Default Lincoln Project

I've been working on this project for a few months now with a few interuptions so it's been slow progress. I was able to get back on it after Dan's Minn. gathering.

The car is solid for some, and rusty for others.... It has typical rust in the rear of the front fenders and rear quarter, and some floor issues. The driver side though looks like it it scrubbed a bridge or something at one time and some crude repaires were done....

I reskined the rear door due to damage and rust. Here is the skin I removed.

This is the mud ooozing through the holes from the puller

I was lucky. The inner structure was fairly solid. Just 2 areas had to have metal replaced. Here

And here





Installed

I skinned the door right up to the detail line at the top. I didn't take a bunch of pictures doing the skin because it's been covered here I'm sure. I had to remove the inner support inside of the door to work out the distortion from the weld (spot welds on the ends)

Wish I had more (and better) pictures because it really turned out good.

Next was the door jam and inside wheel well rust. I Took a picture of the good side.

I made a hammerform using the right side as a pattern. Most of the inside detail I chased in using wide chisels and wood corking tools.



There was all kinds of rust in behind the jam in the structure.



More.....



I ended up cutting the bigger peice in the hing pocket and peicing it out to get a better fit. Here I turned the end up and made the flange that gets spot welded to the jam.

I know it looks crude.... And it is, but it all gets covered up in the end.

I did some cleanup on the inner panels and sealed it up with some POR. The welding burned alot of it up. I use a straw in the end to squirt more in when finished.

I made sure the hinges and door cleared the new panel.

More to come.

Bad assumption. Even though it may have been covered, I assure you that the current readers would still find it interesting. FEW people use the search function or look back in the forum for older posts. Most just read the current stuff so you really can't post stuff too many times.

You can bookmark threads you want to be able to return to and save them in your browser favorites in a 'metalshaping' folder. The Vbulletin software we use doesn't have anything like you describe.

At the top of the thread under "Thread Tools" you can subscibe to a thread. Then in your profile page it shows all the threads you have subscribed to. Just click on the one you want to look at.

Your right Kerry, maybe I should have just said I slacked off on the pictures. It's hard for me to put things down and snap pictures sometimes. I don't know what it is, maybe it breaks my rythm.
