some of the work from my shop

very cool man... dig the BOSS 9..

 

Once again,lots of good ideas I will attempt to run a muck with. Great work and thought. Keep posting.

 

Thing looks like a locomotive! Damn....

 

Freaking awesome work man! I love your fab work and that frame is sweet! That Boss 429 is a killer engine for that truck!

 

second that!

can't wait for updates

 

thanks guys

i hope thats a good thing lol

 

I love fabrication threads, and this is a great one, but none of the older pics are showing up now, and I can't steal your ideas.

i forgot i took these pics last week. got the removable trans cross member mocked up

 

after being gone for pretty much the entire month of August for bonneville, vegas, chasing cars across the country and metal shaping classes. i am back at the shop getting work done!!

on my uncles 30 roadster i got the frame back from the painter, so need to get it all buttoned up and back to the painter to put the body on and lay the base coat.

here is were i am at

 

here are some more pics from the progress on this car, now i sit and wait on the painter again.........

chassis all finished up, cleaned up and rolled out side



















here is the fire wall, painted a creme/ ivory color the painter and i came up with



the body back on the chassis and ready for the final blocking and paint

 

real nice ....

its coming close in hitting some serious highway =)

 

where you finding all your model A's in the BG? I just can't help to love looking at projects waiting, all lined up. Nice work

 

just awesome!

 

rust n chrome i picked all those up in South Dakota and Kansas when i went out for Bonneville this year, i hoe to sell all those. i also have 3 more to pick up before the snow

 

worked on the Minges coupe pedal assembly for a while these week end, got them all built and working

 

Nice fab work, and creative too, well done.

 

a little more progress on the Minges coupe, got the pedal/ steering assembly fully welded, sand blasted, primed and re installed











then i thought it would be a good time take the old wood out of the roof and get the new wood kit in. started pulling the wood on the passenger side and noticed some cracking in the sheet metal. dug a little deeper and found a ton of led, and a lot of bad sheet metal work when it was chopped

















so i figured i would start on the roof side panels and work my way back, and down. spent a few hours with the hammer and dollie and got the roof pretty straight. then, cleaned the inside the roof, and put some black paint in, and started installing the passenger side roof wood.

 

great work man. you go beyond what most would, which is nice.

 

That is VERY nice work as always !!!!!

 

Great stuff going on in your shop, the fact that you make pretty much everything by hand and it actually looks right amazes me, keep up the amazing work, I noticed that the dashboard in that coupe is signed by Gene Winfield, pretty cool, subscribed, thanks for showing us your metal magic, look forward to seeing more, Murch!

thanks guys here is some more from today

metal working my way around the roof

 

Looks sick man, really diggin the flatty in there and the decklid looks sick. You do the louvers?

 

yea i did the louvers on the deck lid

 

made a stand for my anvil today and dressed it up a little with some help from my Baileigh bead roller

 

thats sick, nothing like some tool porn. I need that anvil!!!

 

Mail on the way!

 

been working on the truck over the past couple days, hope to have it rolling with in a few days

making the front spring perch





then machined a 7* tapered bung for the tie rod ends on the wishbones. then welded it into a piece of tube to go through the frame. so i could get a socket on the nut and keep water and dirt out of the frame





then drilled through the rails, installed and welded solid the bung assembly









then all smoothed out and tie rod ends installed

 

looks dope, good work.

 

started working on this old frame the other day. i had to make a chassis jig for it. it is a crusty old frame but the owner of the chassis would not go for new rails. he wants as much of the original frame as possible

here is the chassis in the jig, used a set of asc blue prints to make sure the jig and chassis are set up correct







had to make some bolt on clamps that bolt to a few of the factory body mount holes to hold the chassis in the jig and make sure it and other chassis are always in the same place to hold tolerance



some of the rust and other damage that needs repaired











getting the x members and center section removed



everything removed and ready to start the hard part





welding up some of the extra holes in the chassis



ready to cut out this large rust area and replace it



the new repair panel made, traced onto the old rail, drilled the corners of the repair to prevent stress cracks later on in life



all welded up, ground smooth, ready to keep moving forward

 

looking good, luv the frame table. can't wait to have room for one of them someday.
