1929 Ford Pick-up (with a few changes)

[`Boots`]

Hi everyone, third attempt at getting some WIP pics up of my first Rod...........


This is the initial kit that was kindly sent to me by my `ol mucker Chris S..............just added a few changes to it....... ;D

The cab has had 3/16th chopped out to give a nice lowerered look and then chanelled to fit the chassis, the running boards were discarded and then chopped up so i could utilise the rear load bed and rear fenders........

The inner floor of the cab has been infilled as you can see by the two pics..........and below the peek added over the screen and a half scratched front grill...............it`s half scratched as i had to keep the top half and rebuild the lower due to a mishap during the adjustment stage

This is as far as i am at the mo and a bit stuck until the engine turns up, i need to adjust linkage and stuff and also scratch the firewall and front floorpan and i can`t do that until it arrives....

Thanks for looking and third time lucky in getting this post up

[Chris S]

No pressure .........but we're waiting !!! ;D

Chris.

 

[`Boots`]

Ok Chris...........i know you`ve already seen it but i`ll put up a pic of the story so far

The engine is dry fitted and will be de-chromed in Mr Muscle oven cleaner, the blower and remaining parts will be added tomorrow...................this has needed some choppin` and changin` to get things to fit, i ended up moving the rad and grill forward by 5mm so that the linkage was clear of the big 8, more soon folks

[Quaralane]

[Chris S]

Just ordered a pre-wired dizzy for it as well so i can add the plug leads etc, firewall has also been scratched and so has the floorpan (not added in these pics btw).................still a bit too go tho!!

Thank you Quaralane and Chris

Hi fellas, just finished scratching the firewall and the floorpan, a bit of a chore but it certainly tidies her up a bit, just need to sort a tranny tunnel to hide the tranny alltogether.................here`s a few mock up pics of her so far......
