Nope, at one time was thinking of making it a tandem but went for a nice summer driver that I could drag race and show every once in a while.

What did the old door look like? Looks like you have a nasty old brake job going on as well. I like the heater you have.

All new rims and tires (original are bios-ply on split rims), back brakes (drums and shoes), rebuilding the PTO pump for the dump bed,tune up, and some small electrical repairs.Shop is a mess right now,been real busy for the last 2 weeks so haven't had a chance to clean up.
I'll take a pic of the old door tomorrow.

That door isn't to bad. That door could be fixedA replacement door was the better way to go.
Ya but what is your time worth compared to the cost of the replacement. Now you can have a spar to work on whenever.

the pic's don't do it justice, the bottom door skin is rotted up to the bottom hinge. I originally did a quick repair with JB Weld and RTV to keep it together, the metal around the lower hinge gone, it's being held in place by the inner hinge plate. yeah I could have repaired it but I would never get the lower body line correct.

Started working on the hood today striping off the 3 coats of old paint.

The rear air lines are reversed (right side feeds left bag) to have enough hose to not bind or crimp.
So I have a choice of the direction I can put my "hood scoop" on. Not sure if I should do it scoop style or cowl induction style. let me know what you think.

Cowl induction style
Scoop forward, louvers backward. IMO.

Is "hood scoop" in quotations because it will be non-functional? If so, I'd say the cowl induction look is best. If it will be functional, I like the forward scoop look; it's just so awesome!Originally Posted by Fordubishi

I seen the plate on that Ford you're working on... got strangely excited there for a moment...

Face it forward; it's not long enough to be a good cowl induction scoop, and it will work better if its functional. Look at my gallery pics to see what I mean.

After playing around with it for a while the "scoop" didn't look right as it was to small.Desided to go "cowl" style,It is functional sort of. The air cleaner hits the cross bracing so with the scoop I'm able to cut the bracing out and put a small hole in the hood to let heat out and clear the air cleaner.

the scoop is off a 1976 Mustang II
I know, face it backward and put it on the roof. Then you can call it a vent.
Now she is starting to take shape.
