    I am sure a lot of you guys know my friend lewy on here, he owns the larkness monster 59 studebaker gasser. We finally conviced him it was time for a Hot Rod. So he picked up a Model A vicky body and we are going to help him a long the way build a killer little hot rod.

    so far we got the ASC rails cleaned up, and in the Jig. put one of our front cross members in, bobbed off the horns, gas tank bolted up and working on some one off boxing plates.

    had to replace the king pin bushings for him and could not find my bushing driver so made a new one on the lathe

    also started on the front mount plate for the engine, done in the same fashion as the rails

    Outstanding attention to detail. The inner plates and motor mount are out of the park!

  11. Beautiful work! What are you using to finish off the welds on the recessed portion of the boxing plates? Just high speed rotary file bits?
