'48 Ford Woody Tudor

[Intmd8r]

Satisfied with how the "A" pillars came out,

Going to finish off the "C" pillars/hatch next.  Light coat of primer after that and then we'll see how much clean up is left after the body mods.

That's one thing I have yet to do, chop a top. I've been wanting to try it but not just for its own sake. Maybe I should take one of my junk bodies and give it a whack  so to speak.

Yours is coming along nicely, the A pillars look perfect.

like what you are doing here.   I'm building a 41 woody which i have chopped, sectioned and left 4 doors.   I messed up my a pillars and cowl and cut out this section of a 48 ford to correct things.   Even managed to have the same chop height.   Like how you fixed your A pillars.  Will be watching this one.   Here is mine.    Very rough and needing a lot of work but it's slowly coming along.

Thanks David. I’ve had practice with other failed projects. Learned some lessons along the way. Always start off with a spare body lol.

That seems like a challenging build.  Haven’t tried sectioning a body yet. Do you  have a link to your project? I’m interested in tips for a future project.
I like how the hood turned out.

Wow! Cool profile.

It kind of reminds me of a torpedo.

Here's some progress pics of the rear hatch.

I'm liking the new profile .

Yes the 41 has been a challenging build and i haven't started a thread on this build.   This has been a long term project.  Was my first sectioning attempt and a four door body wasn't the best choice to start with.   I sectioned it by removing parts of the wood frame running from the A pillar back.   If you look at a stock body it's where the door handles are that i sectioned.  Easier to section where the body is most vertical.      The hood has been challenging as well,  I believe that is properly my third attempt at it.   Needs  work to fit but it's coming along,  will also mean adjusting the cowl as well.   One thing i find hard bout sectioning is getting the hood right.   I like how the 48 ford kit has 2 hoods.   I have a 53 Ford Pick up work in progress build on here and I've shown my sectioning techniques there which my interest you.

Laid down a light coat of primer this morning to help me identify better the areas that need a little more attention.

Glad I did - still some more work to do.

Ultimately pleased with the progress so far.

I like the lean, mean look with the way you did the roof.

That's coming along well Steve ?

Top of the rear, needs a bit of work, looks like it needs a panel....

Keep it going
