Ford Model A Pickup Restoration October 2006
In October I had not very much time to work on my Ford. I had also other jobs to do like searching where I can get some parts.
Until now I have only installed my front brake rods. For my last test drive this year I wanted to activate also the rear brake. Since the the rod did not fit with the anti rattler, I had to remove some material with a Dremel and repaint the rod.
On my Tips & Tricks site you can find a new topic which describes how I mix 2k colors for spot repairs like the one above. See Color mixing .
Another task was to prepare some wooden test samples like this one where I will test the behavior of the glue, sanding surfacer and color during the cold wintertime.
This sample is sanded now and will be painted later. In spring I will see if the products I'm testing are good enough for my Model A.
This pear tree had lot of pears this year and this was too much weight for one branch. That's the reason why a branch on the left hand side has broken.
Since I was looking for a suitable piece of wood for my sheet metal jobs, I decided to use a part of the branch for that purpose.
Without the bark it is perfect for this job.
These are aluminum panels which will be used inside the cabin on the floor.
It has exactly the same pyramid shape like the originals on the car.
This is the aluminum angle profile from the running board. I'm still searching where I can get this type of angle profile.
