**Tech: Build your own 32 frame rails**

Those are nice! WOW!

 

Droooooooooooooooooool

Ok so you have more skill in a finger than i do in my entire body.................

Kick ass tech tip

 

dude you win tech week.......

 

I’ve had a few questions about the cost of materials. It really only cost me the price of MIG wire, Argon/co2 and 1 sheet of luan underlayment. The steel was free so I don’t have a cost estimate. I can tell you how much steel I used.

8 pieces – 66 inches by 6 inches
8 pieces – 66 inches by 3 inches

The table really was left over from a canoe I built. Here’s a pic for spiffy1937.

 

sweet!

 

Looking at this canoe, and the 32 frame, I have to say, you are probably one of the most talented guys here on the Hamb.

 

That's what I'm sayin'.

 

Amazing work. Thanks for the inspiration.

 

Wow! Now that's cool! If it was mine, I'd remove that crusty old ford body off of it so your art-work could be viewed by all! [just kidding ] I love how well it flows in the curves, and the clean weld joints using the belt sander is just icing on the cake

You got MAD skills dude! Just a shame your wasting them in your 9-5... You should be building rods fulltime.

I'm pretty sure we now have a tech-week winner....... Unless someone can show us how to construct a 500 horsepower 392 HEMI out of old beer cans for $30... Cuz that's what it's gonna take to top this one!

 

VERY impressive!

 

ruler.

 

wow! excellent tech post , thanks..

 

HOLY CHIT!!! That is amazing. Gotta love this place!!b

 

Very nice tech article, thanks!!

 

As a guy who modifies existing things to my use, seeing what youv'e done here is way beyond what I could ever dream to attempt.

Congratulations,

I do hope that in your work life you are using your skills and are appreciated and compensated for this by your company.

WOW

 

Hah, that fuckin rules! MIG welded & home-built... fuck the naysayers.

Keep us posted on the progress of your build, as well as your great tech write ups.

 

you're a badass. do people catch on fire when you look at them?

 

Unreal talent and patience to build that all from scratch. My mind blew chunks through outer space into the milky way. One of the best techs since the guy who made a 32 shell out of a GMC truck grille surround.

This would have been great even if you bought the steel, but somehow it's made even sweeter by the fact that it's all built out of dumpster scraps. I'd really like to know what you do for a living.

 

True inspiration for us wanna-be fabricators!

 

That canoe qualifies as porn in some states.

 

Daaaaamn! You are THE man! Great work!

 

I'll throw in another WOW, for ya. That is very nice work. Thank you so much for the time you put in making this tech thread for us. Now, when is your next one comming out?

 

Awesome thread. I hope you show your car as you build it. I would like to know what you do for a living also. To scratch build frame rails and a canoe shows you have incredible talent with your hands and your mind. Thanks for sharing both...

 

If ya don't mind, and have time, throw up pic of that grinder that you contoured the welds with. (unless, of course, it's secret weaponry!!)
Absolutely beautiful work. Thanks for takin' the time for us.

 

holy s#!t . you sir are one tallented s.o.b , i think tech week has a winner ! nice clean work !

 

you've got way too much time on your hands!! LOL... nice job!!

 

sweet looking rails..wow!!!

 

That's not fabrication, that's art. What a kick ass Tech week!

P.S. Please don't wait another year to post again.

 

those are the prettiest frame rails ive ever seen. You put some serious time into those things. Extremely quality work man. What did you use to polish all your welds off in order if you dont mind me asking. grinding wheels, flap discs, and then scotch brites?

 

I was just daydreaming today about maybe trying to make my own frame rails. Great photos of the process. Makes me feel like I could do it.
