“Ugly as sin”. The handy work of a friend who came over the other night.

I rolled some beads into the back back floor Pam of Bettie yesterday, then welded it back in. The NOS part my buddy sold me won’t work with the new rear end portion of the frame. So I now have more extra pieces to try and sell later. Today before class I get to play with fire and try to arch my rumble seat deck lid more to get it to fit on one side.—————————————- ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #welding #welder #sandiego #poway

One of the things I was up to yesterday was finishing my grill shell. It’s been cut in half for months and I finally decided to trim the pieces down and put it back together. Tomorrow I’m going by a metal yard to get some perforated sheet metal to use as a #grill. ————————————— ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #welding #welder
