Technical Show Us Your Fabricated Parts

Fabricating parts might be a novel concept to some, but it's what real hot rodding is all about. To me anyway......

 

Let's see how long it stays posted this time.

Hey Denny,
What's really interesting is seeing the different approach that a guy takes who's strong leg is in machining vs a guy who's strong leg is in welding. Same problems, Different solutions

 

Man that's slick , that's all hand ground shape?


I went to the sign shop today. The had a display up advertising their wears and photos of projects. I was looking at the mechanisms of the display rack and all I could see was carb linkage pieces.

 

Good job everybody!!

I've posted this before but here it is again. I fabbed up this trans adapter to bolt a T5 behind my straight 8 Packard.
I have to build my own parts....I'm broke

 

1/2" brass flat plate, table saw, chop saw, drill press, tap, grind, file and polish.

 

Roger that, but you can still see good enough to do both.
(Sounds like) the perfect recipe for two guys that like each other starting a business together, no thanks, perfect recipes don't always turn out perfect.

 

My Willys trunk tin. Top side and bottom.

 

'27 T turtle deck inner structure

 

here is a brake air scoop I made from a soup pot

 

as long as it holds together I don't care what I looks like.

 

Nice the way you added adjustability to the alternator bracket, DDDenny.
..... and the neatly done clearance notch in the frame.

 

Made these a while back.

 

Water crossover I made for my 270 Hemi

 

Thanks Gary
I really thought long and hard before I made that cutout in the framerail, was able to (just) get the hoodside to hide it.
Was also able to bolt the alternator directly to the block and got the pulleys to line up without spacers.

 

I’ll play... gas cap mount for my coupe.

Spring over adapter brackets to move my front axle back. Shortened the wheelbase 4" with these and a redrilled perch bracket. I was able to remove two spacer plates from the perch as well so the T is still the same ride height.


Friction shocks with working friction pads on both sides of the lever. Work great!


Right side, low mount Alternator bracket to replace the previous left side setup and delete a wonky idler pulley.



Windshield posts from sheet steel and an old rusty pipe I found in the pile. The frame is made from some pipe and a slotted 57 Ford truck tierod tube.

 

The grill inserts I make to go along with the bomber seats I enjoy making

 

A few things I made for the Turd over the years.

Dual Master Cylinder Mount - Brake and Clutch

 

Door pulls and door check straps from an old belt a neighbor gave me and some hardware store junk.

 

did the same to mine

 

Ok, I guess I'll chime in with stuff I actually made myself now.

Subframe:


SEATS:


Rear Panel:


Nose:


And these shock mounts from the Frame Horns that folks seem to dig:

 

Hand made fuel block, headers, cowl vent ratchet,and some stainless tailgate hinges. I like to make stuff rather than buy it!

 

I have made a few parts over time. Here is a header flange for a 25 Olds head. First find a piece of scrap large and thick enough (3/8). Cut off everything that doesn't look like a header flange. Ready for pipes.

 

I make parts that would cost me too much to buy, and have sold some:

41 Studebaker Taillights


Pierce Arrow dash panels


And Stewart Warner Chris Craft panels

 

A Z gate I made for the column shifter in my truck. It keeps an old man from missing a gear at the drag strip. The pin on the shifter arm fits in the Z gate when you pull it down into low. Slap it up once for second gear and again for third or drive. For street driving you just pull it down into drive as you would normally.

Wish I could use them tailights.

 

Does this count? I extended the cab on my COE for more legroom.....used another extra cab and some doors....

 

I wanted to do something clean to cover the A crossmember in the deuce frame under my roadster. My buddy and I made this up to fit the floors I made with a shrinker/stretcher and a bead roller.
