Mike, hit me up if you need any help finding parts out here on the west coast. I know a guy here who has built at least 2 magazine cars and can find nearly any old Ford part.. Also if you need any help with glass i'm down too. The last one of these I did had that glass with the metal diamond pattern in it that you see in schools. Looked killer!

One post of pictures, four pages of responses. This build thread will be longer than RT when it's finished.

But seriously, it's awesome to see you digging into the world of fabrication. Once you start getting in some time with the machines, it'll eventually feel like a natural process. You already have a knack for pretty much anything automotive, so I doubt you'll be in the beginning stages for long.

We cannot wait to see the final product! Keep us updated!

This is a car built by a 28 year old kid here in Utah. Salt Flats Speed Shop, look him up. His build thread on the hamb is here:

This build is really great, I've been reading through it the last couple days. Would probably be really inspirational for you, Mike.

And let's see some updates on the new parts you got in the mail!

The UPS man brought lotsa goodies!



New drop axle, '41 spindles, disk brakes, and all of the associated parts.



Some assembly required... :-P

I started taking pics as it all went together, but soon got too greasy to pick up the camera.

I started with the spindles-



I had to press the bearings in to the spindle bosses (2 per boss, 4 per spindle) and then mate them to the axle boss with the kingpin, and then grease it all up. Big mess!



Then I packed all of the bearings (2 per side) and assembled the hubs, got 'er all bolted together. New vs. old. Good stuff.



I'm sure everyone's not in love with the disk brakes, but I plan on driving this car a good amount, hopefully it'll have some power, and I don't feel like messing with drums.

Then we took the cab off the frame and got started on the small stuff. Removing all of the mechanical brake components, such as all of the levers and pivots.



And then I started tackling the rivets on the stepboard mounts.



More pics to come later!

Ha I'd much rather have the disc brakes than those old drum brakes
