The Flat 4rd Build: Don Letherman

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:38 GMT

]]>Here it is the first night home.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:39 GMT

]]>Sizing up the chop.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:42 GMT

]]>A couple of artifacts that are links to its past.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:45 GMT

]]>Definitely an old fruit truck.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:47 GMT

]]>Disassembly starts.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:49 GMT

]]>Lots of rusty rivets to drill out.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:51 GMT

]]>Roadster time!

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:53 GMT

]]>Brian hops right in to do some clean up.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:55 GMT

]]>Lots of rusty stuff to grind.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:57 GMT

]]>Face lift complete.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:25:59 GMT

]]>Disassembly complete, now it's off to be dipped.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:02 GMT

]]>First step is to cut off a 3 inch section from the bottom of the cowl and rebuild the body lines.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:05 GMT

]]> Welding in the new sections.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:07 GMT

]]>Next is the 6 inch chop. Lots of pie cuts to rebuild the proper shape.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:12 GMT

]]>The 3 inch section is complete.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:14 GMT

]]>Inside view.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:09 GMT

]]>Weld the chop.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:16 GMT

]]>Grind the welds.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:18 GMT

]]>The cowl section is complete with a 6 inch chop and a 3 inch section.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:20 GMT

]]>Another view.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:22 GMT

]]>The back of the cab gets the six inch chop and the 3 inch section as well as a new back panel.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:24 GMT

]]>This is a good view of how much was cut out of the height of the body.
The bottom is the 6 inch chop and the top is the 5 inches of section that we cut out.
We replaced 2 inches of that with new body molding.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:27 GMT

]]>Time to weld the chop section back together.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:30 GMT

]]>Adding the new metal to the sections.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:32 GMT

]]>A new lower body belt line was fabricated to completed the 3 inch section.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:34 GMT

]]>Now we are getting somewhere. Here are the pieces sitting back in place.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:36 GMT

]]>Rear view.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:39 GMT

]]>Time for the new stamped back panel.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:42 GMT

]]>Here is the cab bolted back together with a fresh coat of DP-90.
The cab is blocked up to our planned driving height next to a '31 Chevy.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:44 GMT

]]>Here's Don to show prospective of ride height.
The roof is sitting about 48 inches off the ground.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:47 GMT

]]>Another View.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:49 GMT

]]>Another View.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:51 GMT

]]>Another View.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:54 GMT

]]>Here is the motor we used for mock up. Mid engine Porsche 2.0 liter from a 914.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:55 GMT

]]>New floors and door sills were needed for the 4 inch channel. Notice the lower body belt line has been incorporated into the sill rather than on the door bottoms as stock.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:26:57 GMT

]]>Hidden hinges were fabricated and mounted.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:00 GMT

]]>The mock-up motor and transaxle are mounted on the chassis jig before starting the frame design. This is an important step to insure the correct stance of the truck when finished.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:02 GMT

]]>Here are the hood and sides mocked up useing a '28-'29 model A grill shell. Again this is a needed step before the chassis can be built.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:07 GMT

]]>New door bottoms were wheeled and welded to the already chopped door skins.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:04 GMT

]]>New door frames were constructed to accomodate the flush mount doors.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:10 GMT

]]>A look from the inside shows the door skin tack welded in place.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:12 GMT

]]>The flush mount doors have a much cleaner look than the original overlapping doors.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:15 GMT

]]>Mock up wheels and tires, of the correct diameter help to visualize the overall perspective and to aid in achieving the desired ride height.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:18 GMT

]]>The first step in building the chassis was to build the front frame section.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:20 GMT

]]>We then added the back frame section to it.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:23 GMT

]]>Time to test the fit.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:27 GMT

]]>The transmission mount is added.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:29 GMT

]]>The front motor mounts are added.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:25 GMT

]]>Mock up of the front suspension.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:42 GMT

]]>We are using hairpins to maintain the old school look, but with the tube axel it creates problems.
Modifications to the axel were needed to give the front end adequate flexibility.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:44 GMT

]]>These are the parts we fabricated to make the modification.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:46 GMT

]]>Here the center bearing is assembeled.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:48 GMT

]]>Fully assembled.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:03 GMT

]]>Now the axle can twist.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:32 GMT

