Projects '30 pontiac 3W build.

online. they are just 3/16 braizer head rivets. I think i got these off that auction site.

 

Cool. Thank you. I hate pop rivets.

 

Great work! My only question is how the hell do you fit all those tools in a one car garage?! You mentioned you have an English wheel, lathe, welder and a bead roller. As a single car garage owner I don't see how you work it. Please fill me in. Keep up the great work!

 

Great looking coupe! Glad to see another NH member as well!

 

So I have a lot of tools crammed in my basement. And a 12X12 or so room immediately behind my garage houses the lathe. It was a screen porch but I framed it in for more work area.

My buddy came over and helped me pound out the other seat tonight.

machined the accent piece to my pitman arm.

threw in a 30's pontiac advertising token for good measure.

 

Looking at this thread always makes me smile. I bet you still have people tell you that your Model A Ford looks nice when you finish the car even with all of the obvious Pontiac parts.

 

Hahaa and the smart people will call it a Plymouth

Lmao!

 

At least it's not a sedan, everyone calls my 31 Pontiac sedan a truck, or even worse, and SUV these days...

 

Nice Ford!

...joking...

Thing looks sweet. Dig the little details... gives it class and character...

 

Looks great! Glad to see the build pics the whole way through. I'm guilty of never having a camera around. The fab work is incredible.

 

great!!!! thanks for remindin me i have a half done 28 coupe to finish!!!damn!!lol!!! but, seriously...nice work bro!!!

 

Thanks guys. Made a visor and started on the header panel. Gotta get another windshield frame because i over chopped mine the first time. Live and learn

Looks great. I have a 1930 2 door and a 4 door sedan. If you need any measurements let me know..

 

Thanks. My stepdad has a 30 as well so I have a pretty good reference point. Appreciate it

Nice job! Noticed your t shirt. You into vintage BMX bikes too? I have a "few"...

 

That's awesome. Not so much vintage just love the movie. I still ride once a month or so.

Thats cool. I ride when I can. Not so much trail or dirt anymore, they bulldozed all but one of the local trails. I sold off my race bikes, kept one 24" cruiser. I still suck at flatland but I enjoy it with the occasional trip to the skatepark. I am starting to thin my freestyle collection down now. This time last year I was at 42 bikes, I'm down to 19 now and want to get it closer to 10. All 85-88 era.

Here's one I restored over the summer...

Hijack over...

 

did some work on the door patches... pushed her out to sweep.. here is how it sits.




then i removed a few digital inches... should i do it or no? what does the hamb think?

 

I think it looks good the way it is unchopped but I like them unchopped. I think your doing a great job. your metal work is great and your ideas are very old school. keep up the good work. Im subscribed

 

I know the oval rear window could be a real challenge, but to me the proportion of the car look better with the chop.

 

I think if you could "flatten" the oval rear window and keep the radii transitions smooth, it would look great. Perhaps you could fab the chopped shape in some sheet stock, then decide on the chop if your happy with the results. Great job by the way!

 

here is my new plan.... I just ordered the material and will machine a set of dies for my bead roller.... going to just make a new oval window.. smaller.

 

Now thats what I'm talking about! Go man go....you certainly have the skills!

 

had the day off thanks to the blizzard... got antsy...







I got more done than this, but ill show pics once i can roll it outside... about to get 2' of snow.

 

coming... i'd push it outside but theres a 5' snow drift in front of my garage door.

 

Wow, looks great! I should've worked on my car rather than snow blowing 2 feet of snow all day!

 

Pounding away.
