    Metal shaping classes

    good job on the peices they look really good! I took your advice and found a local guy that has an english wheel, hammer ect that is willing to show me a few things for free so I am going to do that next month for a few days before I make my decision on whether to spend the money on a class...

    Porosity curiosity

    Make sure both sides of the weld joint have been sanded and clear of rust, I had this happen to me and it turned out that I was pulling rust into the weld puddle from the back side of the material. In some cases I have cleaned the material with Nitol (2% nitric acid diluted in water) this will...

    Metal shaping classes

    Has anyone here attended the metal shaping/workshop classes advertised online? I have looked at several different places that offer 3 day courses in how to use english wheels, planishing hammers ect but I wonder how effective they are? I am thinking of doing this for my vacation this year but I...

    body channeling

    thanks for the close up shots it has really helped me plan out how I am going to do it. I went this afternoon and got some 1x2 tubing to make my sub floor and I have some 1x1 for the floor supports. I plan on using some 3/16 plate to make supports to anchor to the body shell. I have along way to...

    body channeling

    I agree with the 1x2 after seeing the photos (awesome job btw) I am only concerned with attaching the sub floor to the body of the car (how to make it solid).

    body channeling

    I'm trying figure out the best way to channel the body over the frame on my 36master deluxe (s10 frame). I'm thinking of welding 1x1 box tubing to the body skin and then crossing the frame with 1x1 tubing before covering the floor. Does anyone have any suggestions or pictures of how it has been...

    plasti dip

    Has anyone here ever used plasti-dip on parts? I have seen a lot of people use it on wheels (youtube) but wondered if anyone here has used it. I have used it on some of my tools (quart can) but have found some onebay in the spray can. It looks cool but pricey if it doesn't last.

    Hello from KY

    Thanks for welcome guys, I have been collecting parts for awhile now and hope that within the next couple of months can make a big impact on the project. I have a couple of smaller projects to finish before I get started so it may be a few weeks before I start a build thread. I am working on a...

    Hello from KY

    I will get some better pics up this weekend. I used the rack from a dodge caravan and fabed the mounting brackets, a company called unisteer makes a bolt on kit but it's pretty pricey. The hardest part is making the steering linkages, I am sure I will have to modify it more later on once i get...

    Hello from KY

    Stumble across the site while doing a google search for grill shells and thought I would check it out. I have built a few cars over the years (mostly muscle cars) and stumbled across a 36 chevy sitting in the weeds behind my neighbors barn. I got it home and decided it would be way too much work...
