41 woody

Quarter Sawn Classic Woodworks will be there.

Need a pic please.

Here is an update ladies and gentleman. A new company "Quartersawn Classic Woodworks" has been created. The 1941 Ford Woodie resides in Ceresco, Michigan. We have made a couple trips to visit Mike Nickels. He is a wealth of information. He has been extremely helpful and patient with this novice. His shop is going well. I have purchased Maple tools , and other infrastructure items. The garage is still being organized. The immediate plan is to have the car completely disassembled by October. It is 40% of the way with body panels, rear hatch, seats, hood, doors, front window, and dash being removed. Next will be remove engine, transmission, and the rest of the wood body. Alot of work still remaining but Mike has been generous with his time and knowledge. The company also purchased a running 41 four door Fordor Sedan which is in excellent shape and will be used as a reference when putting things back together. Pictures will be posted regularly in the near future. Thank you Woodie Community. Let's build a car folks. Lost your number 46 Woodie when I bought a new phone. Everyone feel free to call (Mike) @ 269-234-3054 with advice. Need advice on what would be the best welder for my needs (floor boards, tac welding, maybe some stainless). Mike and I will be taking a welding class this fall. I have some parts still to purchase if anyone is wanting to part with any 41 stock. The Fordor will be preserve quality and the Woodie will be Concourse.

What machine did you use to cut the complex profiles

Car being delivered on December 20. Loan is done and transportation is locked in.

New Old Wood. My number is 269 234 3054. I would like to talk with you at your first convenience. I am at a loss for words thinking about your talent. Working on getting a shaper and custom cutting knives. I would be indebted with any advice you could offer. Truly look forwrd to talking. Other folks with imput please reach out. Thanks guys.

WOW

WEll tomorrow is the day guys. Wish us luck.

My friend and I are doing most of the work. I am the wood guy. OK guys pick a name for the business. Mike's Quartersawn Classic Wagons , Driven by Excellence Restoration, or Simply Woodie Wagons

Hoping to get this project done for 50k.

Once again this is a family project. Maybe we can ask the members what the favored color should be. I am here to learn. Thanks guys. I just got home from the hospital. Loooonnng daayy.

WOW the wood work on that car is what I aspire to repeat. Quick questions. 1.) If I change the color will that effect value. 2.) Do I need to rebuild the original motor or just replace with another flat 8 (will that drop the price).

The maple at the mill is at less than 7% moisture. It has been sitting for 3 months drying. Trying to decide on the door panels. I am not a fan of Mahogany. I want to do Birds Eye Maple but that would be super expensive.

Keep the advice coming. I appreciate you taking the time. It is starting to sound like a family project. Full steam ahead. It will take a year to take it apart and get the shop organized.

I live by Mike. These sound like great resources. I feel weird talking to Mike right now with his recent loss. I see he has a go fund me page. Something good happened today. A friend near Sout Haven. called and said he is clearcutting his property to build. He said I can have any of the trees if I want them. Not sure how to even approach that though. H has Cherry, Sugar Maple and Ash. I will make sure to not lose anything. I am sooooooo exited about this. We are giving ourselves 5 years to finish the project. Then it is time to hit route 66.
