...so our buddy Aaron came over, said he
wanted to chop the top on his '31 project, but needed someone to weld it. We
said sure. Here's how we found it, minus 6". |

|
|
|
|
Here's how we got it...The top was tacked on.
We also need to fab some type of trunk. The original rumble seat was cut out
by the former owner (probably during or right after WWII), |

|
First thing, brace it up. |
...someday... |
Lots of rust holes. |
|
|
|
|
|
The first one fixed. |
Neighbor Mark coming to check progress. |
Top removed. Quite a bit of work to get it
leveled out. |

L.F. A Pillar is back together. And no, they
are not straight |
Here is the other side. There was a rust
hole, looked like a |

|
|
Rear of cab...a couple cuts to make things
line up. |
12-14-08...Corner pieces made for the new
trunk area. |
Close up...doesn't look like much, but quite
a bit of forming |
|
|
|
|
|
Fill panel made between two corner pieces. |
Lower trunk area. I formed up a box and put a
slight |
Wider view of trunk area. I will make the
side pieces next, |
|
|
|
|
|
Left side trunk piece mocked up. |
Here it is, tacked in. Right side is rough
fabbed. |
Door frames will need a little work. Too much
was cut out |
|
|
|
|
|
Body fab is complete. I will build the trunk
lid after |
Another view...I just need to finish weld the
roof, and |
Here is the top back on. |

Top door hinge with door closed...looks like
it is working. |
Hinge is cut at the A pillar and tacked back.
