thanks guys, yes i do Tig weld at my shop on most small parts, and some sheet metal work.

 

As everyone has already mentioned, simply amazing talent! It appears your time is in very high demand, I just wish I lived 1000 miles closer!

 

nice fab work..

 

finished out the monthly budget on this car this week. worked on the spreader bar, head light stands, and fuel tank mounts.

the head light stands needed the ball socket cut loose and tilted forward to work right with the 32 headlights







welded in section of 1 7/8 tube for the front spreader bar





then made the gas tank stands, and hold down straps

 

finished up this sheet metal air management box for a fellow hamb member

 

You sure do quality work in your shop. thanks for taking pictures and posting
Cheers paul

 

some more work on the coupe

also please follow me on instagram for daily photo updates of the shop #cornfieldcustoms

the old section of the rear passenger quarter panel, it was a little beat up and had some rust. so i decided to replace the whole corner.

the old



the new all welded in, still needs a little metal work



did a little more tweaking on the trunk opening to get the deck lid fitting good



a shot of the deck lid first row of louvers started



all louvered up



found another hidden rust hole





patch panel all tacked in place



ready to put in the passenger side wheel well



all tacked in place

 

what the hell is instagram? I'm old. nice work kid

 

damn nice work may have to stop in and check out your shop next time im in the area

 

Nice work, I wish you where closer, I love to get a louvered roof in my 31 sedan

 

thanks guys, rattaxie stop by any time.

 

more progress on this one, had to modify the new stainless head light stands to work with the car











got both lights mocked up, mounted them low for a more aggressive look







brake/ clutch master cylinder mocked up



had to machine these support blocks/ spacers for the deck lid hinges. they help support the sheet metal on the body and are counter bored to allow the raised area around the thread boss on the hinges





new hinges on





a shot of the support braces installed

 

Great work man!
Like how its coming along.
Been following your progress on ig

 

Real cool work. Keep the pics coming. thanks

 

ahhhhh very impressed and happy I came across this site. Very inspiring. Working towards getting my shop going slowly but surely. We all know the amount of time it takes to acquire all the tools and knowledge and it seems like you have most of that. It always boggles my mind that people can do this for a living, around me just seems like everyone builds stuff themselves. Glad your making a living doing it. I'v owned my own printshop for the past five years and love it, but I want to have more time to build hot rods and customs. Maybe I can swing through sometime, I'm in PA.

 

Great work.

 

Very nice work.
How do you make those large recessed or raised panels as in post 114?

 

Very nice work,,HRP

 

for the large raised panels i use a bead roller with a step die, and do the shape all the way around

 

Like the front window art!

 

made more progress today. both doors need lower door skins, so i started on the passenger door today. i figured it would be best to put a full lower skin on up to the belt line. that way if you looked inside the door you could not see the weld seam.

started off by making a paper template, then transferring it to some sheet metal





old door skin removed, all the loose rust scale removed and some black primer sprayed on



i forgot to take pics of me making the skin itself. pretty much i used the english wheel to get some crown on the panel, then ran it through the bead roller to make the lower body line. used the brake to bend the edges up. i will snap some pics of the making of the skin tomorrow when i make the driver side.

new skin clamped up



inside edge like a factory skin





inside of the weld seam, cut out the inner bracing so i could get in to hammer and dolly the weld seam area



after some welding, grinding and hammering and dollying this is what i came out with

 

Nice!

 

good stuff man!

 

Very cool stuff, talked to you for a bit at the Road Rockets show in Indy.

 

so i went to re skin the driver door today, when i got the old skin off there was a lot of rot and pin holes in the bottom of the door frame, so i had to make a new door bottom.

after a couple hours of bending, drilling and bead rolling i came up with this









after a few more hours of cutting, welding and grinding







had to do some steel buck rivets



pretty much all finished



in black primer ready for the new skin





overall i think it turned out pretty nice

 

man ur shop does some nice work , awesome

 

thanks man

 

WOW just awesome work!
