Great fabrication and welding skills are obvious in your photos. Keep them coming.

had some friends come into town over the weekend for the wilmington mile speed runs. while they were here we built this chassis for his model A truck, just tacked up in the pics until i get the flat 32 front cross member in.

2x4x 3/16 tube, 4 inch Z up front 11 in the rear, tapered front rails, 1.75 wall tube for the center section

 

Nice work, good for you!

 

Keep on posting mate....you never stop amazing me with your work. You're an artist....

 

nice work

 

Had the chance to swing in last weekend, and enjoyed hanging out at the shops and seeing what you've got going on. Great work, and love the projects going on.

 

made this roll pan the other day for an O/T car. made completely from scratch, 18 gauge steel. rolled edges, whole thing is crowned and recessed plate box

 

Very nice!

 

Bad ass keep the pics coming

 

have not been doing a ton of cool stuff worth posting on here. a lot trans and rear end swaps........ blah. i have done some more bead rolling on a customer car, and made some bomber seats. here are some pics for proof lol


some floor pics in a sedan i am working on







fuel tank cover panel in the same sedan





and the bomber seats

all the pieces cut, drilled and bead rolled, all the large holes still need dimpled, and the seat belt holes will be cut out later






















added the side brace on the inside



and the finished product ( seat 1 of the pair)

 

second seat of the pair starting to go together

 

today i did some patch work on my neighbors 57 chevy fenders. i made all the patches and metal worked them in. i got carried away and forgot to take pics before i got the patches tacked in. but you can get the idea.

to start on the rear lower area of the fenders, to make the patches i first made a cardboard template and transfered it to some sheet metal.



then cut it out



the bottom edge has a curved break on it, so to get that is used the bead roller with a tipping die.







then i had to put a regular break on the back edge. then run it through the shrinker to get the curve to match the original fender





here is the new (extra) panel





here are some of the patches tacked in







all the panels fully welded, ground, and hammered and dollied out smooth

 

and some pics of the backside, still need to put the support brace back in

 

Great work! Wish I could be there and work with you or at least watch you do body work. Alas!
I sure would like to be able to do some of that quality metal work.

 

Very impressive

 

I absolutely like nice work. It gives me a place for ideas and the kick in the rear to work on things. Keep posting.

 

I've been right beside Mike while he works. He makes it look effortless.

 

How much for a piece of metal 14" X 24" with the 32 Ford truck bead? Run the bead side ways on the 24" side about the same depth that you have it from the top. Doing a crew cab on a 32 commercial truck. Would love to see more photos of your made machine to do that with if possible.
