Sorry it didn't work out for your friend but good to hear it worked out good for you.

I'm somewhat guilty of being a lurker mostly because I'm not building a rat at the moment anyway, but would like to at some point. I've got to finish my panel first. I did have hopes at getting a 32 chevy coupe but found it met its match with a dozer so I'll have to wait to see what else comes...

looks very nice, it's great when you get the bugs out eh!

And again from another Ontario guy, welcome. Wouold also like to see some pics.

Here's a picture of my panel in high build primer I managed to spray on this past weekend

Thanks for your reply, I have another question. Does the pullman work like a plinishing hammer or is it an actual press motion that does the forming? I'm not familiar with metal working machines but would like to be.

That piece looks really nice, I'm not in the market for one of those but always interested in how things are made. Curious,why the 90% bend, is that to hold it straight while it's going through the pullman? I wish I had access to machinery like that because I like seeing how things work and...

I think Walmart could use it, kind of looks like the roll back ball,:):) ha ha

Nice find and great price, should look good.

Thought I'd show the frame I was using for my panel, it's a 72 c10 chassie. The drive train is going to be donated from the 90 chevy in the background to the left, it has a 350cu.in with auto trans, my plan is to use the rear diff as well. I've got to take some pictures tomorrow of the panel...

That 57 looks awsome and I think that Edsel would be rare no. wise. I can't help you much but there is a car club in Winnipeg Manitoba called the Fabulus 50's and there is a guy there that is able to recreat any body panel that built a basket case panel delivery for Piston Ring. I believe it was...

Yeah, it's solid now but not so solid when I started out. It's taken me long enough to get it where it is now, I seem to spend a lot of time scratching my head wondering what I should do next, this is my first project I'll have under my belt. I do appreciate all your compliments, thanks.

It's been a few weeks since I've posted on here but thought I'd share my last accompishment as I've sprayed bedliner to the underside of my panel. My plans are to spray the high build primer to the main body next weekend. Here's the link to the picture;

That's what worked best for me, that mill scale is tougher than the steel it's covering.

Okay we can chop that one then,ha ha. I would like to try some chopping and sectioning on something in the future myself just to see how it would turn out.

Seeing the condition of your panel I'd be afraid to attempt a chop of any kind, it looks so nice. I'm building a 56 myself and don't possess the talent to chop one but have sat and thought that if I were going to, I'd chop it evenly through out it's entire length in three places. First, I'd...

Well I'm amazed at how many are joining this forum and I'm one of them also and would like to welcome you as well as the many others. It appears to be a popular forum and one to gain alot of knowledge from....John:)

I'm new to the site and have been browsing, come upon your build, it's looks fantastic and has me thinking of sidelining my panel, but not sure if I'd survive the beating from my wife,lol. You did a really nice job of it and your daughter must be really proud and hope she is doing fine. John

Thanks for the info Sniper ,I'll keep a copy of that for the future if I get to build me something.

Real nice transformation to that dash, do you have pictures of the overall project, I'm new here and just getting my feet wet, so what I'm saying is you do probably have it post somewhere on here just haven't seen it yet.
