I needed some wheels welded awhile back so I took them to my mechanic. While there, a hot-rodder and I got to talking. He ended up commissioning me to put in a floor and walls in the trunk of his '39 Ford hot rod. This is just ply, Bondo, and epoxy, but it still is a bit of a fun project for a Saturday (actually, any day of the week!). The ply panels will be upholstered in scarlet red; the existing grey upholstery will also be redone in red.
I took a bunch of photos of the car knowing both of you might enjoy it :) Oddly enough, I forgot to take pictures when the floor was done, but we've seen enough ply, haven't we?

Naturally, I like woodworking as a hobby, but an ice hockey tournament will easily get me out of the shop :)

Are my speakers broken? Seems like this video must have some Beach Boys behind it. :)
Ha ha, good one...
I never did pop the hood for a photo. When he picked up the car, he said he'd bring it back for follow-up pictures of the upholstered trunk and some of the engine. It's a big 350 with racing modifications. I might film it instead so he can give the engine tour.
