Hot Rods Wheeew, saved a 32 5w from the crusher!

Hi Jay ,

will you post a pic of the dimple dies for the screws ?? i have a need for some.

thanks,
Gary

 

I hate to see you go through all that work. Just to save that heap, just send it my way. I'll put it out of your misery. Outstanding work!

 

Ha! I could do all that, if I had the right tools....Oh wait a Minute, I might need to also have some talent, artestry, imagination, skill, (did I mention talent?) and flair.
When are you moving to Australia, so you can work on mine?
Love your work man, the one off pieces are sensational and the car is lookin' great.

 

I'm sorry but that firewall looks like the side of the lunch truck ,
that used to stop by work years ago.
spongebob w.

 

^must have been one fine looking lunch truck I guess.

 

Looking good jay! I need to corner you about the blacksplash in the strawshop. Seriously.

 

you guys with talent make me want to puke !!!

Outstanding job !

 

seats done and ready for assembly


rear garnish is nearly done too, the rear glass is getting glued to the garnish, and will be removable. The screws hold the sliders in place.

The top will have some nifty polished aluminum thumb screws that will hold the whole thing in place.



should have a big update ready by the weekend as soon as things start coming back from the stitcher guy!

 

I can't begin to say how badly you've fucked up that perfectly good streetrod...

Shame on you.

I'm gonna call your boss in the morning, and demand he fire you immediately.

 

sorry its been a bit, finally got some things back from suppliers.


Bones look awesome! You might say its the cats ass.


Made the center of the headliner too, wanted something cool to show off the dome light. Not sure what the dome light is from, its silver and the lens is soldered in.



Okay, heres a love/hate moment. I love it! All the sheetmetal in the car will be painted the same colors.

 

Very tasteful workmanship....

 

wow, nice

 

Tinman, You have sure saved this Deuce ! All the changes were very much well planned and executed changes. Plus it is making it a more useable rod. Best of both worlds.

 

Love the bones Jay, keep it coming

 

stunning, I love all the werk, excellent craftsmanship!!!

 

Great work - I love the way you're getting that old junker back into shape with all of your really cool design touches. Looking very, very nice ....

 

Oldbobsign is very fortunate!!

 

That quilted Firewall is Tits man..I like the little fill in stuff too..oh, and thanks for some ideas i may use..

 

Man Jay this is all lookin great. I cant wait to see this all put together!

 

Awesome work Jay. Not sure how I missed this post before. I was talking to Larry in Decatur about the work you were doing for him. He was obviously very pleased. Now I can see why.

Can I come play in your shop? I'm sick of doing computer stuff. Seriously though, you do amazing work.

 

Great work, keep us posted

 

Amazing work!

 

super nice work!

Sorry for the delay, I've had some supplier issues that have slowed things down so I haven't had much to show off.

Most of the interior is done.

door panel/rear kick panel



Headliner



Stuff for behind the seat



The garnish and such are on the way to the body man which is a load off my mind for sure.

Most of the time spent on it lately has been detail stuff that if your more than 10' away you wont see. Tidying up wiring, finishing plumbing the kind of stuff you can spend a whole day doing and take a few steps back and cant see any difference. Still has to be done though.

One of the things it needed was a hardline for the pressure side of the heater. I wanted it to run parallel with the valve cover and stay there, so it needed some bracketry.







after painting and installation.



I also redid the throttle cable made entirely of #3 brakeline. Same for the kickdown.



The cable ended up a bit long and I'm gonna shorten it up as soon as I get another fitting.

After spending many days doing monotonous stuff I promised myself something fun for the weekend,, so here it is.





Cool Jeffybump! (shifter tower)



There wont be a flange for the boot, it will slip inside the hole from the bottom and be secured by a couple flutes from a rack boot.

 

beautiful work, does that tower get carpet? cool kitty

 

No the tower is getting some bodywork and paint, interior guy would loose his marbles trying to wrap that!

 

Nice how you saved that car and de gooched it at the same time.

 

Wow! Great attention to detail!

 

Meant to post on here before... Man, you sure do some nice work!!
Also, it was cool to run into you at the Pileup....



Malcolm

 

Stop complimenting him!....

It's like feeding the animals at the zoo....
