rebuilding a homebuilt sedan

the owner wanted 7 on this one, he saw another one i have in the shop, which is a 6 and he wanted more

 

Heyyy Cornfield!

My old rag has that louver panel in teh visor that you whipped up for me.

You sure do nice work!

 

Nice work. I hope that the owner can actually be able to drive it down the road as low as it will be when it's done even with the bags aired all the way up. I'm pretty well positive he would get hung up in my driveway no matter what.

 

worked on this one a little today, started on the driver side header.

 

Nice work. I really like the time and effort that you put into the welding. Over welding rules!

Great work. Cant wait to see more.

 

forgot these, notched out the dash for the shifter

 

Great fab work, no doubt.

Shame to see all that work go into a car that still has that super slammed, air bagged, over chopped, WAY extended front end look. It's a look that has been played out.

I'd really like to see you apply those fabrication skills to a more traditional build.

one skilled individual,i must say.
i really enjoy building stuff,i just cant peel myself away from the computer.too much interesting stuff here on the H.A.M.B.
Thanks again.

 

Very nice work CornField.

 

thanks for all the kind words guys

 

finished up the headers. also the owner wanted a skid plate made to protect the aluminum oil pan, ask and you shall receive




nice tight fitment of the tubes to the cones, before i cut out the holes and fully welded. some pics of some of the welds




skid plate fabbed up




some welding on the skid plate

 

a small update, doing some little things for the Cincinnati world of wheels. finished up the floor skeleton, started mounting the seats to the skeleton (floor will still be fully skinned), and mounted some carbs and a scoop. some pics............

Not my taste in cars but it is nice to see one done right- quality work! Jim

 

Really nice work! well thought out and some great execution!!!

 

here are some pics from today, got the brake pedal/ master cylinder mounted and some head lights mocked up

 

You are doing some nice work. I really like the motor mounts, nice touch. The tunnel ram also makes it look mean.

 

Nice lookin' work on this project.

VR&C.

 

Love this thread. Just started building my 29 and you have really hit the l on the head. Any tips on zding the chassis? I'll be running rear bags, I was thinking 10"? Love the stance of yours, what angle is the z in that? Keep the posts coming!! Can't get enough of this!!

 

great welds great pics great ideas, subscribed!

 

Great job. Can't wait to see whats next.

 

I really like the safety tubes tucked in neatly, retaining the classic look. Also the front bones mounts tucked in the frame joint - classy. Well done. Lots of ideas for my build in here!

 

been a while since i had a chance to work on this car. but got the floor skeleton all welded up, and started to make the floor pans

 

Wow, for what he dropped off and the masterpiece that you are constructing for him, he had better be speechless when its done! Great work!

 

Well, I like your work, you're a talented young man.....destined to stay young, you'll never grow old if you keep welding with no protection. If you want to become a talented knowledgeable old man, cover up, melanoma kills, remember that. Old welders cover every inch.

 

Great build pictures. Nice work.

 

it has been a while since i have had a worthy update. but here is some pics of the floor i have been working on













worked some more on the floor and trans tunnel. got all the pieces formed and fit. once the body comes off i can do some hammer and dolly work to get some of the rough spots worked out

when working on the front part of the tans tunnel, i needed to shrink the back edge to get it to taper. so i used my reciprocating hammer and shrinking dies to do the job





fit in the car after some plannishing and wheeling





continued my way back
