Sheetmetal Progress
March 1st, 2009
Great progress was made this weekend. The firewall has been fitted (some minor grinding was necessary for a perfect fit) and drilled. The chassis has also been drilled to mate with the firewall.
Also, the trunk panels have all been drilled and fitted. They fit great and required no trimming so far. It’s possible that like the firewall, they may need some minor trimming when mounting the body.
A special thanks to my friend John for lending a HUGE amount of help today. Without his help we couldn’t have gotten the trunk finished (all except for the 3-link cover).
i stumbled across your site today, and i have to say that i love what you are doing. one day i hope to have the time and space to build a custom hodrod. i was wondering where you got the chasis and body from? i don’t think i’ve seen a prebuilt tube chasis for a 33 ford before.
if you get a chance stop by our forums at http://www.burnoutradio.com, we’d love to have you stop by and visit from time to time.
Thanks for your comment. The entire car (minus engine, transmission, rear axle, wheels, and tires) is a kit from Factory Five Racing. I should probably update the site header to include that information.
i’ll defiantly have to check them out. i really dig that kit you’ve got.
