Finishing Up The Cowl on the 1936 Ford Roadster

Finishing Up The Cowl on the 1936 Ford Roadster

In this video I get the cowl mostly buttoned up, welded, cowl feet installed and wood installed. progress is steady on the 36 roadster and its all looking good! thank you for watching!

It's OK you don't explain everything. You do so much already and the details you discuss and actually showing what you are doing are really appreciated. You fix stuff right even what won't be seen because you have a conscience. Quite unlike someone else I watched before that would use new steel when needed but was really a hack. I have been binge-watching your stuff and I truly enjoy and appreciate your passion in your work.

I've been noticing how much easier it is to fix rust with the car this far apart. It really makes sense. Keep up the awesome work.

With roadsters it's definitely faster to blow them apart. It's technically more work, but being able to fix parts individually on the bench saves so much time.

Hi Travis

The car is looking good as you finish of each step the car gets one step closer to being finished.

[chrisschofield]

😂 I like your “Hang 10” feet on intro.

[robertpeeler]

I have a 36' 5 window project at home and this series has been VERY inspirational. Keep up with the great content.

Thanks for showing your “dumb a$$” moments, makes me feel better about all my screw ups! On the dash wood I’d just notch it like you said and then glue in filler pieces of wood with Titebond III

14:48 Plug the two original holes with dowels and wood glue.

After taking it all apart I want to see how well the doors fit ? Good luck .

The biggest possible problem with complete disassembly is keeping everything square during repairs. It's real easy to get out of alignment. That car has so many poor patches it almost has to be better than when it rolled in the shop no matter what.

Great progress, it's much more relatable when you can admit you screwed up and welded in the cowl hinge before putting in the wood framing, kind of a "hey, that's something *I* would do" thing. Was the carriage bolt supposed to go through those premade footer brackets? When you explained how they fit I thought "I'm surprised they didn't come predrilled for the carriage bolt"...

[randyellis]

have you looked at the spot welder that is at harbor freight ? might be worth looking into.

[davidmiller]

Two part epoxy works much better than weld thru. Many auto manufacturers tell you not to use weld thru. I never use it.

[davemoulding]

You better learn to use weld threw primer to protect all the hidden bare metal or all your working
For nothing going to rust out again, and I hope owner of that car reads this .

[nissmoguy]

im having a adhd panic attack i may not sleep tonight after seeing no weld through primer applied between the repaired sandblasted sheetmetal

[WildBillFlysRC]

Did I hear that correctly? you are puttting wood back in the car? looking great btw!

[johnkelly]

I hope whoever makes the wood for these bodies does a better job than what you have to use on the Model A coupe bodies. Literally every piece had to be modified to get to fit.

[davemoulding]

If the owner was smart you should have shit can that wood and welded in steel to make the door jam/ hinge pillar stronger, and you should of put the doors on line gaps up tack welded in place then, fit everything to cowl after you spraying weld threw primer over all parts .