]]>The front frame rails were modified to accept the inboard coil over suspension.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:40 GMT

]]>Another angle.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:09 GMT

]]>Front end is fully assembeled.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:12 GMT

]]>A VW Bug steering box is incorporated into the design.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:06 GMT

]]>The rear suspension incorprates a multi-link, Indy style design with inboard coil overs, but utilizes the exposed hairpins to maintain the old school look.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:15 GMT

]]>Another look from the inside.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:18 GMT

]]>Rear view of the rolling chassis.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:51 GMT

]]>Back on the ground at right height with the top of the cab at 48 inches.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:54 GMT

]]>Another view.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:27:57 GMT

]]>Another view.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:00 GMT

]]>Another view.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:20 GMT

]]>One of the advantages to running the mid-engine power plant is so that we can achieve a comfortable driver. You can see here how much leg room there will be.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:22 GMT

]]>Here's another view of the interior leg room from the inside. Even with the dash and steering wheel in place there is enough room for the largest driver.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:24 GMT

]]>A view of the clutch and brake assembly, with power booster for the 4 wheel disk brakes.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:27 GMT

]]>A view from below shows shift linkage installed.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:33 GMT

]]>As much room as possible was left for the fuel tank.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:31 GMT

]]>New under side view.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:28 GMT

]]>The pedal position was checked and fine tuned for comfort.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:44 GMT

]]>Our first test drive!
But more power is definatly needed.
Actually this was a quick check for an adiquit turning radius.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:35 GMT

]]>All four wheels, are period perfect, and were rescued from a chicken coup and restored.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:38 GMT

]]>We rolled it outside for another look with the new wheels.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:40 GMT

]]>As low as it is, it will roll on 4 bare rims to be legal.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:41 GMT

]]>The hood top is fabricated.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:43 GMT

]]>It was important that the body belt line flowed on to the hood.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:46 GMT

]]>As always, we stood back to get another view of the hood making sure that all of the lines still flow.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:49 GMT

]]>The hood sides are finished, again continuing the lower body belt line.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:46 GMT

]]>With the hood in place we are happy with the clean look.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:52 GMT

]]>The engine is a 2366, 914 Porsche motor with Vanagon heads built by Dave Baumbright of Engine Masters.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:48 GMT

]]>An inside view of the hood latch assembly. This is one of the very few things that we did not hand build. The latch and hinge assembly was provided by Dan Fink.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:50 GMT

]]>Here's a view of Dans hinges.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:55 GMT

]]>A view from the front with the grill shell installed.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:57 GMT

]]>The drive train includes a 5 speed Porsche 914 transaxle.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:52 GMT

]]>Recessed seat pans are installed to maximize comfort.
The center channel will be used to run all of the electrical, brake lines, fuel lines, emergency brake cable, throttle and shift linkage.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:55 GMT

]]>Under side view of the front.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:28:59 GMT

]]>The extra 4 inches of seat cushion will help maximize comfort.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:01 GMT

]]>A view of the firewall, shifter and emergency brake.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:03 GMT

]]>The clutch cable, emergency brake assembly and shifter are in.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:05 GMT

]]>Emergency brake cable mounting.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:07 GMT

]]>When finished all of the mechanicals that run up the center channel will be covered with a metal cover.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:11 GMT

]]>Fuel and vacuum lines are installed along with the throttle cable assembly.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:13 GMT

]]>Front view of the center channel shows the clutch cable, throttle cable, fuel and vacuum lines, as well as a cut-out for the brake lines and electrical.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:15 GMT

]]>Another view.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:09 GMT

]]>Body mount on other side.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:21 GMT

]]>With the cover in place all the linkages and lines are hidden from view.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:23 GMT

]]>A pulley is used to route the trottle cable at 90 degrees.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:33 GMT

]]>Throttle linkage assembly.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:25 GMT

]]>There was no exhaust system that would fit the truck, so it was necessary that it be build from scratch.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:27 GMT

]]>Header tubes and exhaust flanges.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:55 GMT

]]>The stainless steel mufflers also had to be build to fit the limited space that is available.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:57 GMT

]]>They are a double baffled free flowing design.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:59 GMT

]]>Here is a view of the finished product.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:02 GMT

]]>Complete exhaust installed.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:30 GMT

