My new change of pace

[Steve97tj]

Stopped working on the truck to switch back to the 36 and get it out finally. It's a completely new car almost since it came in.

This is one of the hardest metal shaping things I've had to do just because of how the piece is curved in so many directions.
New rear frame section moving gas tank up



These are the headlight and shock mounts I modified and capped


Built a mount for battery and jump terminals

Whole front end is handmade now and it looks stripper tits

That's sick.

Please say no to flames on the truck though.

 

[Steve97tj]

No no no those are old fenders that were on it when it came in. It will be this greyish color. Has a metal headliner in it that turned out cool. I'll grab a picture when I go back to shop of how it sits now. This is going to be the owners new daily driver.

Tore her down to finish welding and plating the frame and do a few things to the body while we had it off the frame. Now were reassembling it for last time before we shake it down and then paint. Looking forward to boiling the tires off on this bitch.

Friend of the bossman came by today and snapped some pics of the 36. Had to share a few of them bc they turned out badass.

With the exception of a few interior pieces for the doors she's done for now.

That thing is so badass

That thing is so badass

Yeah it is!

 

[Steve97tj]

Thanks. A lot of time and work in it. Doesn't look anything like it did when it came in in July to have the brakes fixed.

Had a 66 chevelle I had been working on that finally left

Doing some sweet side skirts for this pimp daddy caddy

Bossmans 56 wagon is the next thing were planning on working on get the LS motor going and all the suspension worked out, trying to talk him into bagging it.

 

[Steve97tj]

Did a bunch of chassis work on the 56 wagon and had to make the 5.3 and all it's accessories fit nicely.


2002 trunk area turned out cool. This isn't finished pictures of it but you kinda get the idea. Will be wrapped in black leather to match interior



This things off to paint and pretty much done


I've been putting power windows in a 66 chevrolet and eliminating the vent window

Tested the motor using an 18v battery from my drill to check everything for clearance, about broke the stop off the door it was so fast.

47 pickup is turning out to be badass. Once we get it moved to the other frame plate I'll snap a pic of it as a whole.

Chopped the roof so we lowered the floor 2"

Well been in Atlanta for a little over a year and decided a few months back that we wanted to move back to the upstate. High cost of living and city life aren't really my thing. I've definitely enjoyed doing the hot rod/custom car gig for a living but not enough to stay in Atlanta. Monday is my last day at MU and I'm going to be helping a guy for a few weeks here and I'll be moving back to greenville mid November to start work.

 

[jimbo92]

Whooooo greenville, I can't wait till you get back in the neighborhood so you can not answer the phone and never drink cold beer haha. Where you going to be working in gville?

We found a little house off Lauren's rd close to downtown so I'll be up In the mix more then I was out in my apartment way out in taylors. Pretty solid 2 car garage out back that needs some love.

Going back to the place I use to work called Current Tools but with a different role/position then I was. I've missed getting to weld as much as I use to and I'll be working there with they're r&d ppl building and designing prototypes and fixtures and what not. Still doing some production work too but not nearly as much as I had been. Hoping to get some training out of it using design software and maybe eventually make my way to a desk and get less dirty everyday.
