    Hey Al,
    Looks like you made a really good choice with this shop doing the metalwork. From the looks of it, you will be happy the results.
    Wonderful metal workmanship.

    Flop, you are a Metal God! Amazing skill, I'm in awe. Do you host metal working classes for dummies? I'd love to sit in on one.

    AHA! The secret to your great work is out!
    Lemmy might bite you in the backside if the very highest levels of quality are not maintained.;)

    Seriously, great work. Keep it up. I'm sure you are inspiring others while most of us are just envious.

    How do you get a great start on a project? With great talent ofcourse, amazing work!
     
  20. This takes first, a vision for what needs to be done. The skills and experience also. You seem to be at 110% on all this. I have to ask: Could this be Brookville panels assembled by someone else? I ask because how the body looks after you have "worked" it is how I would expect it to come to me, straight from Brookville.

    I never saw a raw body from Brookville and had assumed that they would be a hell of a lot better than that. Very surprised to say the least. Is this pretty much the norm for all of them? By the way, your work is tremendous!

    I thought you were bound to be talented as hell back when you started thrashing on your Pontiac years ago. Now with only a few years seasoning your craft it's clear that you'll be raising the bar for everyone over and over for years to come. Simply amazing results, and always a treat to watch.
     
  28. Nobody is getting over your bar for a long long time!
    I'm totally blown away!
    BTW, You have the tallent to fill those spot weld depressions with a tig and .060 steel rod
    and just enough heat to flow the rod.
    Build it up then just smooth out the spot.
    I have seen this done with .047 thick crs.
    This would be if you wanna go bare!
    Again AMAZING one of a kind!

  29. You can buy a Brookville body one of several ways. The first is assembled by Brookville. The second way is from a qualified assembler like Bobby Walden. The third is as a "kit" that you or your favorite hot rod shop can assemble. The coupe in this thread was obviously put together by someone other than Brookville or Bobby Walden. And they were in over their head when they opened the big box.
