 1933 Ford Fordor Sedan #14: Assembly done awaiting the glue to dryAssembly done awaiting the glue to dry so I can apply the finish. Two or Three coats of Homemade Wipe-On-Poly using 30% Tung Oil; 40% Clear Satin Polyurethane; 30% Mineral Turpentine mixed well. 1933 Ford Fordor Sedan #13: Ebonizing the tyres, first timer.Ebonizing the tyres, first timer. And mistakes were made, yes. You have to use Super Fine 0000 Steel Wool as the standard hardware steel wool doesn’t devolve. After watching a couple of videos I decided make a brew of strong black tea to prep the timber. I let the tyres dry then applied a coat of the white vinegar and steel wool solution. 1933 Ford Fordor Sedan #12: Trying to get the front view correctTrying to get the front view correct I’ve add some timber to do the inner flare on the front mudguards, then did a lot of hands free shaping. The headlights position was too high but with some more shaping I’ve managed to lower them. 1933 Ford Fordor Sedan #11: Progress MockupProgress Mockup I’m still working things out as I go finding little bits and pieces plus modifications I need to do. 1933 Ford Fordor Sedan #10: These headlights look way biggerThese headlights look way bigger so on went the thinking cap again. I found some 1” dia headlights on Bearwood but shipping to Australia isn’t cheap along with a very poor exchange rate. Make them! A craft bead + a tiny wooden spoon + a piece of dowel. They still need some shaping and sanding but they’re okay 1933 Ford Fordor Sedan #9: This has been one tricky little part to make.This has been one tricky little part to make. A set horns. Started with a bead filling in the hole. Sanded one side flat enough to accept a piece orf 1/2” dowel which I’d drill a 3/16” hole before gluing in place. Once all was held together I shaped the dowel and glued in the top of a wooden golf tee. 1933 Ford Fordor Sedan #7: Mudguards (Fenders) and Running BoardsMudguards (Fenders) and Running Boards… The timber is furniture grade Australian Red Cedar…. 1933 Ford Fordor Sedan #6: Windscreen, dashboard and seatsThe windscreen was done twice as the first one done in Jarrah snapped so the second is American Walnut. The dashboard is also American Walnut on a firewall of Gidgee. The dash needs a steering wheel which will be made using a Dutch wooden button plus a glove box and gear shift level to be completed. The seats are Australian Red Cedar which I had to made twice also thanks to mis-measurements. They will have a small plinth underneath them to raise them which will make the position... 1933 Ford Fordor Sedan #5: And now for the engine and radiator....And now for the engine and radiator…. Again using the Dutchy blog/plans as the base I worked out the rough measurements for the engine and bonnet [hood]. I didn’t have the correct size timber so made a block to suit from a piece of Huon Pine for the sides and a butterflied piece of Gidgee for the bonnet [hood]. The Huon Pine was chosen on purpose as it will/should make the carving of the bonnet side fins easier… The radiator on the Ford is shaped like a s...
