Well im glad my slow pace has not made everyone loose interest.... I will finish it... just dont know how long it will take me to get there.. I am thinking I need to take a week off and really hit it hard... But just so hard to find the time... work is crazy busy these days...

 

[Dirtyrat]

You in Automotive Corpo? we are swamped too... its nuts!

Good luck finding some more time, we voted in another thread to add hours to the day, but I have not seen that happen yet =(

 

[Tim...Ok]

Lose interest? Hardly, we just look forward to the next update..

- motorcycles actually.. we are an OEM supplier

Lose interest? Hardly, we just look forward to the next update..

Haha thanks man... Not a big update.. spent the long weekend welding.. welding and more finish welding... I also made all my box plates for my frame... which still needs to be finish welded... I burned out two angle grinders and went through 15 cut off wheels making the box plates....

I dont think I would ever build a frame from old rails again... it would have been 1000 times easier and less time consuming to start with fresh material.

 

[Dirtyrat]

Looking good though man! Nice work on the frame!

Hang in there!!!!

Really good engineering Corpo. But...not enough hours in the day, huh?[S

How 'bout this? I'M RETIRED and I can't seem to get any time on my COE!!!! Got some family difficulties right now but they will work out. Just some advice.....don't retire or you won't have ANY time. LOL Ask any old retired f**t, he'll tell ya!

Just think how boring life would be without a build. Yeah, when it's done, you'll drive and enjoy it.......till the NEXT one.[[cl

Good luck

2 words for you my friend :

PLASMA CUTTER.......


I have a lil Miller Spectrum 375 Cutmate. good machine. cuts through frame rails like a hot knife through butter.

Yea yer build always helps keep me amped up for mine. RR

Very impressive!!! You are obviously very talented and don't just see
A piece of metal when looking at you build.

Not everyone has the ability to see something in their mind and then
Build it.

My hats off to you!

It looks like you're enjoying the process. I encourage you to not lose sight of that. There's no hurry.

"Finished" just means you're ready to start another.

 

[RAVENS29]

Hey corpo, I gotta say that one piece at a time is the way to go. saw this on the other site. looks great!

 

[truckster]

Any updates?

 

[Dirtyrat]

Indeed, anything new?

 

[towb3]

Corpo, you are catching up with me hardcore. I haven't made it much further. Wrapping up the floors and need some finish welding in he frame. Hopefully this summer. Yours is looking great. Kane this Summer we will catch up. I am meeting Jeremy or 70fastback this week to drop off some wishbones he was wanting.

Its true, but im ready for this one to be on the road so I can start tinkering on something new...

Thanks, your roadster is awesome, I saw they screwed up all your links over there...

Indeed, anything new?

Yes!

Yeah this year for sure, I know I have been saying that for about 3 years now, but this time I am serious.. Jeremy is getting quite a stash of nice projects lined up...

 

[CORPO]

Updates... Its going back together...

Many thanks to my dad who spent way to much time prepping painting, smoothing, painting.. sanding.. painting.. etc... I did convince him to only focus on the areas that will be visiable.. being that most of the frame wont be seen once assembled, but here you can see how smooth he got the front rails... he was able to hide the majority of the 76 years of abuse

rear end assembled and back in.. still have to reinstall the brakes..

Floor/inside of cab ready to go...

You Sir, are a real craftsman! What a great build. [cl

 

[zzrodder]

Lookin' real fine CORPO !![cl[cl When I get to this stage in a build, I just don't want to come in from the garage unless it's a life threatening (wife threatening ??) situation....
