Here is a little thread showing the progress of the restoration I am currently working on. It is a 1950 Ford Tudor Sedan. It had the numbers matching 239 Flathead V-8 and all of the original parts with it when it came to the shop. The guy that owns the car had it CHEAPLY painted 5 years ago and then lost interest in it...it sat in an open floor barn ever since. /facepalm
Since receiving the car we have pulled the body and completely stripped the frame. The engine is at Quality being rebuilt and is having hardened seats installed for the exhaust valves(pump gas ftw). It will also be receiving a new ADJUSTABLE valvetrain...thank god.
Here are some progress pics:

Been sitting here on pallets since...gotta find time to strip everything off so it can go get new paint. It will be brought down to bare metal this time so we know if it needs any patch panels. It definitely needs floor pans.

Here's the frame right before pulling the motor

Tada! Motorless...

Took a Dewalt grinder with a wire cup to it first to get all of the original "undercoat" off of it


Started blasting with all of the suspension under it...less bending over


Then we went and stripped off the suspension and flipped the frame so it could be blasted the rest of the way



There she is...all blasted and ready for powder coat
