Ford 100E Popular Deluxe: The Rebuild - Part Two of Seven

Here we see the stripped and prepared body shell mounted on a bespoke jig. This device allowed for 360 degrees of unrestricted rotation along the vehicle's 'x' axis. Essential structural reinforcement was installed in key areas prior to removal of damaged/corroded metalwork.
After 50 years of service, a highly detailed examination of the unitary assembly was required. Areas deemed unsatisfactory were cut away. There followed hand fabrication and replacement of panel components with correct gauge, high quality steel while retaining as much of the original material as possible.

Excellent reference. A great job being done. Nice to see some old fashioned gas welding. Mart.

I wouldn't want to be paying an hourly rate for those repairs.
