Here is the third installment of the shop truck build, and as rough as this thing looks the sheet metal work needed is really pretty minor. In this video you’ll see a couple panels get made, some swings of the BFH to “straighten” a few things out, and a bit of welding. All in all this thing is really starting to come together. Check it out.
The more I watch Iron Trap videos the more I want to build a 1920-1940 hot rod. They seem so simple and bare-bones if you want them to be and that means that you can put one together pretty quickly if you have the right parts and pieces laying around. Since the Iron Trap gang does, this cool shop truck project should be pretty simple and straight forward for them to get up and running. It’s especially nice since it is going to be a shop truck and not something that has to be super clean and finished when done.
That doesn’t mean it won’t be cool though! Check out video one of this project. There is more to come and you’ll dig it.

Video Description:
While our 1928 Ford Roadster Pickup appears to be in really rough shape, the metal is solid on 90% of the car. There are some small areas that need attention, and the majority is the rear floor. The panel under the seat frame, and just behind it are rotted out due to the large mouse nest that was under the seat. Luckily the frame work for the seat is in decent shape and does not need any repair. Matt works on making patch panels for the both areas, and flips the cab on the back panel to straighten it out. Im sure this truck was used as a farm truck at some point and the bed was pushed up into the back of the cab. After some hammering and welding the cab is back on the frame and ready for the next project!!
