since the last one was closed,i added a ***le that tied it into the other thread so people would know what project it was.

this is a progress thread,but i like to have a ***le that grabs your attention.

if it has to be this way,i understand.

sorry,i don't have one for the rear.i make them to fit whatever ch***is i'm building.

-danny

 

Give us a good overall shot of the front jig. I'd like to see the way you keep the bars from moving, and any clamps or other mounts.

 

keep the pot stirred,or the gravy will stick to the bottom.

here are some pictures of my hair pin jig,and pictures of the steps that it takes to make them.

hope you like.

They don't call him.. " Dan the man " ... for no reason .....

 

my fan club.

good to hear from you the other day.

-danny

 

All I am gonna say is you are the man!!! It is guys like You, Littleman, and Jimmy White that I strive to build like everyday. It just dont get any better and on top of that you and your dad are down to earth and there ready to answer anyones questions even if it is on the clock on a normal busy day. That means alot.

Thanks Danny and Bruce for all the post and the great pics

Rusty

 

i'm honored to be put in that company,they are both really nice guys and killer fabricators.

rusty,your calls are allways welcome.sorry i couldn't make your show.

Danny, the hair pin jig is top notch. Where were you last Tech Week???

 

the stuff i make requires tooling that most builders don't have,sometimes i feel showing it is a waste of the HAMB's time.

i guess i need to change my at***ude,and throw it out there anyway.

richard,glad you like my stuff.

Danny, thanks for posting the pics of your whole hairpin process. I now understand why you asked whether to post in this thread or in a new one. you've got damn fine system set up.

one question, the blocks with the concave trough cut into them, are they used to hold each leg of the hairpin at angle in the mill?

again, thanks for posting. it most definetly gives me something to strive for.

-PaX

 

Awesome thread, please keep updating it.

 

you are correct,on the blocks.the one with the slight angle is to hold the bars at the right angle to mill the fish mouth.the one with the greater angle is for the 7 degree angle on the bullet,where the eye meets the frame.

feel free to ask all the questions you need.

-danny

 

Thank You Sir for taking the time and posting great Tech! I have a question on the Hairpins. How did you bend the end with the radius?

 

Outstanding.

 

True. I have had a mill for six months, and a lathe for a few years, but I've barely used the lathe, and the mill isn't powered up yet. Someday these will come in handy(when I retire???). Seeing how this is done, could help you plan a job and take it to a machine shop; with knowledge of machine set-ups, you could have a jig built and the part ready to be machined, saving a few bucks. If that makes sense.

 

i have a jd squared manual bender with replaceable dies for different sizes of tubing.the hairpins are 7/8" diameter, with a 3" radius.my crossmembers are 1 1/2" with a 5.5" radius.

hope this helps.

-danny

 

i understand perfectly.

plug in the mill and get to work.

-danny

 

Fantastic! Looks great and lots of clever ch***is work!

 

here are some new pictures of the ch***is.

hope you like.

Hey Dan, did you guys make the rear shackles ?? ...

 

Need to install the single to three phase converter, and I'm scared of electricity.

 

Excellent workmanship. Any more photos of the black '33 in the background of the first group of pictures?.....Mike

 

they are front shackles from so-cal that i made wider to fit a 2 1/4" rear spring.those are a prime example that you have to change everything you buy.at least i do,it seams nothing is good enough for me.it is a curse.

hey moe,brandon h. stopped by the shop today,we had fun talking about the old days.

-danny

 

sorry,that was an in and out job.it belongs to Guy from dallas.it's a neat old car,mostly stock with a dropped front and rear.it is really maroon with black fenders.it had a real cool look to it.

i just did some fixit work,the rest was done up in the dallas area.

Beautiful work as always. Love your posts !
