Wow that was one wavy POS when you started! I couldn't get it that straight in 4 weeks, much less 4 hours. Nice work! Where are you located abouts?
really interesting stuff, keep us updated, eventually i'm going to start working on the 28 Chrysler, and it's the same thing ,steel over wood frame. My dads getting up there in age, and he doesn't have the patience or the health anymore.
Nice work carbuilder. The Rikster pic is awesome! I've thought about running stainless trim like that too. The hood sides are bitchin'. And wrap-around bumpers...Neat! sig; "Hand formed steel 35 & 36 Ford Roadster bodys & sheet metal replacement panels for 35/36 Fords.." Any more info or website for the '36 roadster bodies? Thanks!
I wanted to say thank you for sharing your pictures. Sometimes you can learn a lot by watching how a professional does his work.
The flywheel and starter gear hand crank is genius level thinking. As is using a truck hub with bearings at both ends. One of my friends has an expensive pro built rig and it is no where near the machine you have. So cool!
i enjoy a good build this is somthing i wanted to do i had a full sheetmetal shop of my grandfathers my dad took it all to the dump said u dont need all that stough 8' break and a box & pan 4' foot shear all pexto forming tools
Wow beautiful metalwork!!, and that has to be the most versatile rotisserie I have ever seen nice job.
The convertible on the rotisserie appears to be clamped by the pinchwelds along the bottom of the rocker panels. Could you explain how the clamps work, or are those flat steel rotisserie strips just there for alignment/locating? Never seen that on a rotisserie - sort of like a frame machine.
Carbuilder, where are u located? I live in Puyallup area need some grill shell work on my 37 Ford truck
