1936 Ford Roadster Custom Firewall Install

I am really pleased with how this whole cowl section is coming out. I only have a few more things to button up with the cowl and its all set and ready for doors to be hung.
Thank you for all the support

Ok so when I have to fill a bunch of holes I build a plug punch . Just weld 2pieces of 1/2 ''' plate together along one side with a gap for18 gauge to sandwich between. Than drill a hole the needed size of blank threw both plates then fallow up with a die made from a rod / bolt stock of the same size and drive it threw the die to make your plug /blank . Cheers .

Good job. Considering that this car was built the year I was born you're doing an amazing job of restoration.

The holes on the driver's side may have been at some point in last 80 years drilled for a radio antenna

My OCD let out a big sigh when I saw the peaks of the FW stampings line up with the point of the cowl vent. Nice-NICE! Also, as someone with only mig experience, I was surprised to see the FW stamping die holes TIG welded up without a copper backing. Was that because the holes were small enough or because it's not needed on TIG welding?

Looks great! Btw the end of a hardened Pullmax die makes for a really good Bucking Bar for doing rivits.

A heavier bucking bar would make your life easier. Great video.

This has to be one of your nicest fabrication/repair jobs.

Love watching the rivet installs. Really keeps the character of the car.

I wonder how difficult it would be to fabricate a holder that would be mounted to your vice grips and also held one contact on your spot welder, then you could just clamp and line up the other side push and pull the trigger and repeat.

Great videos to watch.

I’ve only ever seen spot welders that clamp. Do you have a link to the one you use. It looks much more practical when it’s difficult to reach either side.
