Projects [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Wow!

 

Double WOW!!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys!

 

I got the other side of the center section fab tonight. Need to get one more driveline hoop like the rear for the tranny mount and then it will be done and on to mounting the fuel cell...

Looking good!

 

I guess if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. It looks great. That thing is not going to be low, it is going to be subterranean.

 

Its just too bad your gonna put a body on it and cover it up! Nice job thanks for the great frame porn!(build thread)

 

Killer frame and fab work. I feel small and insecure after looking at this thread. Jokin man great work and sweet project. Can't wait to see more.

 

wooooooooooooow
that is awesome
you are a master of the metal.
i want to be just like you when i grow up!

 

Looks amazing! I've been taking notes.

 

Thanks everyone!!

Thanks man, ya stock frame wasnt ridged enough.

Thanks man, however im really not that grown up...Lol, I just turned 25 last weekend......

 

Only 25!!! Shit, what are the things you build in 20 years (when you have a lot more projects under your belt) going to look like.

Future Chip Foose of the Hamb world.

Keep up the awesome work.

 

killer skills man, looks great

 

Thanks for the kind words Dan, one day i can only hope to be in the same sentance as those of the greats. I try not to mention my age because i dont want my work to be good for my age, but to be good on its own. I strive to do the best work i can, cause i've learn if i dont i will be re-doing it...Lol

But thanks again Dan and everyone!

Well got the the tranny mount made. Got the fuel cell and tranny cooler mounted. Capped the rear of the frame and finnished th front running board mount. Got the rear airbag placement and templates made, got the tank and compressor mounting figured out also. I also pulled the trigger and ordered the Accuair E-level controller, cant wait tell that comes in.

Anyways heres the pictures....

its coming along real nice. keep moving forward!

 

Very nice work Frame tables are nice.
When I did my running boards on my 53 ford truck I used tubeing instead of the orignal brackets that way when your real low about 1/2" ,if you hit something it just slides on the tubeing like a rail Just a thought. My 53 lays running board too.

 

Thanks guys!

abone- yea, i though about doing my own but maybe next one.

Well i made some progress so far this weekend. I got the upper and lower bag mounts cut and installed, along with the compressor mount. Got the half of the batterie mount made (still need to make the tie down) and got the bed mounts made and tacked in place.

Looks real good man

 

I can't believe I have missed this thread! Subscribed!
Your fab skills are amazing!
When do you think your gonna blow it all apart and finish weld everything?
Are you gonna powder coat or paint the frame?
Can't wait to see you get on the body work!

 

thanks guys

Yea im going to get the frame powder coated. Hope to have it all fab within the next two weeks then on to welding.

 

Maybe add in some drain holes to the compressor mounting plate. Couldn't hurt to give any water a place to go.

Looks awesome. Let me know when it's done so I can come pick it up.

 

Dan - good idea, i guess i forgot them. Thanks

 

Top notch............!!

 

Outstanding Fab work, theres really not more I can say but it looks great.

I do have one question where did you find your 4 link bushings and sleeves, my local parts places seem very high priced on them. Thanks
MrC

 

Thanks guys!

I got my 4 link bushings from Suicidedoors.com there like 10 bucks i think.

 

Very nice work, coming along real nice, keep us posted.

 

Can't wait to see more! This is really kool!

 

Thanks guys!
