Will's Way Garage
Добавлен 26 дек 2007
With no experience and no money, I set out to learn hot rodding from my very own garage. I've dreamed of owning some of the cars I see on TV, at shows, and in my town. I've called in favors, watched videos, read online, and joined clubs to get as much knowledge as I can. Where there's a will, there's a way. Welcome to Will's Way Garage.

Didn't find too many videos on how to handle the windshield frame after doing a Ford Tudor chop. Here's what I ran into and the end result. Custom dual pane glass was cut at the local glass shop to fit perfectly.

Getting the Model A body from bare metal to paint ready. A lot of sanding involved and patience. This process took approximately 3 months to complete. Special thanks to another channel, @BadChad for the lesson in body filler technique. It worked out famously!

Filling Holes in Your Frame Quickly
Просмотров 7033 года назад
In today's video I show a quick hack I found from a community of hot rodders on how to fill unused holes in your frame. My build is going to have a clean smooth look on the outer frame faces so I wanted to clean up all the holes before getting ready for paint. This Ford Model A frame has been through a few iterations I think as there seems to be multiple locations for attaching steering and bra...
Ford Model A Rear Quarter Panel Fabrication
Просмотров 6133 года назад
Taking a different approach on the rear quarter which needs to be heavily modified for a channeled Model A. Instead of cutting into the old fender well, I created a new one to try and give it some "stock" feel. Wider opening than expected to fit the rear caliper of the Ford Explorer rear end in.

