Lookin good man. I never noticed how large that frame looks. But then again, depending on the power plant, it needs a big frame.
 
Finish up some lose ends to day wheel wells cut out, they will get a removable panel in them to clean them up. Other than the lead (that will be done at a later date) and 1 door upper window frame, the body is done as far as I'm taking it. It was raining all morning but as some as I finish up the sun popped out, like it was meant to be. so blocked it to ride height and rolled it out for some pictures.

Thank's ZZ can't say I want to do another one anytime soon.

On to the frame work. Cut, grind, weld, repeat over and over. front bags mount are in the bag. Headlight will work like a charm, going to have to work them over but better than a bags hanging out the front.

Nice to get away from all that sheet metal. The frame is going to be as unique as the body. Nice work, Mike.
 
Thanks Guys never a dull moment with this one

Well the owner has been on grinder duty the last couple days. He wanted to dress up the frame a little. So today was artsy day.

More parts showed up today. Rear end, front end and a set of tire. Tried to have a roller today but running low on wire so tack up the rear end and mocked the front up. Hope to have to out the door mid week.
 
Well she went home today.

Here she is.

I can't say that I like the wheels and tires, But your fab work is top shelf A+. I hope the customer knows just what you had to go thru so he could have a very cool rod.
 
mike.. we need a picture of it laid out to get the full affect!...

can t say i like the wheels either.. but my guess is you didnt pick them either
 
Thanks guys

I hope the customer knows just what you had to go thru so he could have a very cool rod.

Oh about 4k of his pocket money :D

CORPO, yea I forgot to snag some pics of it down, the owner said he would shoot me some pics ever now and then of progress but it may be awhile.

Yep them wheels are a bit of a shocker, but after you walk around the car for a while they kind of grow on you.

With no car in the garage I took the day to clean up skidrow.

Hey Mike.
I see you got one of my favorite tools as well. The blue office chair.
I broke mine 2 months ago after picking it up on trash day 6 years ago.
Now I got to stand all the time. No wonder my knees hurt.
What's next...
Torchie.
