Bread & Butter 27 Ford Project

I worked on the trim piece for the windshield last night. I have about 3/4" gap between the windshield and the post. The post is hollow so I can't put a rubber strip on it for a filler. I made a piece of trim out of some soft pine last night. The post has a goofy contour to it on one side. I worked and worked on it trying to get it perfect. After getting close and thinking about having to make another one I pitch the idea and figured I was over thinking it. So I grabbed another piece and fired up the saws. I got it really close. Close enough that I was sanding the wood to poly it. I stuck it up to the car and took a good look.

It looked like crap!

After looking at it for about 30 minutes I came to realize I really don't care if it has a filler piece in it or not. The windshield is always going to be kicked open and with it in there it looks like I'm trying way too hard. It's staying the way it is!

Looks like it's getting time to do a little work on this buggy. It will be slow for now but I'm going to hit it hard right after Christmas.

Sounds like a great plan!!

bet my mama's truck drives before yo mama's!!! LOL

I don't have much luck collecting my bets from other club members when we do that. It's not from me loosing either.

Too many things going on... Poor baby just sits in the garage waiting patiently to be worked on..

Was just wondering about this build last night. Hey at least your toys are in the same state that you are. I'm not that lucky yet.

On hold for a while.

Since we are moving the T will have to go out to the property soon. We swapped the cheater slicks for radials for a while. We were worried about flat spot and dry rot.

Amy shot some Son of a Gun on them to protect them a little.


Then wrapped them up for storage until we get another garage built.

You had a chance to get one down there back in november,you have 8 months to get some money saved to get one driven down to you.

If you come down this way let me know. Would like to meet up some where. Maybe get some grub?

I'm up here now, and damn it's cold.

I am ready to move to Florida or somewhere warm and dont know if I will be heading down there this year,might take a year off and add cruise control and a new rear window in the 55 before the next trip south

You should have popped in at the meeting. You could have taken home the long haul award.

You picked the coldest day to come up Chris.

Thought about stopping in, but it had been a long drive. As far as the timing goes, the house where the shop is got broken into for a second time and they almost made it through the door in the shop. So I'm up to clean out the shop, and haul at least the 55 home. Might try to get the 47 home to but not sure. (It's in a safe place at least) Gona be a lot of fun in this Ohio spring weather.....lol

If you need a hand with anything just yell.

That is cool Chris!
Glad to see you made it up there! Looking forward to checking out that 55.

If you need any help Steve with the move gimem a shout. I am off on Fridays and Sundays (got church until 12:30 or so).

Later,

Lee

Thanks Lee. Just say a prayer for me at church will be more than enough.

Some inspiration...