]]>The bed design was one of the biggest challanges. It was important that the engine was completely covered, yet the lines of the body still flowed.
The bed was mocked up several times in cardboard before fabrication.
In the end, it was a bit of a compromise but we were satisfied.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:36 GMT

]]>We fabricated the bed sides from aluminim and the lower valance and roll pan we fabricated from steel.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:39 GMT

]]>Another view.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:29:41 GMT

]]>The grill and headlights are mounted.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:13 GMT

]]>To put things into perspective we are parked next to a chopped and lowered 1940 Ford Pickup.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:15 GMT

]]>Looking good.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:17 GMT

]]>The power window assembly is mounted in the doors.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:29 GMT

]]>The other door.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:20 GMT

]]>Cutting never ends.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:22 GMT

]]>The hand built and polished stainless steel steering column uses a 67 VW turn signal switch with the high low beam headlight switch built in.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:26 GMT

]]>Another view of the steering column.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:24 GMT

]]>Overhead view of the new dash.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:35 GMT

]]>While the roof was off we ironed out a few dents with the english wheel.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:34 GMT

]]>Pop out wind shield frame is cut down and mounted. An after market aluminum frame was used because the origanal frame was missing.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:37 GMT

]]>The hand built, inside window frames are finished. These were designed for easy installation of the door glass.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:42 GMT

]]>View of the other door from the inside. Notice how the dash, and window frame flow into the panel behind the seat back.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:46 GMT

]]>

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:52 GMT

]]>

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:39 GMT

]]>We fabricated a back panel to carry the body belt line around the inside of the cab.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:41 GMT

]]>Bearclaw latches were installed in the door pillars rather than the doors.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:50 GMT

]]>We fabricated the brake and clutch pedals pads from stainless steel with a unique patern machined into them.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:08 GMT

]]>We built a hidden stereo mount. It tucks up under the dash out of sight and drops down when we need to access it.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:10 GMT

]]>The start of the upholstery.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:14 GMT

]]>Bottom cushions started.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:17 GMT

]]>An aluminum headliner was fabricated that will later be covered with upholstry. It was done this way so that the interior curves would flow nicely. The center area will have a tuck and rolled insert installed.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:19 GMT

]]>Wow, add some material to that foam and it starts to look good. The white tuck and rolled seats gives the truck that late 50's early 60's feel.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:21 GMT

]]>We made a paper mock-up of the door panel so the upholsterer could see the look that we wanted.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:23 GMT

]]>With as many hand made parts as we had on this project, we just couldn't use a store bought steering wheel. Here is a shot of Don machining the outer rim of the wheel.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:28 GMT

]]>This is the two halfs bolted together

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:33 GMT

]]>After machining the center hub and fabbing up the stainless steel webs the wheel is ready for a leather cover on the rim.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:30:45 GMT

]]>A trial fit of the headlights and side mirrors before dissasembly.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:04 GMT

]]>The roll pan is finished with tail lights, licence plate lights licence plate and mufflers installed.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:05 GMT

]]>Interesting angle, you get a nice close up of the lights and tail pipes. If you look closely you can see the release button for the tonneau cover.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:13 GMT

]]>The front turn signal lights look good mounted behind the grill and the radiater shell has been finished off.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:26 GMT

]]>The fuel tank is a very strange shape but it was intended that way to maximise fuel capacity.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:31 GMT

]]>Here is the fuel tank installed.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:35 GMT

]]>We rolled it out side for a look in the sun. It is important to continuosly step back and check the results of your work.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:38 GMT

]]>We checked it over very carefully before it was blown apart for paint.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:41 GMT

]]>We stripped it back down and built a rotisserie to make the painters job easier.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:57 GMT

]]>While the body was away for paint we worked on getting the engine ready.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:31:59 GMT

]]>The cab gets some primer.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:32:01 GMT

]]>Wet sanding the paint.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:32:03 GMT

]]>The flames get taped off.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:32:07 GMT

]]>After the final masking, the flames are ready to be painted.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:32:05 GMT

]]>We must have more flames...

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:32:12 GMT

]]>Yeah, that's about right.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:32:14 GMT

]]>Joe lays down some killer lines to give the flames the finishing touch.

(Don Letherman) — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 19:32:16 GMT
