Tech Week – How to make a 1932 Grill Shell

Nicely done. also very inspirational for future projects.

 

Very nice work.

 

Nicely done and crap all at the same time. Crap because now I have to add another thing on my list of things to try....

 

Nice work, but it sure sounds familiar:

http://www.streetrodderweb.com/tech/0601sr_1932_ford_grille_shell/

Especially the identical sentences:

"Brookville Roadster makes an excellent reproduction '32 shell in steel...."
and
"Although this is a fairly advanced project......"

I guess plagarism is the sincerest form of flattery.

 

I like it!

 

It's a 1930 Plymouth model 30U. I believe they only made the oval window for this one year.

 

Who said that American craftmanship is dead! .............Judge Tony..............10!

 

wow....let me go throw rocks at my tin work

 

WOW! Nice first metal project.

 

wow!, its not plagerism if his names Ron covell
Tuna foot are really Ron?

"tightly radiused lip that surrounds the grille, and this detail would be very difficult to form freehand."

LOL, word for word

​

 

How Thick was the aluminum that you used for this project? I am really interested in playing around with this. Thinking about testing my skills, I built my grill using aluminum sheet metal but I think what I used would be to thick for this type of project. Thanks

 

Yikes clearly most of the text has been lifted straight from that article.

Nice work but.....

 

I wish I was Ron Covell, I did take one of his workshops. He's a great guy. Showed me how to metal finish.... And yes Ron's article was the recipe I followed to get a similar result.

 

3003 Aluminum that was .063 thick. After annealing it becomes really easy to shape.

 

Dittos on all the nice things said.....I will look you up when I get back to Arizona in the fall.

 

very nice
I enjoy making my own pieces
nice pics to show how it was done

 

Awsome tech nice work

 

Once the part is completely smoothed out, a mallet is used to tap the leading edge over the round bar, giving it the proper curvature.

Tuna foot you suck !
This thread ought to be locked down and disqualified and you should get banned .
Recipe my ass

 

Just say the word and I'll pull the content myself. I wouldn't want to offend any whiny ass bitches

 

Going to have to agree with this. It's almost word for word with the Street Rodder article.

 

As you wish

 

Man, there is sure a bunch of over or under medication going on here....

 

interesting

 

Is Tuna our Batman? Sneeking in with a good thread and leaving? Or a pro telling us how to do it and blasting off? But yeah, this" was" the one that was leading for me in tech week. I have not done mine yet!

It will NOT be this good............
if I get it done...... can't find myh bolts........ahhhhhhh!

 

Thanks,

 

I don't have a beef with you and it looks like you actually executed the work yourself. Craftsmanship speaks for itself. But failing to give credit to Ron Covell is palgarizing when you copied his work and represent it as your own. And thats a different matter when there are significant rewards at stake. I'm sure you won't have any problem rationalizing your behavior. But don't get pissy because you got caught.

Sign me:

Whiny ass bitch

 

My tech wasn't about trying to cheat anyone else out of their significant rewards. I already have a set of Matt's headers and not sure what I would do with tin from EMS. (although I'm sure I could have found something shiny at SoCal & Bailiegh's)

There's no way there was even 10 percent content taken from the street rodder's article. I now understand that even 1 percent was too much to leave in. I just wanted to show off a project that I'm very proud of and spent a significant amount time creating. Apologies to anyone who feels was cheated because I looking for a pat on the back.

 

Waaaaahhh!!!! lol
