Demolition day on the 1938 Ford 😱 (don't be mad at us)

[@williamdenny891]

Yeah but he handed over the cash for it and it's his. It's a great car but it's his great car. Sentiment [which I have] aside it's just a hunk of metal. I don't have the resources or interest to save great cars so he gets to do what he likes best and we get to see the creative results. I seem to remember he offered to sell one great car for a fair price but there were no takers. While he leaves many projects 'in progress' there will come a time [he's already selling a few] when they will get sold and finished to put wide smiles on many faces. Can you imagine all the heads that will turn when they see that 2-dr Thunderbird at a car show or driving down the road? Gonna confuse the stuffing out of some of us old buzzards who remember them going to 4 dr in 1958.

[@jlb99999]

Do it up the way you want to, plenty of stock and resto 38s still on the road. I cut the top off a 46 Mercury that was a shell on a rolling chassis, lots of rust. I looked at a real convertible to see how the door top trim inside looks like and mimicked it. Made a Carson top just like you said after building a custom package tray area. By building up support inside you can eliminate door sag, I used sheet metal and made the area between the passenger area and trunk solid sheet metal again for support. You could slant the whole windshield frame back 1-2” at the top that will allow the Carson top to look like you chopped it without sacrificing forward vision. Cheers!

[@lalul11164]

@@dbabb2484 Yes, and many of those heyday customs didn't age well either. Not that it mattered so much in past decades as available cars and trucks were plentiful and dirt cheap, as was often the case for time and materials to do the work. Subjecting a custom car to real world roads in this country will soon reveal where over-stressed metal and forced and patched up joints rapidly develp cracks and other faults. Extremes in weather conditions and ever increasing UV factors can play hell on ones handy work. I guess it depends a lot on careful and detailed planning and competant workmanship and what the ultimate goal is -- does one want a show room model or trailer queen, or a daily driveable vehicle?? I guess all are legitimate goals but sound planning and forsight is required in any case in order to achieve the desired goal.
