Bracing Up the T's Cockpit (Making it Stronger and Less Floppy!)
Bodywork and alignment continue on my 1927 Ford Model T touring hot rod on a Model A frame with an 8BA flathead V8! This time I start fixing the damage to the driver's compartment and use my new shrinker/stretcher stand to make bracing to straighten and strengthen the body of the car! So follow along as I get my remade cowl and firewall section (at least partially) reattached to the sub frame... and maybe subscribe to the channel if you haven't already!
Plenty of challenges to face when building a low budget hot rod project so subscribe an follow along and learn from my mistakes! (Believe me, I make plenty of ‘em!)

About me:
After some MAJOR life changes I'm finally working on my hot rod!
And yes, I mean hot rod. Not a street rod, not a rat rod. HOT ROD!
I'll be building this as a traditional build but not to a single time period. I'm building a car that would have been constantly modified from the 40's in to the 60's. My goal is to use all parts from before 1966 (the year I was born).

Thanks, just wish it would shape up more quickly!
Your shop is so much like my own situation. Not enough room to use any decent equipment. I like your shrinker stretcher setup

It would be nice to have more space but the truth is I’d just fill that up too 🤣. And thanks about the shrinker/stretcher, it actually works pretty good so I’m happy with my design.
It’s always satisfying when oil canning is resolved in older sheet metal. I have the same issue with the back of my bucket. Was thinking of making a whole new panel from scratch with bead rolling to stiffen everything up. Now I might try your approach. Also I’ve seen where other people cover that back edge with upholstery in a tuck and roll pattern. Not sure if that would fit your esthetic. Just some food for thought. Love seeing the progress.

Thanks, I was actually surprised when the oil canning stopped, this is my first time trying to do real bodywork. I’m planning on making my own molding around the back of the cockpit so I want the painted edge to show so I won’t be bringing upholstery over the lip.
