Projects '29 Model A Roadster Chassis Build...lots of pics.

Bass, Your secret is out!

...Weren't you in a few episodes of that 80s show "Small Wonder" as the older robotic brother??

 

those are some of the most beautiful welds i have ever seen.
i guess i have weld envy

 

Thanks Jimmy!

No frame horns on this one...the front of the frame is pinched to where it will disappear into the '32 shell. There will be a "Doane Spencer-esque" nerf bar on the front to hold the headlights and mount the shocks off of.

Like I said this is just the basic chassis...a lot of the detail stuff like that is yet to come.

 

Wow - I had no idea you were such a great fabricator. I'm ready for the finished product!... Amazing details!

 

Thanks Rusty....I used the TIG. Of course it's slower than mig, but the grinding is much easier and there's less chance of porosity.

 

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I still have a crush on the little robot girl.

You have no idea what kind of pre-pubescent dreams the idea of a robotic girl can conjure up.

(Disclaimer: I was 8 years old in 1985.)

 

all i can say is,...WOW...
can't wait for more updates!

 

nice tig man me being a welder by trade it's nice to see someone put efort into their work after all the trash i've seen and redone

again great job brotha keep at it!

 

wow, bitchin job man, inspiring at the least........

 

bass you are my hero. looking real nice.

All those little things make that frame look awesome like the rivets and how the motor mount mimics the front cross member. I want to see more.

 

Damn, that is bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Damn, I have 3 years to catch up with your skills.

 

I truly admire the sight of beautiful welds. Excellent. Encore please!

 

Once again Bass you have raised the bar for the rest of us. Makes want too take down the post I did on my quarter panel replacement until I can weld like that. Keep us posted on the build if you get time in between your customers.

 

Bass, you got some Serious Skills.

 

That is amazing! The motor mount is freakin awesome. I wish I could weld like that. Thanks for inspiration.

as always smokin bad ass work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Very kewl, can't wait to see the rest of the build.

 

Thanks! That's pretty much the desired result...a roadster that looks like it could have driven out of a late '50s Stroker McGurk cartoon.

 

"SHWING".........That car will be perfect!
This will be a very cool build to watch.

 

I'm grown up and still want to be like you! You are a surgeon with the metal. Outstanding craftsmanship!!!

 

Nice Brian. Hey, Who Is A Good Source For Some Dom Tubing?

 

Love the work. That front mount for the ladder bars is well thought out and stout!
