Tony's 40 ford

About this time Tony showed up for a visit. Since he was happy with how it all looked so far I cut the top off right before his eyes.

There's still quite a bit of work to do on the doors to get rid of the sedan and make them convertible.

We'll start with a patch to the "A" pillar side of the door.

Then a patch for the "B" pillar side of it.

And since we're on a roll, we'll make one for the front part of the quarter panel. This one was a little tricky because the outside edge has a bow to it and the inside edge has a 90 degree bend. I did it by rolling the curve first, then shrinking the edge that would get the 90 degree bend, that gave me the bow that I needed. Then I trimmed the shrunken edge straight and bent the 90 degree bend in a small bench top sheet metal break.
