Are you planning to take corners from the back of the opposite side (on your spare doors) to make front corners on those rear doors? I wondered when I saw the first picture of the two doors together how you'd do that.
Cool project.
Unless you want to just really not have any plastic filler on the outside (which is cool, too)... I was just thinking on the back doors, too- never occurred to me that the front doors weren't being done perfectly fine. IMHO, this way, you have to cut up two less hard-to-find antique doors, so maybe somebody else could use them. Eh, I'm sure it'll look fine if you have it all lined up, and those weldmates should have done a pretty good job there.
That is going to look so cool once it's done. I'm rooting for you from the other side of the earth- ain't technology grand?
) Yep! Technology is wonderful (my guages arrived from the states today
No sooner had I got them out of the box and left them in the office, someone (from interstate.....Yes, from Castlemaine Simon) they wanted to know about them
I just couldn't part with them. (maybe I should have bought 2 sets)
No looking at a column. Been on the Flaming River site.
Auto tilt column, with all the extras including cruise sounds the go
Pays to get two, when selling of the second you pay for the 1st set
Who has been over your way
) ) is an early version on the dash as nothing was about at the time to suit my column.Kym sure does some miles. If you look at the topic on the Garage crawl you will see plenty of photos of his pickup.
As for the column have you contacted AOI ? I was told by them back in January at the melb rod Show they planned to do a Hot Rod Column.
Plenty of good Cruise control stuff about now. Mine (sadly
(I'll try again later))
)
I like the gauges you have chosen. Looking good
Keen to see what the bed will look like. Can you tell us more about that front end now ?
))) and dropped them into work for me, so I can take them to Adelaide in the morning so the machining of the hubs can start (or at least I can get in line )
What do you use? Leading? Gotta have something for those areas where you put 2 pieces of metal together - invariably there's going to be some need for a skim coat somewhere.Oh! by the way...........I don't use filler
So you don't use primer's then,what do you use under the top coats.I am a carpainter by trade and when you say you dont use fillers is a bit silly as primers are fillers as they fill all the file and sanding marks.Why don't you just say you dont use bog or lead and then smart idiots like me won't say silly things back, The truck looks great and you are doing a fantastic job on it.Oh! by the way...........I don't use filler

well I hope you look at the links even though they may not help you with hood hinges you may get some ideas. even for that trailer Oh, OK. Hood hinges
) I will visit maybe the F100 wreckers & see if any of the later column have the shifter plus the extras on them.Still hunting for a column
I think I just want too much on one
If I can make some time on my next trip to the big smoke (even though I have to go tomorrow
Then you need to look for a later Falcon or Territory Column.Thanks Simon, but I am looking for a later column that has everything on it, including cruize..........hopefully
A good Rodder can convert anythingI had a car club through this morning & even though they where a bunch of restoeres, the shop truck created a lot of interest, with planty of questions fielded. Maybe a few converted people there
After spending so much time reading this...I went and asked my wife "What's for supper?" Her reply was...."Why the hell are you speaking with an Australian accent all of a sudden?!" Keep up the good work. A good Rodder can convert anything
)Do you see them in the wreckers now ?
Well just be aware the Brazilian F Series we had here had some problems and that is why Ford Aust did not continue with selling them here. Think local as it is easier for partsI was offered a caddy (or something similar) with cruize on the steering wheel, but the wheel was as ugly as sin (besides, the shift was on the wrong side
When I said a Rodder can convert anything I was refering to the Restorers
I hope all is ok, Family comes 1st.No time for any hunting for bits today while I was in the big smoke (the family medical stuff had to come first) I will return though
