Fiona Ep. 8 - 1951 Ford F1 Restomod - Extended cab - Roof Corners
Переглядів 11 тис.Рік тому
I try and fabricate the roof corners connecting the main cab to the extended cab addition. I said TRY, because I'm still working on them! Ugh! Trial and error is the name of the game.

Переглядів 3,6 тис.2 роки тому
I continue to weld in the filler panels between the F1 cowl and the Explorer firewall. Got a little sidetracked with a quick garage cleanup, but then I went back to work on welding in a filler panel to connect the Explorer driver's side floorpan to the F1 rocker panel.

I was tired of struggling with the Harbor Freight welder that I had, so I upgraded to a Millermatic 211. The difference is night and day!

While trying to remove my crappy makeshift tube steel support frame, I ended up ruining my new rocker panels! So, I decide to try my hand at making my own.
Goofy Foot Garage - My Intro & Project Fiona!
Переглядів 9962 роки тому
I CREATED A NEW CHANNEL! This is my quick little introduction to Goofy Foot Garage, who I am & what I'll be working on. I used to be on a channel called DJ's Machine Shed, but from now on I will be using this new channel to post all my new project videos. Project Fiona - My 1951 Ford F1 restomod. Let's get this thing finished!
Hey, where is your video one through three? It starts at number four.
wet rag on back cant hurt .. or try braising w cutting torch and filler wire
Very freaking kool Bro!!
More work less gab
Hi, Please let me know if you can work on mine
Can you work on mine?
Do you still have your truck? Im doing a very similar build right now, I know how much goes into something like this. Just figuring out how to fit the explorer dash, a/c, and wiring back into that little thing is daunting. I hope you are well, thank you for sharing your progress with us.
Hey wheres episode 10? I hope that you are alright and healthy.
I appreciate the pain and anguish you're going through I have a 49 Ford and two cabs and going to try to do the same thing hopefully I have a little better luck I like what you're doing and keep up the good work I'm doing a little more different than then you are doing at this time I'm putting a 2JZ in mine and suspension out of a IS300 keep up the good work in an inspiring some of us others to
Nice 👍 work!☆☆☆☆☆
Hi , Fiona. Watching your work , i have been inspired to transform, my 1950 pickup , i will send you some pictures, Thank you , congratulaciones!!
So you ended up removing essentially ALL the explorer dash..this is probably where I will end up with my Willys.
I have a 49 Willys Truck and am putting it on a 97 AWD 5.0 Explorer chassis. I had another rusty cab and tried to fit it and ended up removing everything, and eventually threw it away. So now I'm using another Cab that has full floors and everything. I am very hesitant to cut it all away, where the rusty one was no issue. I tore out most of the Explorer dash, was thinking of using like you were, but essentially it won't work, but I will keep the wiring and refit the dash into the Willys dash (I did this on a 74 Dodge Motorhome I swapped in a 5.9 dodge truck motor and its wiring, I put all the dash gauges into the motorhome dash..) So I've been very interested in seeing how you get it done. The Willys is very narrow compared to the explorer, so I had to cut away all the heater stuff just like you had to. My I suggest less talking and more doing...
I am about to start mounting a 1950 F-1 on a 2002 Explorer chassis and have watched all of the videos on your other channel numerous times. I was afraid you had abandoned your project when you quit posting videos and was very excited to stumble upon your new channel. However, I was concerned when you mentioned that you were going to remove your other channel, as I am relying on those videos to guide me when I start cutting the Explorer apart late this summer (I have to upgrade the electrical system in my garage before I can weld anything out there). Is there any way to transfer your old videos to your current channel? Thanks for sharing everything you have done thus far. Much appreciated. Al
Not entirely. I actually moved this project to a new channel. Search for "goofy foot garage". That's where I moved this project to.
Man u r killing it Awesome work
You’re a pretty lucky guy. You seem like a first timer but you’re doing great. Does your wife know you have more spent in tools than you do in trucks? Haha
I like the cab stretch
You're a braver man than me.
Lovin' the video's. I'm working on a 69 scout 800 and a 72 F100 myself. Never done any work like this either!
Fitzee is the man!
Watch Carter Auto Restyling.
It helps to grind the back on the blade down when cutting a sharp radius
I have one of those HF air saws. It's a definite POS. The only reason it still exists is for the occasional "that's the only. Thing that fits" moments.😊
Looks great, I love your videos! Thank you for sharing brother!
Glad you like them!
Very Nice job I did the same to my 34 ford pickup
Yak, yak, yak, yak ,yak, yak..........................
Don't like it? Turn the channel, or put it on mute. You have a choice........
I had been wondering what happened with this project. Glad to see it finally resuming.
Looking good
Thanks! 👍
Just found your channel. Can’t wait to see the final product. My only complaint is you’re not showing the actual work. Maybe put the camera on a tripod while you work.
That looks good! Really enjoy watching your work. I have a 52 F1. Thanks for sharing your progress.
Thank you!! I hope to be able to show more of me actually doing the work in future videos.
