thanks Russell, here are a few pics pics of the 51' F-6 we're building. We mounted it on a E-350 chassis with the 7.3 turbo diesel. We are painting it orange and grey with the owners hardware store info on the door.

These are pics of a 57' Convertible Fuelie Car, its going back all original. Black with a black top. This is the second quarter I've installed in this car. The first one was a taiwan quarter which was waayyyyyy off. The new quarter is US made.

This is the "Other Truck" I will start a build thread on it later. I can't show alot of pics just yet.

You can follow the other projects on my website. I thought about staring a build thread on the 51' F-6 but its a Ford

Thanks

I started repairing the drivers front fender, it had a stress crack in it running up the edge of the fender. I'll have it finished Monday with more pics.

It still has a long way to go! I'm fixing a big mess with this truck, some things were okay and some things were just bad. We're doing alot of custom work to this truck and have alot of good people behind us on this build

. Thanks

Nsanehotrodz. You have a lot of nice projects. I am also building a 48 Ford COE. The steering is the fun one there. I bought a offset box from the company that makes them, but Posies sells them and they are $350 but are worth the money. It looks great. I love seeing everyone elses projects ,Chevy or not. Keep up the great work.

Here is a ? for you. What do you do to the backside of a weld that you can't get too. Since I am a novice I would love some advice. Your welds always look awesome.

renegade8720 · 08-31-2011, 06:58 PM

Great Work! I am building a 50 five window pro tour. How much did you chop the top on that truck in post 216? I am thinking of chopping my truck 3". I know with the five window, it will be some extra work.

Thanks,
Renegade

Do you always do some of the welds and grind them before adding more welds, or was that to show us amateurs how smooth you can make a panel joint without using filler? Is that tig welds?
Beautiful work, very inspirational. Keep the pics coming.

Thanks Russell, I grind after each set of welds. The welds in the pic are mig. The bad thing about this is, I found two rust free doors today

! Oh well I'll save them for the next truck. I'll have more tomorrow! DeWayne

Nsanehotrodz · 09-20-2011, 08:45 PM

More pics! I finshed the passenger side front fender today, and started setting the hood gap. DeWayne

Just wondering, if you grind after each set of welds, and if you weld the joints solid in the end, how much metal is removed from the original panels that are being joined? Wouldn't they be much thinner after all the grinding?

The key is to only grind the weld. Fit-up is very important. When I grind the welds the first round I leave them just a little higher than the base metal. Then finish them when it is completely welded. Thanks

Between this and the Ironworks Truck we have some top notch builds going on! Cant wait to see more of the pieces in paint. That is a nice shade of blue!
