the wheel base is 107 inches, which is 4 inches longer than stock. made some more progress

fabbed up front section of the trans tunnel

passenger side toe board

area of the floor were the fuel tank will sit

all the lines laid out for the section of the floor that go between the floor pans, and the gas tank area

the panel made up and in place

 

[cornfield customs]

this panel goes behind the area for the fuel tank and makes a small storage area in the rear

and with the fuel tank in place

That looks damn good, nice work, I really like the offset to the panel, I need like a few straight weeks straight with the roller... wish I had a power feed on mine...

made a little progress on this one today. the original quarters had the fenders gas welded on, higher than normal. needless to say they did a horrible job and ruined the quarters. i tried to grind down the welds and straighten the original metal, but it was to thin and brittle. so i decided to just make new centers for the quarters. here is how they are coming out

before i got started

the old quarter center removed

the new sheet metal, spent some time on the english wheel to get the crown to match the original.

first test fit, pulled it back off and did some more wheeling and shrinking on the flanged side

started tacking it in place

 

[cornfield customs]

mostly welded up and ground, ran out of welding wire for the day. once i get it fully welded and ground, i will do some more metal working to finish it out

since i ran out of welding wire and had a couple more hours till close, i started on the hood. making a cardboard template

bead rolled, flange bent, and ran through the slip roll

some more rolling

got it fitting good, still needs some finish work

 

[klink]

looking good!

 

[Dirtyrat]

Every time I look at this thread I'm blown away...
Damn fine work.... I hope some day I can learn some of these panel fabrication skills...

 

[jfg455]

Very sexy in its new sheer sheet metal dress! [cl[P[P

 

[Neverdone]

Wow!!! You definitely do some fine work!!!! I wish I was half as handy with my bead roller, or any of my metal tools for that matter, as you are with yours!!

 

[Madmath]

Very very nice [cl

 

[CORPO]

got the driver quarter pretty much finished ( still need to do a little the rear area) .after all the welding and grinding i think it turned out nice, will just need a little filler right around the body lines to smooth out some of the grinding marks. then it was time to start on the wheel well.

cut the old wheel well out

the customer had already bought these wheel wells so i will use them. needed to be cut out for axle and spring clearance. i also moved the finished ends of the beads up that i had to cut through. i think it gives it a nice finished look.

 

[cornfield customs]

then i need to add the flange back on where i cut

 

[cornfield customs]

got the wheel wells tacked in and then welded solid and smoothed out

Is there a way to not see this thread pop up. I dont want to see this kind of stuff, just makes anything I have ever done look so subpar. The craftsmanship you have is unbelievable.

 

[donsrods]

I know what you mean. People like this were put on the Earth to make guys like me feel bad.


Super nice, very clean work, as always, Mike. Love the look.
