Dude, those are sweet! I never get tired of looking at the cool fabrications this site sees on a regular basis.
Mr.Gussett
Yep... he can do it!
Nice!
Looks Great Bonehead!
Looks like you made the fletchings like I have made some " wood grain" on some projects
I used my plasma cutter without the ground attached to the piece!
Is that your secret too?
Cant wait to see them and get started on Rex's truck!

Bonehead they look just GREAT ! Will send you a pm.
Hi Mike, Hope all is well for you. If it works out I'd like to stop by & see your place & projects. If we get wrapped up with the frame design I will most likely catch you down at Cincy.
Johnson, Where abouts you located? There is a show coming up in Cicny this Jan. Maybe we can all get together there.

Moms house is just south of Chillicothe, Dads is in Kingston(just north). I`m like 10 minutes away no matter where I`m staying. We`ll see about the show in Cincy, my girlfriend has been wanting to go to big show for awhile now.

A Good Saturday
Well we made it down to Mr.G's on Saturday & spent the day. Had the pleasure of meeting his folks & family as they were there for a Christmas dinner. Great family.
We got around to the mock up stage & finally the ideas pretty much came together. I took my camera along to post up the the pics here & soon learned that the memory card was missing.GRRRR! So Tim is going to post up some pics that he took. ThanksTim!
The frame rails will be pretty cool when they come together. Need to gather a few more parts to get the measurements down to the T & get the steel come'n.

Tim, Looks good. Will give you a buzz this p.m..
Thanks for the encouragement guys. This is my first build & I've changed my mind several times on different parts of the build,for the better. When I get to thinking about it it's kind of like a community build from other ideas that members use on there Rats. So a "Big Thank You" goes out to all.

Mr.Gussett
Yep... he can do it!
Parts are here!
Well Rex came down to my shop this morning and brought some parts for the build!
Bonehead is a new dealer for Lucky 7 stuff so that's where Rex got the front axle! Real nice looking pieces! [cl
Rex has a neighbor who has a water-jet and he had them jet in the build name into the center of the I-beam!
Looks real good!
Held the axle up to the yellow trk body to see contrast!
Going to order steel for frame this coming week and get started on the frame!
Stay tuned for pics as I get stuff fabbed up

59' Caddy
Picked up the other half of our build last weekend. It's a 59' Caddy with the BIG fins. Here's some pics from loading it up to taking it apart at the farm shop. It's funny how some things come together at times. I knew the guy that had it & just learned recently. It is the leftovers from six part cars that he put together to restore a beautiful 59' convertible.
