steveplym Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 That is looking really nice Joel. Looks like you got a good helper there. Good help is hard to find these days, especially help that wears a spiderman jacket. Quote
Joel Torres Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 ok don't get mad i post the rest of my progress on the hamb as i know those guys cut cars up allot and weld them back so at the stage im at i posted it there and will need some feed back from the custom car builders not that anyone here is not qualified to jump in on ideas http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=346922 Quote
55 Fargo Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Your doing great, this is a very big/extensive project, lots of work inthese dang rust repairs. My 47 Coupe needed rockers, and outer floor support fixes too, not the extent of yours, but lots. My car was really a trip away from the scrap yard, but once this stuff is done, it's all behind yyou. The square tube steel will last forever and it's strong as hell.......Fred Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 ok started making toe boards im using scrap metal as im laid off and can't buy new stuff right now i have to tighten the belt Quote
woodscavenger Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 I love the Protonix pad you used. I'd have bad heartburn too if I had that much body rot to deal with. Although my 47 IHC truck may have about that much. Quote

greg g Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Joel, good progress man. Got a question for you. What ever became of the Packard you looked at a couple years ago??? And I believe you were the one who posted the pic of a Specially bodies Desoto Coupe that you had seen, Did that ever get sold, or is it still sitting where you saw it??? Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 i own the packard 1938 super 8 that desoto is probably still out east at the end of long island on the north fork Quote
