Moving the body to the new Jig! It works! Building a Model A Hot Rod from rusty junk!

[@marionwagaman8353]

I like your show

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Thank you!

[@MyronKirchhevel-qm5cn]

Looks good.

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Thanks!

[@78dwk]

That turned out great, it sure will make your life alot easier ,Godbless

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Thank you, and now that it’s done, I realize that I should have done this a lot earlier in the build. It is definitely helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@BoxcarsGarage]

Oh that will be handy! Good job.

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

I think so! Thanks!

[@randiegadberry5448]

Keep working on the coupe.

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Sounds like a plan!

[@briansaier4929]

Those wood blocks look easy to duplicate, you should make a few sets for the projects you have waiting in the wings

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

I'm thinking about making a set out of steel for the car when it goes on the 32 frame. So these wood blocks might only ever be used for the jig.

[@IowaMercMan]

@@phillipshotrodgarageI made my blocks from high density polypropylene. Plastic, basically but will hold the load of the body. Won’t squeak, rust, rot, or break. I found a scrap chunk on eBay large enough to do my Model A pickup for $25. Used a table saw and router to machine the plastic blocks.

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Sounds interesting, I’ll have to look for some of that material.

Wow Philip look at that great to see ya got it done nice to see Jared bk helping again made it go together and it worked great so looks like time to getter done ya got this so from Canada 🇨🇦 SK later 😊 mine is getting moved to better part of shop the guys put beams up too make bigger hole for the 28 Essex too slide threw better hopefully by next weekend it will have new home to start working on it minus 20 here this morning brr hits coming later

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Maybe you’ll get to do some work on it soon. Stay warm up there. I’ve been to Canada one time, and it was too cold for me LOL.

[@briansaier4929]

Yippie !!

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Yaaaay!

[@steveroberts4762]

Kinda makes you appreciate the pit crews in NASCAR. 😅

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Right haha!

[@tradrodsandcustoms]

Great vid! Wish you were closer, i have a line on the exact same 5 window youve got but with almost no rust...1800 😅

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Why can’t I find deals like that? Man, we never find coupes around here for that price

[@tradrodsandcustoms]

@@phillipshotrodgarage its not on the market. Hidden in a hoard in eastern washington

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

I paid more for this pile of scrap metal I'm working on.

[@tradrodsandcustoms]

@@phillipshotrodgarage i know man... its a hobby where networking and dumb luck pay off. Hell, there was a 32 ford pickup on marketplace out here for 800 bucks recently

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Yea, that's pretty crazy there. But, you get lucky sometimes and stumble up on something nice and cheap.

[@1fknhpycmpr355]

That sure is a nice jig/body cart! Sometimes you just have to do some sideprojects to move on with the actual build. Done that, been there etc. Just wondering are you going to use the wood blocks, when mounting the body on 32 frame? I know that there is that body to frame welting on 32's, instead of wood blocks, so that made me curious how you are going to do that. I dont have any opinion where to go next with bodywork. I suggest that you start something that feels right to do at this point.

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

I’m not sure on the body blocks right now. I might make some out of a different type material. Either way, I’ll have to put welt between them, but the welt won’t extend the length of the frame. It will only be where the blocks are. My plan is to create brackets on the 32 fram that will allow the model A to bolt on using the stock body mounting locations. Hopefully that will work.

[@1fknhpycmpr355]

@@phillipshotrodgarage This will be interesting. I have seen different body style model A's on 32 rails, so there is nothing new with that. But the new thing will be how the body is mounted on 32 rails. Keep up the good work!

[@bobgaylord8883]

Nice work, Phillip ! If you're wantingto take a break from the Model A, weren't you going to do some work on the V8 flattie ?

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

I'm going to have a video up soon on the flathead engine! It won't be too long!

[@raymondantonio4145]

Turned out really good Phillip, wheels around very easily! Were you planning on using a Model A frame for that coupe or the 32 frame?

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

I’ll be using the 32 frame. I just had to get it back on a model A frame to get the body all situated. I’m going to build mounts for the 32 rails that will use the original Model A body mounting locations everywhere except at the rear where I put in the 32 style subrails.

[@raymondantonio4145]

Ah, I figured that would be the best route to get it all squared up on the Model A frame first and then you can adapt it to whatever frame you’re going to use. Must be nice having another set of hands in your shop, heh? By the way, how big is your shop? You could easily fit at least another half a dozen cars in there! Lol

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

My other set of hands was hired help, as in he wants money for helping LOL. The shop is overall 40x60. The area you see me working in is 40x40.

[@raymondantonio4145]

It’s nice to have a shop big enough to move stuff around and have a couple projects going on at the same time. I moved from a 24x20 two bay garage and had two projects going on and frustrated every day working with no room, I moved up to an 1800 sf shop and am thankful every day for that! Hope you have a great rest of the week Phillip

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

When my old shop burned, and I decided to build a new one, I decided to build what i want. I figured it's a once in a lifetime deal, so if I'm going to finance it and make payments, I might as well be paying for what I want. So, I got myself plenty of room. My old shop was 44x48, so it was a good size building, but the layout wasn't as good as the 40x60 I have now. I enjoy having the space.

Huh? LOL
