could you please show some pics of actually forming the steel pieces!!thank you,and EXACTLY as everyone else has said-magnificent!! work....
Again...wow. Look at that. It's not reasonably feasible to stamp complete panels, so form smaller pieces separately and weld 'em together. Amazing.
We also use back in the day some pictures from Lazze Metalshaping... Very Helpfull... But the link is broke... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/scratch-built-32-roadster-body.84771/page-2 Sent from my Mi A1 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

@ratamahata you fellas are definately changing the Hotrod landscape down there that's for sure... Question for you...How is the Traditional Hotrod/Custom movement as we know it here down your way? I do understand North American vintage iron has had a presence going way back...and there was plenty of rally and other type vintage car racing in the past. Just curious.
In Argentina just the word Hot Rod is interpreted in different forms for sure... like streed rod... only a few would determine the difference, maybe a a traditional Hot rod is called Old School for the mass... Maybe some TV programs with RR cars, rusty cars... You know! some years back where popular and there are some fan of them... But... Slowly the people recognized the tradition involved in the Hot Rods... Again Discovery channel TV shows. Maybe there are not officially the Hot Rod voice but put a little Help!! Example: If someone would attempt SEMA maybe he want to take a picture with Chip Foose or Richard Rawlings... Me? Will want to drink a beer with Stogy and Brian Bass! That what I see for the hot Rod scene... My friend Joaquín doesn't know English but he's open to learn... So I receive a lot of info from The HAMB... It's a pleasure for me be a part of this forum... They educate me in the right way... I Do my best for transfer all the info to my Friend Joaquín, my son's and some other good fellas... Sent from my Mi A1 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thats funny...Rat hey if your ever up Ottawa Canada way PM me and we will have a beer......If anything you fella's hammer out gets built Hamb friendly please do share... Theres a mix of Hotrod, Street Rod and all the others here too with Hamb friendly a minority but there are some. I suppose if we build or drive stuff the way we like others may follow but that is really not the main focus of course. But it's nice to be amongst like company...and sometimes that isn't easy. Do you have your Hotrod on the road yet?
Many Thanks for the invitation... I really appreciate!! Sent from my Mi A1 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
of course,when you get here-you are going to have to teach classes!!-and maybe have gene winfield come and sign your cars!!
Yeah I'm sure there's a few up this way that would be interested in that but once these fellas get established there is a market for that for sure...But I would settle for a cheers, handshake and chat. Gene might be a little travel shy after his unfortunate last adventure...
Just Kidding... Along with Jason elgringo71 and some fellas from ARG we had a WhatsApp group.... Sent from my Mi A1 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
