Customs 49 ford Gambino notch kit completed... Pictures!

My friend Omar brought his 49 ford to my house to get some work done. 4 link, Chop and some other patch panel work. I started on the notch monday morning and i just finished today. The car was hit pretty hard on the rear driver's side so he had a local shop straighten the frame as it was in pretty poor shape, But when you add new perfectly square part to a frame that's been damaged you really see how twisted it still is . So i had to do some tweaking on the notch and top bag bracket. Anyways, everything is square now even though the notch is not perfectly straight up and down. I did what Alex does with the top bars, in the front instead of on top of the rear end. Everything is working smoothly , no buckling. The rear still wants to go down but the tires are hitting the top of the wheel wells , but since i'm gonna be doing all the floors and trunk that i'll get taken care of. Here's some pics!!

 

sweet!

 

Damn NICE work!

Nick.

Ken

 

Thank you so much guys!! I'll keep posting progress pics for sure!!

Ian

 

damn. those are pretty.

 

that looks nice...is that an electric cutter in the first pic?

 

Thanx again. Yes it's one of those long shaft ones from HF , they come in handy for tight stuff and a lot different uses for cuts. I don't have a very good compressors so my air cutting tools don't perform very well.

Ian

 

wow! looks good bro. keep up the good work!

 

Looks Great!!!

 

You suck...........I f*&kN hate you !@!! your such a lier, dude what are you ,in the witness relocation program and you are a car builder, but have to lie and say these are your first builds. you know if you keep this up, you are going to have'em lined up down the street, waiting for you to work on 'em. come get your car and finish it yourself, I don't know if i can paint it as good as you could.!! damn nice work Ian !

 

yeah I noticed the HF orange and was thinking I can afford one of those LOL I never could find any electric cutting tools and have been using a $70.00 dremel until the switch melted..thanks for the info

 

Nice welds. What welder are you using?

Ian

29.99 on sale and get the warranty for 5$ and when it breaks in 3 months or so, they give you a new one!!

Millermatic 180. I don't use the auto set though, i don't like it!!

Thank you Skull!!

 

Man Ian you seriously got some talent brother.....Great Job!

 

really clean!!

 

Berky Fabrication! Open for Business!!

 

Looks cool man. How much lift, pinion angle change etc? Id box the rear frame rails, always nice to get some more weld on there, but since its rear of the pivot points, no real biggie. Otherwise, great work. The sled in your sig is wicked pissa too.

 

Ohh, P.S., is that the Wu W on your neck? LOL

 

I can dig it, nice fab work man

 

Great work.
Wanna chop another 51 Chevy???

 

Wow!! Thanx a lot bro!!

Thank you!

HAHA!!

Thank you!! As far as pinion i have a 3 degree roll. The lift is good i dont know the exact number but he is getting a taller bag but it wants to go down some more! I thought of boxing it but i thought it was overkill since it's in the back. It looks pretty strong to me.

What is WU W?

 

Hey thanx man!!

Thanx so much Chris!! Are you talking about Munster's?? I would love to, let me finish this ford and if he hasn't found somebody and he's still interested, let's do it!!

 

Very nice work. Can you teach me how to weld like that? AWESOME....

 

Thank you so much!! It's all in the quality of the machine used to weld i think, seriously!! I use to have a Craftsman welder and when i bought the Miller..............Night and day!!

Thanx!!

Ian

 

That is rad!

 

Lookin sweet can't wait to see the other stuff you plan on doin to it

 

That really looks great. Nice work!

 

Thank you man!!

Thanx, Im excited about chopping it for sure!! I've never chopped a nice clean straight roof!!

Thank you man!!