Check out Carter Auto Restyling for welding tips and body work, he once took a roof out of another car to replace the upper top because it already had the curve he needed. He can give you tips on how to smooth your welds. www.youtube.com/@CarterAutoRestyling/featured
Looks great, Fitzy would be proud. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you!
Looking good, I had a similar idea for a build with reusing materials like that but to also make the window roll up and down. You can find some pretty cheap phone stands on Amazon, keep the content coming👍
I don't think I have the skills or know-how to even attempt making the windows able to roll up & down. I still have to work on creating a seam for the window gasket to fit on, and that's making my brain hurt!
Thanks for the update 👍
the side window looks great, ive seen other people doing the cut and but with a cutting wheel. they cut about 2-3 inch at a time tic it then cut 2-3 inch tic. they do that all the way around.
Yep, that's what I've been doing for the most part. The roof corners were a little more tricky, so I have to cut through all the tack welds and the old sheet metal to get the patch panel to sit flush.
Watch halfass customs or bad chad both very helpful
For car guys, Watching the actual work would be way better.. just work brother.
👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏Desde Colombia 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I know you watch Fitzee. I watch him also and give Make it Kustom and R A C a peek. Both do wheel work and a lot more not to take any thing away from Fitzee I like how he does stuff in pieces he makes it look easier it that way but I know it's not. Sorry need to add Carter Auto Restyling he's good also Thanks and I subed
This is why you get thumbs down talking about it to much is not getting the work done.
Alrighty then! Waiting the next video. Thanks and looking good!
Looking good.
you're a brave man, keep it up!
Thank you! I hope I don't mess things up in the process!
Ok I’ll give you some advice that might seem a little backward moving for you but it will simplify your life and frustration. First off you are fighting the teardrop shape from front to rear, this is simplified by actually cutting your back window out splitting the cab in the rear and actually widening the cab to match the angle and keep your panels in a strait line so you don’t go from flat to angled. This will make the side profile look so much better as a finished and painted product. Second your inside bracing is there to stiffen your door latches keep them and keep that rigid. Hope this helps you out and makes sense. Good luck! Oh and for your roof panel go cut the roof out of an old car and graft it in, your new English wheel isn’t big enough to build a roof panel. When you do that keep your welds close to the edge or if you really want to keep the warping out of it look into gluing your roof panel on! Again best of luck man.
Keep at it . Looks good.
Thank you, I will
A UA-cam channel named hot rod solutions just did a Studebaker truck extended cab, his bodylines look exactly like yours, if you watch his video series you might see some little things to help you. His door drip rails extensions past the new quarter windows was a huge factor to help center everything. Your doing a great job. 👍👍
I saw them! But he used a roof & half of the A pillars from a 4-door sedan on his extended cab. That roof also already had a full length drip rail on it. I thought about trying to find a roof skin from an F1 panel truck, but that would be too hard to come by, and I'd really feel bad about cutting up another classic!
Have you thought of extending the drip rail over the new window? Moving the back side of the corner widow will help widen the glass and improve the look for me. 😊 Take a look @make it custom here on YT. Karl is a great teacher.
I personally don't like the look of having the drip rail continue over the corner windows. I've seen it done both ways and prefer it just being over the door opening. I've watched tons of Make It Kustom's videos. Karl is super talented and makes great tutorial videos.
hi dave would a roof from a 4 door car from the junk yard work? this YT'er is worth watching too Fitzee's Fabrications his last video has some good tips " Crusty's back! Would you believe, more rust repair! " how he repaired that corner made it look easy pus this guy doing the same as you Hot Rod Solutions
I've thought about using a roof panel from a different car/truck, but I'm not 100% what would work better. I've also watched a lot of Fitzee's videos. He's makes great tutorials and uses mostly basic hand tools most guys already have in their garage.
Hi, I am building a rear cab for my 1930s Citroen and a couple of tips I would like to pass on, On the English top wheel use a rubber cover like and old innertube this will stop you getting two compound curves in both directions. The other tip would be make or buy a foot pedal for your shrinker stretchers so you can use both hands, I built one myself and it didn't take too long. Enjoying your videos. Cheers Dave
Thank you! I did end up ordering a rubber band for the top wheel on the English wheel. I really hope it helps. And I'd really like to build or buy foot pedals for the shrinker/strechers. that's on the future to-do list!
Hi, taking out the innerds of the cab corner is so much unnecessary work, perfection is the enemy of the completed project, don’t do it man
Haha! I know... but I want to clean it up. It would just look hacked together if I left the back door jamb in the cab.
Cover it with upholstery , it will be much stronger should you ever get in an accident
The upper window line should describe an arc that is continuous and meets the upper line of the portal window,
