the inside of the car with 3/4 plywood that will be painted black with a rubber mat sitting on top. The seats I bought at Bass Pro shop and they will be redone in black with gold stiching with the V8 logo in the center also in gold. The body will be done in flat black with the Duval windshield polish brass the engine will be painted in gold close match to the windshield frame. The headlight buckets are going and be gloss black and the headlight rings in brass the fuel tank is the oval style and will be painted gloss black with the brass straps. Dash panel gloss black with the gold style gauges. I will be posting more pictures as I move along.

Re: My new project 1928 Ford!!!!!
Frenchy,
I've wondering how you and your son were coming along on your build. I liked what you did for the windshield frame and I think your welding/fabrication is first rate. Looking forward to more pictures. Congratulations on the new "shop". Dick. |

Re: My new project 1928 Ford!!!!!
as i understand it, the merc heads have a bigger combustion chamber than the ford heads. if you use the ford 3 3/4" ford crank and merc heads you are losing compression. i believe the merc 4" crank with ford EAB heads, gives you a nice boost over the ford crank, merc heads. i'm sure others can respond with more knowledge than me.

Re: My new project 1928 Ford!!!!!
I was hoping to maybe mill the Mercury heads to match the cc in the chambers of the Ford?