Great video
We are going to be building a Model A Sedan, a 1929. We already have 2 hot rods. Like the videos, had to subscribe
Thanks for the suggestion!
Dude that looks so kool!!!!
Thank you! It's been a few years and ultimately the firewall turned out fantastic with paint.
Nice 🎉
What year of s10 frame did you use? I’m trying to rebuild my 49 Chevy and the frame is rusted through
1988
Just subscribed 👍👍I’m building the same truck at the moment .
Would love to see it!
Very Nice !! You wouldnt happen to have a material list list and size ? It would be very helpful to me as I need to build one of these for my 53 Chevy Panel Truck body to sit on while im working on the frame. Id appreciate it very much. Great work and keep making those Videos !!! Thank You.
Hay buddy where do you get the drip rails from thanks
Thanks for watching Harry! Drip rails were from Speedwaymotors.com Part 9111932. 1932 Ford Drip Rails
Sick dude. I'm getting my '30 coupe hot rod "nice" for the last year. Drove her for 6-7years with open bows. Installing a Snyder's top kit very soon & doing the same.
How was the road noise and wind with the open top? I'll be sewing up my own roll back top now that I have a sailrite fabricator in the basement
@@g1gamanx Cool...& running without the roof in pretty much SUCKS.lol. Not so much the noise, but the sun & heat from no wind. This is my second '30-'31 Coupe hot rod. The first one I filled the roof & absolutely loved the tilt out windshield a/c. It felt like a welcomed tornado in the car. Without the roof all of my windshield air goes right up & out the roof hole and ya don't feel any breeze!! Add the sun & you're sitting in an upside down BBQ grille with the bows as the grate. Lol....Btw, over 'bout 55 or so raindrops won't come in the roof hole.lol....VERY MUCH looking forward to having a roof again though. I better go out in the garage & be productive today. Springtime is comin'!!
Oh yeah, thats a lil picture of me sitting in my hot rod, the second one, "sans" roof I've got for my profile picture....
Where do you get the drip rails from ,are they steel thanks
Thanks for watching Harry! Drip rails were from Speedwaymotors.com Part 9111932. 1932 Ford Drip Rails
Thanks Will 😊
That helped me ! I couldn't get the belt line lined up, jacked up slightly in yhe front corner and boom. I appreciate it 🙏
Since I'm a cheap skate I'll use grade 5 bolts 😁
Looking good
Looks great, I have a Model A coupe that had been rolled by a couple of teenagers years ago and I had to realine ever thing, that was a nightmare.
A perfectly good body was still a lot of work. I can't imagine having to realign one without some frame of reference...or literally a good frame for reference :) Appreciate you watching!
H HR
Both my doors are too tight top upper back corners only, paint is rubbing through.
love it wow
Nice looking parts! Shouldn’t the king pin bearing be on top of the axle or is it different for your application?
Good assessment! I wasn't sure myself but the diagram in the manual shows the bearing at the bottom. content.speedwaymotors.com/DigitalAssets/assets/testing/91032115_INS_2021_1.pdf
Dude, that’s NOT the way to pack grease into bearings! Where or who taught you that! Whoever did needs to sell their tools and give up being a mechanic! There are approved ways to pack them. Videos are on RUclips, of all places.
Happy to take a link if you have one. Just about everything I've learned by watching videos as opposed to having an expert at the ready.
Found videos and reviewed at your suggestion. Not filmed, but I had later removed all the bearings and packed them with grease correctly. I noticed in the video it looked like I just dropped it in dry.
Trial & Error is the way we all learn. Your results are beautiful, and hopefully you will try your hand at more painting. Rick
Thanks for the vote of confidence! The body is now in paint and it turned out great
Me podrían orientar donde puedo adquirir uno??
Rafael! Thanks for watching. The parts used in the video are from Speedway Motors in the USA. Search for deluxe spindle kit
Thanks for the video! Going to do the same to my dirty 30 with bags. Just remember that your 4 link arms need to be the same length down to the nuts or it won't work well. Don't your top angle links need to be stretched out more towards the front by your lower arms to form an (A)? Just pointing out that it looks like your jack stands were the old harbor freight specials that give out and kill people. If they are, they are recalled just so you know.
Great feedback, thanks Adam! There is a calculator online that helps determine the correct angles and link lengths, so the top and bottom have a relationship but it isn't always 1:1. As for the stands, they were replaced...good call!
Nice job
Looks good. Keep at it & ENJOY! Stay Real. Rick
thanks for the vote of confidence. building is happening but its some boring stuff with body work
Are you running wheel spacers? I have a 52 on an s10 frame and trying to decide what wheels to run and what back spacing. Like the way your wheels fit. Looks real good.
Oh yes, I had to run 3" wheel spacers on the rear. No wheel spacers on the front. I had purchased the wheels from a guy upgrading his old Camaro so they were definitely not designed for an S10 swap. Had the right bolt pattern and I used spacers to get the stance I wanted. These wheels are Riddler 695 I believe.
Like the whole thing. My son keeps telling me to paint mine white. Looks good. Bagged.....That WILL have to wait. Hope to see you around PA.
What headers did you use ? I see your steering shaft fit thru
Sorry Tim, took a while to find the info. I used Hedman 69520 headers. The driver side has a bump out to fit the steering shaft through. Fits perfect in an AD with no modification to the inner fenders.
Thanks for the video
Hey is it normal for the back of the doors to kind of over lap on the body I have a 1930 just wondering if that's normal
It sure is! One of the unique features of the early ford body. Some people will set them flush like a modern car, but I wanted to keep the overlap. Here's a video where another builder mentions it at 6:40 ruclips.net/video/hLBXCzqeo88/видео.html
I know it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released series online ?
@Uriah Hunter Flixportal :P
@Orion Henrik thank you, signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it!!
@Uriah Hunter glad I could help =)
That's a pretty slick idea. I'm going with the highboy version on my 30 Model A. It's a Fordor with a body by Murray so I'm not sure how a channeled one would look.
Thanks! Would love to see the project hiboy
That repair turned out pretty slick. I have just opposite problem. My dash support is just about mint. The problem is that I don't have a dash. I'm gonna try to make my own we'll see how that goes. If it goes bad where did you get your dash from.? Thanks.
Thanks for watching! I chose the Speedway 1930-31 Dashboard and fits great! I decided not to try and build my own because there are a few long sweeping compound curves that I don't feel comfortable forming with the few tools I have. My next video, I'll try post the mounting of that dashboard to show you where the curves are.
@@g1gamanx Thanks for your reply. I'm gonna try to make my own dash and if it turns out to be a fail Speedway is going to make a sale.
Hell yeah Jer 😊
What fuel pump
Went with a Holley Red electric fuel pump. A little noisy, but pumps the correct pressure to the Edelbrock 1409 carburetor.
Where is your timing set at? Im planing on doing a carb on a vortec real soon and trying to gather all the info i can get.
I'll be honest, I'm a newbie. I set the timing by watching the lifters in cylinder one and figure out top dead center. I then twisted the distributor cap clockwise until the firing sounded right. It took all of maybe 10 minutes and purred. I may need to get someone with a timing light to get it perfect, but I don't hear any knocking or anything so hopefully I am pretty close. I'd say I went to between the 1 and 2 o'clock position. Edelbrock 2116 and the Edelbrock 600cfm 1406 carburetor with electric choke
I can answer this better now. Got a timing light and made timing tape using another video and some green frog tape on the flywheel. Currently set to 12 degrees advance and pretty happy with it.
