Rikster Thanks so much for posting this thread. This gent is a metalworking genius. We can learn so much from these pictures. What a talented man.
Hi All. We had to park the car in the back, it was the weekend from hell for us. Loaded the car on Thursday and we had an electrical problem with the duallie, no quick fix. We had the car their for one day. Our winch and switch broke on the trailer. We were happy to get back home. Glad some one got photos of the car.
Sorry you had such issues but I sure am glad you were able to get there as it was the one car I really wanted to see. Saw you parked a couple of streets over from the fair grounds Saturday morning must have been getting ready to unload it. Car really is incredible can't wait to see it finished.
I was surprised that I didn't see the car all weekend. Now I know you were there, but had a difficult weekend. Sorry to hear it; I look forward to seeing the next steps on the car.
Sorry to hear about your troubles Pat. I spied the car from 300 yards away and took some pics. Can't wait to see this one done. Rikster you can add these to your files. 60'

His '41 Coupe is one of the best ones, ever. Perfect design along with Paul's craftmanship, it is pure art to me. I love it, and it brings me loads of inspiration.

Hey, Paul Bragg is not of this world! Real metalwork makes my naughty parts tingle ! How's the book comming, tinguy? " All great truths begin as blasphemies "
Not sure how I missed this when it was first posted. This is one of the best threads for metal work on the HAMB. Thanks Rik. BloodyKnuckles
Here are some photos of Paul's work on a 1951 Mercury. The side window openings were all rounded.... An amazing amount of work... but it looks Soooo good!!! And also check the mods that are planned.... in black marker.
Paul send a few more in progress photos of the 1941 Ford he is building. The metal work on the car is now almost done.. and the car should be in primer in the fall. Paul is also working on his wife's Pat 1954 Mercury, and both cars are planned to be finished at the same time. Because of the Hot Californian summers it was decided to use a center grille for extra cooling. So the filler piece was opened up to create a new custom opening. The car will get a Buick nailhead engine. And the finished new grille opening. WOW!!! Talk about perfection.
