Just joined the forum here from Connecticut and wanted to say hello. I have been restoring vehicles for too many years now and doing all kinds of metalshaping and welding. When I figure out how to post photos I will share some of my shop and various projects.

I am also working on a 1936 Ford. It is a 1936 Ford Fire Truck, doing the job for the original fire house that purchased it new in 36. I do a lot of military vehicle restorations as well as early Willys Jeep vehicles. Just finished up a 1946 Willys CJ2A and have a 53 willys pick up to do some work on next.

Going to try and post some photos of one of my projects. Every piece that you see of the steel body tub I had to fabricate. Should give you an idea of the type of metalshaping I do.

Damn fine work, Metalshaper!
I don't know if I'd have the patience to duplicate metal like that, or even the patience to research the original drawings. Add to that, they stamped 'em out in 100T presses, and you did it one-off!
Kudos!

Uploading pics is covered under the "instructions" topic, but if you have trouble, speak up.jwmacawful wrote:be prepared for problems if you're thinking about up-loading picturesmetalshaper wrote:Just joined the forum here from Connecticut and wanted to say hello.

It could be simpler, but it's not that complicated.

I just got in to the forum for the first time. I guess it is coincidence that in the responses to a post are a bunch of pictures of a 1946 Jeep. I got and began work on my 1947 Jeep in 1969. The first order of business was cutting the cowl at the seam behind the fenders. The rear floor rust free because of a leaky rear seal on the transfer case was saved, all else was replaced with 16 gauge "boiler plate". Lots of Jeeps have come and gone perhaps 20 the '47 is still here and my favorite. The picture without paint was a walk down memory lane. Thanks.
