Amazing, amazing work, I've done panel repairs, but nothing as nice as that.

 

Exciting or not, I could watch this all day long. Great work man! Makes me want to get after my gas door patch panel this weekend.

 

Real nice work you are turning out there.

16g? Maybe some heat would help.

 

Looking real good! Nice fabrication skills.

 

Me like.

 

This has been inspirational and humbling and exciting all at the same time.

And my mom's name is Kandy so don't talk about... wait... Daddy?

 

thanks alot guys and sorry to hear that Pimpin was bangin you mom Gigantor!!

well my work has officially scared me . i really have no idea how it came out this clean but hey im not complaining!!

















next im onto the patch panels...joyyyy!!

 

Hey Flop,

Kandy was a very nice young lady

Than, you're the only one who's scared by your work, most of us have seen the work you did on the ''tin indian'' & the ''shev-o-lay''!

"............graffiti on the walls of history "

 

thanks for the lesson....and good work!

 

Lookin pretty pro...nice work!

 

wow, incredible!

 

Very nice work. If you were in Louisiana, I'd bring my A tub over to you and let you work the same magic. Same hole in the firewall too!

 

Nice work indeed , oh and not to be too nitpicky but this should read nothing too exciting, Not to. No i'm not the grammar police either.

 

Looks good! I'm just getting my head around the same problems, but I'm a total newbie to sheet metal work.
I'm fixing a poor chop, and some ugly patch work on a Model A coupe right now, so, I'm very interested...

 

Wow....what is it with those firewalls..??!? LOL..mine looks the same...care if I send you mine to fix it..??LOL.

 

Nice work ! cant wait to see it done. But wooden body carts ? bet those burn real nice while your welding.

 

thanks fellas!

low down there are no molten balls of metal flying around when ya tig

lowongas when ya send it be sure to include some $$ haha

thanks milw i never payed attention in english class !!


one ya get the hang of it dirtythirty sheet metal is amazing on what you can make it do !!

patch panels will start next along with the subframe work

 

Nice work Flop
I have the same sort of repairs to do to my Coupe soon

 

wheel well time. customer decided to put the patch panels we had in for the wheel wells



trim trim trim

mess mess mess



subframe cracked and thin





cut it out!



patch



look mom no clamps!!! got a nice tight fit





welded up



didnt get a pic of the bottom trimmed down



doneeee



onto the wheel well next

 

thats some nice work man!

 

That's some pretty good metalworking skills!!

 

thanks guys wheel wells should be tacked in today!

 

got a bunch done since the lat post.


wheel well patch sittin in place



some primer on the subframe and some weld-through primer on the lower part of the patch because i dont know if the patch gets spot welded to the subframe once ya wrap it around or not.



tacked in .

i usually dont work with that many tacks but for this one it seemed impossible not to. there were alot of variations in where the patch panel wanted to sit and where the og wheel well was so a ton of tacks it was





finished up!



for future reference it took a little more then 18 feet of tig rod to weld in the patch haha



another view

 

next side



more subframe rusty-ness





new piece of subframe with some shrinker stretcher action to mimic the stock piece



sitting in place



should be welded in before to long and then onto another wheel well.

 

Nice work. This is going to be one sweet build. keep the pictures coming.

 

Flop, I'm just checking to see if you got your flight tickets for the first week in January?? You should've got them last week.


You better be ready to work your majic. I got the beer!!!
