I've mentioned before that Ron Pope (RPM on here) has done some parts fabrication work for me. He did the entire front and rear suspension for my (someday to be finished) altered project.
When he was here a few weeks ago, I gave him a cardboard template of a Hurst style motor mount I need to mount the sbc in my rpu project. He took it back with him to cut me one out of steel on his fancy/schmancy cutting thingie. Today the parts arrived and are exactly how I wanted them.
The piece at the bottom of the picture will be bent around the bottom of the large piece, and then I will make up some feet to go onto these pieces to go to my early Ford bisquit type mounts. It saved me so much cutting on the bandsaw and grinding to have Ron pop this out, and the cost is about what I would have had in some steel.
So, if any of you ever need some odd part made, I can't speak for Ron, but I think he would be happy to do it for you and save you as much time and work as he just saved me. Plus, he gets stuff done VERY fast, and the parts come out great. Money well spent.
Here is a picture of what I got from him today UPS. Big thanks, Ron.
