I have spent 15 to 20 minutes looking under the hood of his truck at Roundup...twice. Incredible work. Slonaker
Here are my first attempts at some crossmember brackets for a 37 chevy truck frame. The other side Justin
Here is a shock tower brace I made for my '56 Chevy DelRay. Didn't like the GM arrangement of the top of the shocks fastened to the trunk floor.

I'm subscribed to your build thread Langy, and I'm a big fan of your work and that style! Beautiful pieces!
No Mike I got the Gasser bug so building a primer grey Willys for some race fun, it's got a few shiny bits though
Do not know if this will qualify as a bracket, but here are some pics of the feet I made the flat firewall in my Model A. I had a friend shear and bend up some 1/8" plate to make them. 1. Pattern 2. test fit 3. Finished piece
I love this thread! I love brackets...Mine don't look nearly this good, its usually a matter of patience!
You'll get blasted for bringing back an old post and for making a new post when an old one already exists on the subject. Basically, you can't make any posts, old or new. Also, you'll get blasted for lurking because have to make a post once in a while, for crying out loud. I think some people just enjoy hearing themselves blast - like Chihuahuas. All kidding aside, I really enjoyed this post and probably wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't brought it to the top. Thanks! It's given me 3 good ideas that I'll use on my build. I wouldn't have thought to search for them because I didn't know they existed.
The motor mounts, the AC bracket, The adjuster on the bottom of the Alternator, and the master cylinder bracket to use stock 84F100 master and clutch cylinders with a Ansen pedal assembly.
Simple motor mount frame bracket, block mounts are Mercruiser. ================================================
this is what I'm capable of when someone else is paying me to do it. And this was 5 years ago. Sometimes I wish I still worked in a shop... <a href="http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/gdettor/?action=view&current=pinionsupport.jpg" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/gdettor/?action=view&current=exmounts.jpg" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/gdettor/?action=view&current=coolermounts.jpg" target="_blank"></a>
The subject of this thread is brackets and I have an example to share. Hope I don't get flamed because I did this on my OT ST1300 Sport touring motorcycle. I did a conversion to HID headlights and needed a way to mount the ballasts for them into a very tight spot behind the left side mirror under the fairing plastic. Barely enough room so it took a little creativity. Took a lot of head scratching to make it all fit. I fabricated the bracket out of 10 ga stainless and had it attach to some of the existing bolts and also to the structural fairing and mirror support stalk. With the bike all assembled it is totally hidden.
yep. All cut out with a vertical band saw and drilled in a mill. Roughed the edges on a burr king then filed them and finished them up with a DA. The middle picture was a bunch of exhaust hangers I made for a stainless exhaust.

Ok, since you guys wanted this thread brought back to life, here are a couple of brackets my Kid made for the 4 bar setup on the back of his rpu. They are actually welded to the frame but rivits are added to make them look like the were attached that way. Don
