I like the frame design, great work as usual
nice talking to you in Detroit

 

[cornfield customs]

made a little more progress on the chassis over the last couple days. been busy with other small projects that too away a lot of time from this one.
made the center K member / trans mount

and modified some F1 shock mounts to work on the front. machined some threaded bungs, welded them into the frame, counter sunk the bolt holes and used some countersunk allen head bolts

been super busy finishing up some small projects around the shop. now that they are out of the way, i can get back on the truck chassis. started making the ladder bars. using old wishbones for the tubes. i a, really liking the way they are coming out. still need to sand blast them and some more filing. but you get the idea

 

[Old Iron]

That's really lookin great [cl
Who's axles are you using?

 

[CORPO]

very nice.. i really like the rivet look detail you have been doing adds a lot to overall finished product

 

[bob w]

So well-built and highly creative to boot.

BTW, I just found and watched the video with you, Yokam, Bleed, Shine and others building a Model A sedan. Enjoyed it a lot.

motor mounted, and making some cool little mounts

As I was reading this, I was thinking, "If cornfield customs thinks they're cool little mounts, they're going to be AMAZING!!!"

...they are

If I were at a different stage in life, I'd move up there today to learn from you.

[cornfield customs]

more work on the chapney 29 sedan
taking off more of the bad





new used A pillar band going on

 

[cornfield customs]

some of the awesome repairs done on the driver door that needs redone

 

[cornfield customs]

so now comes the repairs, had to take off the door bottom and get things back to where they should be. measured off a stock door to make sure this one is the right size



got the inner structure fixed then moved onto making a new door skin. used some body sweeps to get the same shape into the new skin. used the english wheel to put the shape in the skin, bead roller to turn the hemmed edge, and hammer and dolly to set the hem

still need to cut and weld the top seam just below the body line. should have that done tomorrow

 

[cornfield customs]

got the skin cut and tacked to the door at the top. just need to tig weld it up and hammer it out

and got the hinges swapped over to the new used passenger door, the door top was bad so i cut it off, i will be using the door top from the original door. no big deal since the car will get chopped
