Now the body reveal. Clamp down and beat it with a hammer. Don't forget a left and a right ;-)

Clamped the sides all together and started grind them all so they are all exactly the same.

Top profile cut out.

Making a pattern for the body reveal next up is the actual labour for that :-)

Picked up a subfloor to copy and get measurements Now the first decision. I was originally planning to copy a model A frame. Then the daydreaming started. Now I decided to build my own 32 ford frame. So I found a blueprint of a 32 ford frame. Blew the side profile up and printed it on 16...

So I went out and bought a 1930 ford model A coupe body. It has been chopped 3 inches already. The job was a crappy chop so I will have to redo that in the future. I have myself a 4 inch dropped I beam axle with disc brakes. Planning to use an overdrive a833 that I have sitting on shelf...

Been waiting for the dart to return from paint so I have been a keyboard commando in my boredom. I stumbled on a listing for a 30 model a 5 window coupe body for sale. Low and behold it was a mile up the road and I didnt know it. I really wanted a model a truck but this will be cool too. Plans...

Dartie is now green. Waiting for the buff and cut now. Then it should be back for assembly Painter said it is probably the brightest colour he has ever painted 6

I have my 340 block at the machine shop. (Again) They machined the deck and noticed some plugs in the deck which he assumed were coolant passages. Is this normal? Or did someone do something strange? I have not been at machine shop to look or take a pic. Maybe next week I can swing out that way...
