Projects i just want something to cruise.

You are truely the best fabricator in this area and in a class of your own!!...

Cant wait to see this come together and see ya soon..

 

Nice tube work! You an ex mini trucker?

 

I like what you have done..

 

haha thanks Tom, but there are a lot of guys out here who build nice stuff! stop down anytime and check it out, you're always welcome!

thanks, and yeah, i dabbled with minitrucks for a bit. this is actually the first project i have used a tubing bender on. the wishbone and a couple tubes where the bags mount are .250 wall DOM. bent a couple pins on my JD2 bender. gonna have to get those replaced.

 

nothing too exciting.


im not sure if i like the upper shockmounts yet.



lower shockmounts tacked on.


if i knew how to weld nice i wouldnt have to waste so much time molding.

 

Really nice work, love the way that engine looks.

 

Great work!! will this set up need any type of watts link?

 

is lookin sick man!!!!!!!!!!!

 

thanks, and no, it shouldnt because the upper link acts like two triangulated links, this design is very similar to what chevy did in 58.

i pinched the lower links just to add even more triangulation just to be safe. thanks for checkin it out.

 

I did notice the lower arms were triangulated. The way you have set up the top link to pivot on three pionts should work well, i just thought i'd ask. Realy cool idea with that top link going over to the rear of the diff center.

 

thanks, i was hoping to keep everything set rather low, and set the pivot points back as much as possible to help keep the rear seat as much as i can.

i set the frame at ride height and determined my instant center and recorded the pivot points i would need to make this all happen, then i raised the rear end to where it would sit when completely layed out and started making the links so they would clear. i ordered a driveshaft yesterday, so hopefully soon we will see if this setup works and what pinion angle change i will have to deal with!

thanks again.

 

Nice fab work.

 

exhausting

 

Beautiful!

 

thanks, i still gotta do the other side, make all the mounts, finish welding and add clamps and a set of flanges on the tailpipes before the rear end. but i was just happy to get this far!

 

the cure or cause of boredom.

 

holy shit!awesome work!

 

Hey, I hear someone knocking on your door. Bet it's the tubing delivery guy again VERY NICE.

 

Man cool set up, keep up the nice work.

 

thanks for the kind words guys! the tubing delivery guy can rest for now! maybe soon he will drop me off some sheet stainless or aluminum to build a freaking gastank out of! haha

got my exhaust hangers tacked on




i still have to come up with a few exhaust related parts for the tailpipes, collector flanges or something, and maybe another set of mounts

 

W-W-W-WOW! Absolutely unbelievable... I gotta see this thing in person sometime before the body goes on. Geez, that's really inspiring!

 

this is one of those threads that if i have to tell someone what the HAMB is all about i say, "you should see this freakin' guy building the shit out of a chassis for his '53...."

 

haha thanks man, that made me laugh.

Thanks Andy! Im sorry i didnt get a chance to catch up with you at jesse's, i saw your roadster, looks amazing as always. stop out anytime and check this mess of a chevy, you are always welcome.

I'm envious of your fab skills...
