This is Joey's 1930 Ford Tudor parked at one of our car shows. Joey called me one day to tell me that he needed new hinge pins installed . . . what we found was much more. We brought the car in to check the door hinge pins but they were ok. We made some body adjustments and the doors lined up perfectly. Within an hour, the doors sagged back down. We had to dig deeper and this is what we found. When the car was built, floor supports were removed for one reason or another. Additiionally, the rockers on both sides were gone. We had to rebuild. There wasn't really a good place to start as there wasn't a lot of good original metal to work with. As you can see, we removed most of the interior before we started to cut, grind and weld. What you can't see is that we made a tent with our fire blankets in the car to keep from burning anything. Afterall this is a "finished" car. We welded in some heavy supports and temporarily layed out the rocker pieces. The rockers were made and welded into place. Triangular gussets were made out of 12ga metal to support the b-piller at the support. The flooring was reinstalled, the body adjusted and all lines are great. While the car was in the shop, Joey decided to have us rewire the car. We started to pull the panels off and wait until you see what we found. This isn't too bad, but it all must come out. Look at the back of this fuse panel !!!! This was a fire waiting to happen. The American Autowire Highway 22™ was installed after all of the wire was stripped from the car. This is a shot of the headlight and turn signal circuits with new wire and sockets. I couldn't tell yo how many butt connectors, in-line fuses and taped wires we removed. Here is a nice close-up of the new wiring. This is the gauge cluster mess . . . unfortunately I did not take a picture of how it looked after being re-wired . . . I guarentee that is was much better than this. Another addition . . . Vintage Air was installed. I didn't like the way the hoses were exposed under the dash so we made a false firewall panel out of sheetmetal to cover it and make it nice and smooth for the upholstery. This is all of the pictures that we have of Joey's car. This is one of the problems with trying to get things done . . . we forget to take pictures some times.
